      @dmmarti Hey! Nicely done! It definitely looks authentic. Does it work with 4:3 aspect ratio like the original? Ahh the nostalgia never ends. This time, it’s front-end theme nostalgia on top of retro-gaming nostalgia. Did you keep the swoosh sound effects? I love it.

      My 4-player cocktail style cabinet built as a custom "roadcase"

        @dmmarti well done, looks great!

        I'll be downloading this later today.

        You should try to add it to the themes downloader when you have the chance:)

          Yep.

          Just tested it. Looks really nice - well done! And great job on adding support for the new collections.

            @pjft Thanks!

            Yea...now that you and the other devs have been enhancing Emulation Station .... it's awesome that we can now begin making ES themes mimic a lot of the things that's being done in Attract Mode.

            So thanks to you and the other folks who make this all possible!

              @dmmarti very nice! Maximus was one of the first frontends I used (and MALA) when I first started my arcade project. Can't wait to give this a go.

                    @stephan311280 --- Here's the Maximus Pie photoshop template.

                    Have fun...and let me know what you make. I'd love to see it.

                    I actually fired up my Maximus Arcade front-end on my older gaming PC not too long after making this RetroPie version. Ah....the memories I have of using it......hahaha.

                        My wire really likes this theme. I "scraped" all my games and it works great except the marquee images are too small. I went into each marquee file and replaced it with a larger image and that did not help. I also "disabled the thumbnails and allowed for larger images and re-scraped. No luck.

                        I basically only run a dozen games in the "arcade" roms folder. Just classic arcade games like millipede and pacman.

                        Running a raspberry pi3 with 4.3.8 of retropie

                          @dmmarti Could you give us a breakdown of where the images and movies go along with where the config file for maximus pie is and the file name of it ?

                            @nollerd2 Figured it all out..

                            Except where the setting is for the arcade top of the arcade marquis..

                            :)

                            You need to add to each game where the mp4 video snaps are stored in my case I've stored them here:

                            /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/art/snaps/

                            You will also add the rom name with the extension at the end. *see my example below to see how it looks..

                            <?xml version="1.0"?>
                            <gameList>
                            <game>
                            <path>./aliensyn.zip</path>
                            <name>Alien Syndrome (set 4, System 16B, unprotected)</name>
                            <video>./art/snaps/aliensyn.mp4</video>
                            <rating>0</rating>
                            <favorite>true</favorite>
                            </game>

                                  @nollerd2 I love this theme. Is there a way to use a default marquee for all the games rather than it changing like the wheel. Thanks
