[RELEASE] PSX-MINI Theme

[frgn]

long thought about how these icons should look. in the end, that's what happened. Is it worth to include them in the theme?
yes, on the third icon you can see the flux capacitor from "back to the future"

as well as I drew some new icons:

I have tested the theme tonight and find it very well succeeded. I had already mentioned the topic already times, perhaps one could make the game cover a bit bigger by covering more squats? and the system logo is exchanged by the systemlogo? I find it somewhat unimpressive on which system one is currently. As similar to the nes-mini theme?

what do you mean? I do not speak English, and I read messages through google translator. so after the translation of this message, I did not understand anything at all. please try to reformulate the question. :)

okay :-) I said that one up in the middle perhaps the system covers instead of the writing pure? and the gamecovers are enlarged, they are quite small?

[Cybermen]

The new icons look great. Missing only scummvm :-). When does an update come with the new icons?

[frgn]

@cybermen
I forgot again about this icon
Of course, he had long been ready
I've never played it, so I used what's displayed in Google when I search for a ScummVM icon.

I'm sorry, but it seems today the translator has gone mad.
I did not understand anything at all. :(
I'll try to guess - in this theme the small size of the cover (boxart)?

[Cybermen]

Perfect the scummvm :-)

So I mean it:

@cybermen
Maybe, then you will offer me some picture best suited to this system? And I will redraw it into a pixel art.
Now I understand you. So it looks and the truth is better. I will do it.

Theme updated to version 1.1

In this update, minor bugs in the code were fixed (I hope I did not break anything there).
The screen with a choice of games has been changed. Now the space under the cover of the game and the description is more. Executed at the request of the @Cybermen .
Instead of the text indexes of the system name, logos are now displayed.
Added video support.
Added several new systems.

---

At the moment, it supports several screen resolutions in a 16: 9 aspect ratio.
Other aspect ratios are not supported!
Over time, I implement support for different aspect ratios.

For those who for the first time in this thread - initially it was just a modification of the nes mini theme. I just made it for myself, and at some point decided that she might like other people who have raspberry pi in the playstation 1 case.
But the nes mini theme was protected by a license, so I had to rework everything from the beginning.

Сhanged the scale of the grid, the general style and icons of the systems.
Now it looks as if the guys from SONY also decided to release a portable version of their console with built-in games. Anyway, I hope that it looks dignified.
If so, my idea was a success.

Examples:

The theme includes 43 gaming systems.

Full list:

• All Games
• Favorites
• Lastplayed
• Collections
• Amiga
• Arcade
• Atari 2600
• Atari 5200
• Atari 7800
• Atari Lynx

• Sega Master System
• Sega Megadrive
• Nintendo 64
• Nintedo DS
• Neo-Geo
• Neo-Geo Pocket
• Neo-Geo Pocket Color
• NES
• NES Classic
• PC (DosBox)

• Playstation
• Retropie menu
• ScummVM
• Sega 32x
• Sega CD
• SNES
• SNES Classic
• Super Famicom
• Super Famicom Classic
• Turbografx 16

A small instruction on how to change layouts:

By default, the screen resolution is 1920x1080, the layout of the buttons is help_1.xml and the style is gray.

Dudes, excuse me. I deleted the links, because I was preparing a small update.
But a small update, in the process of updating, suddenly turned out to be a bigger update than I had planned earlier. (ha-ha)

Before the release of the theme in this thread, it was possible to trace some users' interest. After the release all noticeably subsided. I only got one donate and a couple of comments.
To be honest, I expected more popularity, but something seems to have gone wrong. So it was decided to revise the concept. At the moment, a lot of work has been done (without exaggeration - I worked at night), but the theme still looks like a clone yourself know what.
I still decided to take a chance, and try to make the theme even more unique. Now again, sleepless nights, lack of sleep, and a condition close to the vegetable begin. But the craving for art outweighs all sound arguments.

At the moment, are ready new fonts. I spent a long time looking for something more suitable, revised a ton of sites, and found nothing. So I created my own fonts. Partially borrowed from the sprites from the old games of various gaming systems, but a little optimized and more easy to read. But they are still pixel.
Now I'm considering various ways to change the carousel.
In short - the links are now again working (for those who still want to try it). But it's still version 1.1

Now about donations.
Even 1 dollar, euro, * your country's money symbol * is a good incentive to continue to do something.
For a resident of the United States, Europe, etc., this is not so much a sum (you can live for 2 dollars 3 days or travel 5000 km for 50 dollars? if not, then ask me how. :)
For example - my rate per hour at my work is about 2 dollars (this is 12 hours and night shifts). No kidding. This is the normal rate in our country (for working staff). I do not want to write about politics, economics and all that, but it's true.
So any contribution will be important, no matter how small it was.

I'm still not sure if I need to write this, but I really do not understand the problem.
Do not consider this as an attempt to attract attention, I just try to be more transparent and understand what the problem is, if it is.

@frgn I wish you success.

@frgn

Hey, sorry I can't give you help with GitHub right now. I have been very busy lately and I am also sick...

[PixCub]

Awesome :) If i could i would have donated but i dont have my own paypal yet :/

[Omnija]

@frgn I expected the same with my themes but being unique isn't what people are after. They are more after familiarity and things that just look...normal or common or something that has been done before or something HD.

I enjoy your theme and hope to see future updates.

[frgn]

@pokeengineer
That's all right.
Until the update is still a long time. Maybe, I'll find the time, to learn this and understand, how to upload a theme to the github. But thanks anyway.
@PixCub
Thanks. It's a pity...
@Omnija
Did not quite understand what you mean. I do not know the language well, and sometimes the translator gives something awkward. I really never counted on super success, 1 dollar or simple thanks is better than nothing.
Probably, my theme is not good enough.

[danielmewhouse]

@frgn Hi. This theme is 4:3 compatible or just for 16:9?
