[RELEASE] PSX-MINI Theme

[Allanbuzzy]

I wanted this theme because I find it will be successful. Now that I see frgn is trying to fight over the use of Pixel logos, I'm pretty disappointed at the way he treated it. I will still get this theme, as long as it gets sorted out.

[Rookervik]

@ruckage I know you haven't used any assets from my artwork. I respect you immensely. I think some of your pixel logos look WAY better than mine!

Like you said, we didn't create these original logos. They are ACTUAL system logos. We made our pixel art look as close as possible. OBVIOUSLY they will look similar. :D

And as an artist, seeing other people take your artwork and modify it is a little hard to handle. That's why I asked others not to modify mine. Because I didn't just put artwork together from sources, I created every piece from scratch. All 80+ of them. :D

Anyway, don't worry. I love your work. Keep it up!

[ruckage]

@rookervik
Thanks for the response. I also love your work (I was actually thinking some of your logos were better than mine, and your system art is amazing :D) and I would never just copy it. Apart from anything else there is a great deal of satisfaction creating the art yourself. I've still got a fair way to go before I catch up with your 80+ systems in your theme - I beat you to the custom collections at least ;).

I had the similar reasons for not wanting modifications of my themes or people using my art. I wanted the theme in general and particularly my logos/icons/backgrounds to be unique to my themes. Just because we choose to share our work for free (which I'm happy to do, I don't want to just make things to use myself, I like to share them) it doesn't however mean we give up ownership of that work.

@ruckage @mitu
I agree that I have crossed the line a little, and I apologize for everything I wrote above. I actually initially believed that these logos were borrowed from a pixel theme. I should have studied it better and compared them before drawing conclusions. @ruckage , I'm an asshole, excuse me.
about logos - I decided to draw each anew. the result you can see below.


pixel art requires a lot of time, but the concept is not violated.
and even this is not the final version. I look at them, and it seems to me that i can do even better.
@Thore
request is accepted. the theme is completely ready for work (I have already made different layouts with buttons and two kinds of background, which change in the text file setup.xml). now she just does not have enough variety of systems. as soon as I finish these icons, I will be able to release beta.

and by the way. does anyone here know how to add a theme to the retropie theme manager? so that it is available for download from the emulation station shell.

@frgn Looks really great and i can't wait to use it (even though i don't have a psx-pi),.i especially really enjoy how everything really stands out and is labeled in detailed view.

As for this whole copyright thing... i know it's non of my business but you know... if it's release online/github/zipped and open source it will be used.. so whether it's @frgn or some else, i just don't see why the hate and hostility. I just hope everyone can move past this soon.

Just because something is provided for free doesn't make it open source, that would be under a specific license that would allow completely free use. My themes were not released under an open source license.

@frgn The new update looks great. Looking forward to the beta. These would be my wishes for systems: amiga, atari2600, atari7800, atari lynx, dreamcast, final burn alpha, gamegear, gameboy, gameboy advanced, gameboy color, mame, mastersystem, megadrive, n64, nintendo DS, neogeo, neogeo pocket color, nintendo nes, pc, pc-engine, ports, scummvm, sega32x, sega cd, super nintendo snes. And maybe the new nintendos, NES CLASSIC MINI and SNES CLASSIC MINI ;-). Many Thanks for all.

[frgn]

Well, I think the theme is ready.
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 30 gaming systems (not counting retropie).

Full list:

• Amiga
• Arcade
• Atari 2600
• Atari 5200
• Atari 7800
• Atari Lynx
• Dreamcast
• FBA
• Gamegear
• Gameboy
• Gameboy Advance
• Gameboy Color
• MAME
• Sega Master System
• Sega Megadrive
• Nintendo 64
• Nintedo DS
• Neo-Geo
• Neo-Geo Pocket Color
• NES
• PC (DosBox)
• Pc Engine
• Ports
• PSP
• Playstation
• Retropie menu
• Sega 32x
• Sega CD
• SNES
• 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.

@frgn

Very nice, I am already to try it out. Now it would be nice if the Scummvm, NES-Mini and SNES-Mini Systems would come :-) Thank you for the work, i made you a small donation.

[Garisaan]

In the psx-mini XML file, towards the bottom of the page, it lists the menuopen sound file as using the incorrect file name of "lauch.wav" instead of "launch.wav". Easily fixable.

Might be good to know for a future update. :)

[Allanbuzzy]

Wow, this is very interesting. I will probably wait until those guys at RetroPie add it to their Themes section.

Looks quite good man. I hope you and @ruckage are cool now. He helped me with another thing, and I'd hate to see a feud break out between the two of you.

In fact, skummmm is already ready, but I doubted whether it's worth adding it to the list. In the update I will add this icons.

For this, most likely, I need to download the source of the theme to the github. I've never dealt with this before, so I could not add it to my repository. Now the topic is on third-party hosting, but eventually it will appear on the github.

I have nothing against this comrade. at some point there was a misunderstanding, but in the end I asked for forgiveness. that he did not think at my expense - this is his right.

But of course it is worth it ;-) Is there perhaps also an NES mini and SNES mini system?

[greekmanx]

@frgn So I installed this theme and video snaps don't work is that meant to be? also no support for default or custom collections? ie All Games, Last Played, and Favorites, also a custom collections option.

Wondering if those are in the works or if upload has an issue or is it my setup?

Hey, do you want me to give you some help? Nice work on the theme, by the way. ☺

[frgn]

@cybermen
in the near future I will add them. It's not a problem.

@greekmanx
There is currently no support for the video, but I will try to do this for the next update.
everything else - collections, lastplayed and others are written in my to do list.

@PokeEngineer
I would be glad to accept support. all I did not try to do with it was wrong. I installed on my PC (windows) github desktop and git bash.
I tried to follow different instructions - but there are a lot of them. In any video I did not find a simple explanation how to upload your project. Also, everything is complicated by poor knowledge of English and terminology.

[frgn]

Now I have a question for everyone who has already tried the theme.
Is this block displayed correctly?

As you can see, in my case it is slightly shifted.

I noticed a very strange bug (or feature?). For these two elements (players, players_label), I use an identical vertical positioning.

(Sorry, I still did not understand how to insert the code.)

It is logical that with this setting, they should be located on the same horizontal line.

In the ES on a computer this works correctly, but here on a raspberry pi it looks different.

On two different TV it looks differently. Both TVs have the same resolution (1920x1080), but different diagonal and production date. Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

I also noticed that the <origin> for the <text> works fine on the PC. But this function is not recognized on RPi.

Or can such a problem only on my RPi?

Oh lol, I'm idiot!
It cost me to lay out the code, as I immediately noticed there were a few unnecessary properties.
I delete all unnecessary, checked - now everything is displayed correctly.
Link updated. Please check.
