@mrharias well, looks like you have everything covered:)

@mrharias to add it is easy. I wrote instructions on my PlayStation theme thread.

mrharias

never mind it looks like it was added 12 hours ago I was just a bit consumed because I don't think I did the process right but I guess he was nice to add it anyways. I just don't see in the es themes menu lol

pjft

@jdrassa and @Zigurana : I think you may want to take a look at this theme. It's probably the first fully fledged vertical carousel theme I installed, and I think it shows some things we may need to fine tune on ES to fully support it.

I've tested it on 2.4.1 (I don't think we have had any significant changes as far as theming goes since), and it seems some view backgrounds are rendered on top of others, or the wrong view backgrounds being shown in particular gamelists vs system views. It's especially noticeable when scrolling between gamelists with left and right.

Thought you'd like the heads up - I'm happy to send over a video if you can't spot anything upfront.

Thanks, and have a great week!

jdrassa

@pjft I will take a look at it. It sounds like the issue report here. I am hoping to get to that soon.

pjft

@jdrassa oh, now I remember us discussing it.

It might certainly be related.

Let me know if there's anything I can do here.

Thanks!

I installed this theme today and I absolutely love it. However, I can't use it, because it is not compatible with some of my systems. The most important one for me that is missing is the TI-99. I hope you are able to add that emulator soon so that I can use your theme full time.

nice with 480p
only with 240p snaps is to big

the cabinet is in mirror (dont no the english words)

KevinsHope

I wish there was a way to contact the creator for this theme.

pjft

@kevinshope You mean the original poster? I'm sure they get a notification when someone replies here.

mrharias

Sorry guys just got back from vacations and didn't get any notification from here. you can find me on theme hub, hyperpie, or retromaniaus Facebook group. if you search for the theme on youtube you you will find my channel also.

mrharias

@kevinshope look for me on youtube mrharias, ill see if I add the system you requested

mrharias

@pjft yes it happens here and there not all the time though, changing vram to 110 fix the some of the issues mentioned above. hopefully you guys can figure it out its a bit annoying lol

pjft

@mrharias Thanks.

Yes, @jdrassa is on it and has quite elegantly addressed it, it seems. It's still being developed.

Still, one thing that you could do for your own theme's benefit is to downscale all 1080p background images to 720p. The Pi is not an extremely powerful device, and with such large textures and the number of systems I have, plus videos and artwork, I always end up running into memory issues with this theme.

Just a thought for you to consider. From what I hear from other theme makers, 720p resources is indeed the sweet spot for the Pi.

The alternative would be for people to explicitly change their memory split in /boot/config.txt , but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it just for the ability to use the theme, as you're reducing the available memory for emulators and such.

Just a thought.

pjft

@mrharias the fix from @jdrassa should be in the latest source code since yesterday, so if you update from source you can test that out.

That being said, I'd strongly suggest reducing image sizes to 720p for good performance.

Best.

mrharias

@pjft Thanks, I haven't been able to update from source it keep saying emulation station wasn't found after a long run. My img are already compressed but like you said at 1080 I tried a program and the img were triple the size and bad quality, I just need to figure out how reduce it to 720 without losing quality, increasing size.

Sensei

I absolutely love the theme. Best look and feel for my tastes. Hoping that you can add appropriate menu selection for the other remaining supported emulator systems (as noted on the retropie wiki and the others in the experimental list in RetroPie-Setup. Awesome job so far!

mrharias

@sensei thanks, let me know what system you looking for and I can probably add it, I added ti99 as requested.
