[Request] Theme for small screens (3.5 inch, 4:3)
-
With my Raspiboys arriving any day now, this is very relevant to my interests!
If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

@zigurana With the IO or the GBZ you are on a good way to go ;)
But also the Famicom/NESmini are looking fine (I have a 480x272pixel display = 4,3 inch) even if they are not optimized -
-
@zigurana unrelated. But if it's the link Cyberghost posted I'd be interested in your review of the product, I've been eyeing it for a while and need an excuse to buy it

matrixk,
Thank you for the IO theme! I did not realize it has a small screen option!I did have to edit the small.xml to increase the help menu font size from 0.025 to 0.06 to make it readable. 0.05 would work - but I figured I was already there so I made it easier for me to read.

Zigurana,
I have been running my RaspiBoy for a couple of days and it is a blast!.
I made a suggestion on the 8Bcraft forum to fill the L&R buttons flush with hot glue before assembly. (I actually used Sugru!) This will make it easier to assemble enhance functionality with the L&R silicone pads. -
@thex No worries mate, glad you like it. I don't have any small screens to test it on, so I was just guessing at the numbers. I'll change it in the repo when I get the chance.

@herb_fargus I'm sure that the links I posted is the right one ;) As I saw it first I thought ... what a ugly grey block! But after a few seconds of thinking about it's a really neat device. The assembly is super easy without soldering and all the electronic parts are on one main PCB. The connection to the Pi0 is made by springs ... Really a good project.
The only thing I doubt is the multi player ability as presented in the video as the two guys are sitting in the train! But I think it makes sense if you can still use the HDMI port and use the device just as "USB/BT Hub" for your controllers.
The price seems to be fair.... So you see what can be done if you are the master behind a housing design ;)
@mattrixk Well, the IO looks blasting good on FullHD and much smaller screens ;) I prefer intuitive and fast themes (one exception is RetroRama - this one is so lovely made!)
Feel free to add this to your github repo ;) You see I have a bookshelf in my flat!

@cyperghost i run video snaps without no issues on a pizero

@twd It's not only the speed ... I prefer clearness an easy to use themes. I don't use scraper just the pure ROM name ...
-
@cyperghost if your using 4:3 videos and screen maybe you could have the whole background as a video and use title logos for your text, it's a option I suppose for a bit of bling. But if your happy carry on I used the default setup no art just text until a few weeks ago i like simplicity too.

@herb_fargus yep, that is the one! Still in transit, so no experience yet. I will do a review once I get a chance!
