RVGM (Retro/Retropie Video Game Museum) Theme in development

@used2berx Just copy it in /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes as the pi user and don't worry about root. If the themes folder doesn't exist, create it first.

@mitu Sweet man. Thanks. :)

@darknior Now I'll finally be able to try out that Dark Steel skin that Gilles gave me about a year ago too. Did you guys abandon that one?

darknior

@used2berx Nooooo it's our official theme, i will finish it.
I already made a light version that working better.

But for now i work on many other things ... a finished the AMIGA CD32 Media pack and now working on the 1200 ... and some other little one like Neogeo Pocket and Wonderswan that no one has full HD beautiful stuff.
Like ever all of this take me many time and my real new work take me time too ... so hard with only 24h by day :(

@darknior You're preaching to the choir there man. :)

I can't believe I've been working on the NES 2.0 set for over 9 months now!!!!

Any chance you could shoot me the "lite" version of Dark Steel at the other place for me to try out? I actually never gave the original one a look and wouldn't mind seeing the updated one when I install your other skin sometime next week.

BTW... have you tried the "Comic" and the "NES Classic" skins that you can get from the repo? Having not actually seen either of yours in action yet, those two are my current favorites. :)

darknior

@used2berx Yes no problem i will release it in a few time ;)

Thanks man, it's really awesome!

@darknior

Bummer....

I don't think your two skins will work on a Pi Zero. Either that, or they're not installing correctly from FTP. The version of Dark-Steel I have is from about a year ago. The RVGM is the latest one you had on the site. Neither of them display artwork correctly, and there are no background graphics for RVGM and the background keeps disappearing in Dark-Steel when I try these on a Pi Zero. :(

Guess I'll have to wait till I can get a Pi 3.

Sorry i always forgot you're on PI Zero :(
Yes i think my skin in Light version works fine only on PI3 or more with 1Go or RAM ...
It is an ES problem and i can't fix it myself :(

@darknior No worries man. Not your fault I'm poor. :)

One of these days I'll get one. My brother's lady friend is really interested in a Pi that will play PSX games. I told him I could set one up for her, but I'd need a Pi 3 to do any work with that. He tells me she's going to buy me one for setting one up for her. I'm hoping that eventually pans out.

Thanks for verifying that for me though. I assumed it was a Pi Zero issue, but wanted to make sure I didn't just screw something up.

@darknior
another possibilty for you to look into is making a pegasus-fe version of this skin to get round memory issues as i beleave its got memory management built in as far as i know granted the frontend is still in development and youd have to work via qml its still pretty nifty form what ive tested in it

that being said great work so far

Thanks, yes i have think to it from many month, but i don't know QML, it is more complicated than XML and on Pegasus all element is an object ... it will take me time i think ... maybe later.
