Neo Geo Mini theme

legacy

Yes please, only problem if i switch themes then the images will change size.

Is there a way to use a default set of images for the mini theme and then normal snapshots for a different theme.

Loving the theme.

@legacy Looking good. Thanks for trying it and it's nice to see you're having fun experimenting with adding your own backgrounds. I tried to make the theme as easy as possible to customise.

I'll probably be adding more styles down the line (some very different to the original graphics set) so that finding a colour choice to match a user created background will be easy.

@ruckage thank you for your work. I'm still interested in those icons set or if you can send me a link to the pack on hyperspin. Ive not managed to find them.

I'll upload a new video soon.

@ruckage Thank you for your work, I have been following your works for a few years, I have registered to congratulate and support you.

The theme of neo geo is incredible, I just want to enlarge the images of the covers but the xml is different from other themes, is there any way?

I will be very attentive, also to your project of snes with the selection of games in cartridges.

Forgive my English, I come from Spain.

Hi at @juma
I'll try and help but I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. What do you mean exactly by 'enlarge the images of the covers'. Do you mean enlarging the entire tile or just the picture within the tile. Or do you mean stretching the cover to fill the space in the tile. If you could post a picture showing what you're trying to achieve that would be helpful and I can try to assist you.

@ruckage Hello, you are very kind to answer me.
In my case I play on a 21 "CRT TV, I would like to enlarge the image of the game, I have already been able to" eliminate "the selection frame, but I can not enlarge that image. What should I adjust in the XML line to change that parameter?

I show you a simulation of my idea.

Thanks again, if I can help with something, do not hesitate to tell me, especially at the editing and graphic level.

hey @ruckage this theme only supports carousel right? Which isn't in the main build of Emulationstation yet right?

@juma If you want the selected game image to appear bigger then you need to change the following parameter:

<gridtile name="selected">
	<size>0.1916666666666667 0.5777777777777778</size>
</gridtile>

If you want the others game image to appear bigger then you need to change the following parameter:

<gridtile name="default">
	<size>0.1916666666666667 0.5777777777777778</size>
</gridtile>

@MrJordaaany This theme use the gridview which haven't made it to the stable branch yet, you can still try it out on your Pi by installing emulation-dev package from the "experimental packages" section.

Hello, does this theme use the same format of gamelist like other themes?

I seem to be having issues with mine. I've scraped a load of images but they aren't appearing in your theme. Do I need to add them to another folder for your theme to work?

@ballboff

Hello. Do the scraped images appear in other themes? Are you definitely using a version of ES that supports grid view?

Yes they show up in other themes, yes i've switched it to grid view and the theme loads fine, just no game images are showing...

@ballboff

What version of ES are you using?
Can you post an example of one of your scraped images and is there anywhere you could post your gamelist.xml file so I can take a look?

ballboff

Mmmm I don't think I'm going to get to the bottom of this anytime soon. I don't have any gamelist files and now I don't have any icons in settings screen....

@ballboff Check your available disk space.

You know what, you might have something here. I was having some read/write issues with my themes too.

ballboff

Ok, so I installed a fresh vanilla image and reset everything to default. I think I dicked around with it too much previously. I'm still having the same issue with this theme. I'm using the internal scraper and the images appear in all the other themes, just not this one. Do I need to use a different scraper? Perhaps one that downloads boxart as well as screen grabs?

@ballboff
As I said previously I'm going to need more info. You still haven't told me what version of EmulationStation you're using and I 'd like to see your gamelist.xml and an example of one of the scraped screenshots to rule out any problems with them.
Also what model of raspberry pi are you using?
