Epic Noir - Dark Mode Theme

[tpo1990]

@chicuelo Sounds great. I will look forward to seeing the changes and the theme live on RetroPie repository.

Maybe some other theme creators have a clue about how to get away with the white screen. Keep up the good work. Thanks. :-)

@tpo1990 Im waiting for my partner to upload the changes, but you could try replacing this on your main theme.xml
unfortunately the white flash that appears when you exit a game has no solution. At least I could not find one yet. Using a black background has the same result because the true ES backgroudn is dark gray and the theme loads over that

Hi Chicuelo (buenas tardes)
I'm new with RetroPie and I just finish to install your theme (is amazing !! congrats !!!)
But I have some questions
I put my roms in a HDD and I follow the rules to name the folders, but I found that no all the systems shows when I browse the interface.
This is my current list, I wonder if I have some wrong here
It's possible to put some personal image or name the system if the system is no cover from the theme itself ? (if its possible can you say how can I do this ??)

List of systems in my storage (I will check the directory permissions)

@iMacosiris Hola Marcos! saludos desde buenos aires tambien! decime cual es el problema que tenes por que si instalas directo deberia andarte, solamente tenes que poner el nombre correcto de las carpetas donde vas a guardar los roms. Escribime a mi mail cualquier cosa!

[tpo1990]

@chicuelo Great success. What you posted has solved the ghosting text problem that Wonderswan and Wonderswan Color had. Now I can start using the theme. Thank you very much.

[tpo1990]

Would it be possible to change the poster for Super Famicom to something other than the Legend of Zelda since it is the same as in Super Nintendo.

I think changing the poster for Super Famicom to something like Super Bomberman SFC would be nice.
One more thing. Is it possible to add Pokemon Mini as a system in your theme?

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Pokemon-Mini

[Clipo]

Amazing theme and thank you for your work. As a request, is it possible to have different arts for Sega32X and Segacd? Saludos y felicitaciones :D

[chicuelo]

@tpo1990 You can manually change the game of super famicom renaming a game you like. I have searched for bobmerman but there are no good arts for it. When i have some time I will work arround on that, but I think zelda series where the best games on both snes and N64

[chicuelo]

@Clipo You can manually rename the files, you can use space harrier on 32x and doom on mega cd, I think those who have one system don´t use the others

[potatoxbe]

Love this theme, probably the most beautiful available for retropie!

Would be great if you can add graphics for CPS I, II, III, Atomiswave and Naomi.

[Jste84]

@chicuelo hi mate - just wondering if you managed to pull anything together for fixing the order of the dots?

[chicuelo]

@potatoxbe Yes, I would upload them soon!

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 Yes, read the post where explains how to match. You have to rename the png files acording to your systems. It´s very easy!

To make the indicator work with your build, you have to rename the png files located in ../art/indicator/.png , acording to your es_system order:
If your first system is mame, you have to rename the png with the first white dot as "mame", if your second system is Neo Geo, you rename the png with the second white dot as "neogeo", and doing so until you achieve your systems with a limit of 16 systems.
In case you dont have a power menu, you can replace this item too. Retropie and favorites are already set.

[Jste84]

@chicuelo thank you 👌

[Jste84]

Now next I'm trying to get the shutdown working.

I've followed a guide but I'm struggling with this

Finally convert shutdown and reboot scripts within "~/Retropie/roms" into executable's by the commands:
a. chmod +x ~/RetroPie/roms/power/ashutdown.sh
b. chmod +x ~/RetroPie/roms/power/reboot.sh

I'm getting permission denied when I try and execute them. So I think I've done something wrong!

Also the dots are fixed apart from power... Which is finding the right icon... But is being selected in alphabetic order... Rather than at the end

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 you need to reorder the power menu from the es_systems in order to be the system number 18 in your file

[Jste84]

@chicuelo still hasn't worked... I taking you mean going into etc/emulation station?

I moved it to after Nes (my 17th system?)

Should I be including systems I don't use.... Like amstrad for example?

[Jste84]

@Jste84 tried this too it's not working... So when I go through the indicators...it jumps from pc engine to power at the bottom them to psp...

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 What I mean is that power indicator is on the 18 position if you count from the first dot. you have to edit the es_systems.cfg to make the power menu appear in that position.

Your es_systems.cfg should have a structure like this: The systems will be displayed on your screen according the position you place the tags

<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 1
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 2
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 3
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 4
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 5
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 6
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 7
</system>

COMPLETE UNTILL YOU REACH 17 SYSTEMS
AND HERE PLACE THE POWER SYSTEM

[Jste84]

@chicuelo that's what I did and still no joy. It's in 18th place in that system list...

But when I scroll in retropie... Its jumping down to the power icon at the bottom of the screen after pc engine... then when I hit down again... It jumps up to the dot below pc engine.. (I think it's psx.)

It was doing that before I moved power from the bottom of es systems and it's still doing it after I moved to 18th position
