[ES Theme] Nostalgia Pure
-
Hi Everyone,
Here is my new theme for the EmulationStation frontend (Retropie / Recalbox / PC & more).
90 systems included !The design is based on Nostalgia Video Set : https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/219-nostalgia-169-video-set/
Some logos used in this theme are created or were taken from Chicuelo Theme (www.chicuelo.com.ar)This theme only works on a special version of EmulationStation, downloadable here: https://github.com/fabricecaruso/batocera-emulationstation
Thanks to @GeekOB who made a "lite" version (still system images instead of videos) of this theme and compatible with others EmulationStation versions ;)
Please let me know what you think ;)

This theme is very heavy (2 gb), be aware ;)
-
Due to its weight, the theme is well optimized for PC, but it seems more complicated for RPI (too laggy), I have not yet been able to test it on Pi3 or Pi4.

Thank you for checking this out and looking forward to your feedback !
-
Very clean!

does this work for windows version of ES? if so why is mine doing this?
-
@argnara What version of EmulationStation are you using ?
-
@mitu the Continuous build from https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases
as it was the latest i could find
v2.10.0RP-DEV
-
Looks amazing @Frakatchoo, I wanted to try it on my Pi4. Unfortunately I get the same results as @argnara with several lines of
emulationstation unknown property type "path" (for element of type video)
I'm on RetroPie 4.6.7 using latest ES v2.9.3RP. Maybe it will be supported on a future version for RetroPie? -
@GeekOB His last theme was for the same version i'm using, that's whats even more confusing lol
-
This is beautiful! Nicely done
-
I'm wondering if I missed something for making this work on the RPi4, can you assist @mitu?
Thank you, -

I intended to give it a try, but after looking at the size of the theme, I gave up. If the theme uses something that's specific to other EmulationStation forks (Recalbox/Batocera), then it won't work with the RetroPie version.
-
Thank you for your input @mitu. Yes, the theme is quite heavy as all the system screens are actually 1080p mp4 files (around 1 min long each). I tried running it on windows using the same version as @argnara, but I get the same generic theme-less ES view.
I'm actually not sure if the fullscreen video is the deal-breaker here or maybe video is not supported on "main" system selection screen.
@Frakatchoo what ES version are you using in windows? -
As far as I know, videos in system view are not supported by the RetroPie EmulationStation fork. On Windows, you may try @f-caruso's fork (https://github.com/fabricecaruso/EmulationStation) and see if it works.
-
Hi guys !
Here's the EmulationStation version i'm using, and yes like @mitu said, it's a fork of EmulationStation by Fabrice Caruso.
As I know, my theme can run on some recent Retropie configs, but it's a bit laggy on RPI, I recommend using it on Windows (with an updated ES). -

Have you actually tested it on RetroPie or did you use something like Batocera or Recalbox ?
-
Is there a way to use system images instead of videos on the systems view?
-
@mitu I'm using a portable version of EmulationStation (like Retrobat).
I don't have tested yet on RPI OS (Recalbox, Retropie, ...) but I've already have some feedbacks and it's a bit laggy on RPI. A solution is to convert all HD videos to 720p ;) -
@HurricaneFan Yes, you have to edit the theme.xml.
I think you just have too delete this tag entry :<video name="md_video" extra="true"> <path>./_assets/backgrounds/${system.theme}.mp4</path> <tile>false</tile> <color>FFFFFFFF</color> <origin>0 0</origin> <pos>0 0</pos> <size>1 1</size> <maxSize>1 1</maxSize> <delay>0</delay> <showSnapshotNoVideo>true</showSnapshotNoVideo> <showSnapshotDelay>true</showSnapshotDelay> </video>
And change the background image to a dynamique background :
Search for :
<path>./_assets/system-global-bg.png</path>
And change it to :
<path>./_assets/backgrounds/${system.theme}.png</path>
Of course, you have to add background images in the right folder ;)

RetroBat uses @f-caruso's EmulationStation fork, which is different than the fork used in RetroPie.

I think your theme is not compatible with RetroPie's EmulationStation fork and will not work in RetroPie as is.
-
@mitu As I know, the theme is compatible with RPI, but I don't know if it's on Retropie or Recalbox, the EmulationStation fork have to be compatible with videos on systems view, that's right.
