@HurricaneFan if i look at the gamelist.xml file in the roms folders. i have this
<image>./boxart/2005 Minigame Multicart (USA) (Unl).png</image>
<marquee>./wheel/2005 Minigame Multicart (USA) (Unl).png</marquee>
<video>./snap/2005 Minigame Multicart (USA) (Unl).mp4</video>

</game>my artwork is saved in the boxart folder but when using the CRT theme they are stretched out and not the correct size.
-
@adon767 Ok, from what I see in the CRT theme.xml file, the md_image uses MaxSize. So it should keep the right aspect ratio of your images. That's weird that it doesn't.
-
@HurricaneFan The values for the Max size should those be changed right now they are set at 0.25 and 0.33
-
I'm having the same problem with this theme. The md_image is using MaxSize, but it's not keeping my box art aspect ratio.
-
As far I know, that's a bug with the latest build of ES and would be fixed soon. (I'm not totally sure).
Nothing to do with the theme.
-
@Nismo that's my understanding as well. I'll double check on an older version of ES to confirm in the next few days just in case.
-
@adon767 and @cloudlink I did some digging and it looks like this thread may cover what you are seeing:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9261/bug-box-art-displaying-incorrect-size-the-first-time-i-enter-a-systemLooks like the fix has been submitted to the RetroPie repo here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/commit/c41e0bbbeb1d54c7af5d79128da709816f990a15If that matches up to what you are seeing it looks like a fix is ready to go - not sure when it will be in the latest build but could be soon.
Please let me know if that doesn't help.

@alphatoanant Yeah I got the same problem. Just waiting for the update now I guess.
-
Outstanding. Do you mind if i showcase this theme and share it in some other groups?
-
I have followed the instructions and transfered the folder "es-theme-crt-master" to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes but when i shall change theme there is nothing there? Im on Retropie 4.2!

What im doing wrong?Put the unzipped theme folder that you download into /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes.
Create the 'themes' folder if it isn't already there.

ofcourse, here is my path !

@retronerd
Does mini master show up? Try renaming the theme folder To just CRT -
@retronerd is there another folder called "crt" within the folder?
-
Also, triple check that the them folder isn't accidentally empty.
-
@retronerd the folder you copied it to isn't the one you're being told to.
You seem to have copied it to /opt/RetroPie/configs/...
And it's being suggested to copy it to
/home/pi/.emulationstation/themes
Different folder.
If not,
/etc/emulationstation/themes
May also work.

That was the first thing I told him. He insisted it was in the correct place as you and I stated.

I don't have rpi, but i'm 95% sure it's /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes
