      @tronkyfran the only one missing is the Turbographix 16, this bugs me because all my wallpaper for my theme are yours and the pc engine too :P

        @tronkyfran Hi there, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the tronkyFran theme.

        I have created some of the missing systems background art, not sure if it's of high enough quality.

        Here you go:

              Just tried the Trunykfran theme for the first time and while the background images are superbly done, I run into an issue where sometimes systems have just white instead of the beautiful background image. What's the cause of that?

                @Muddyhardcore the cause is there is no system done for then yet. Do you have examples of which ones are white?

                  It's never the same system. As I'm scrolling through the systems some will just turn white. I restart emulationstation and they come back. I keep scrolling and 2 or 3 in a row will turn white. Odd issue.

                          You do mean just update the retropie setup script correct?

                              Ok I figured it out. It was in core packages in the retropie setup script. Been stuck on 89% for about 3 hours now.

                                @Muddyhardcore you need to exit emulationstation before you build from source

                                  I didn't do that. I went into the setup script from emulation station. What do I do now?

                                      Ok I was able to update Emulation Station and the problem with the backgrounds turning white is still there. It's random. No specific system.

                                            @Muddyhardcore Go into raspi-config/advanced options/memory split.
                                            Put 762, that should work.
