Looks really nice.

Nismo,
Just wanted to say thank you for this amazing theme. I've been using Launchbox and Hyperspin and never been happy with the stability of either. Loved RetroPie but it naturally wasn't as pretty. This theme makes it on par with them along with the videos and now it doesn't randomly screw up when I enter or exit games!
One quick question, do you have the themes without the generic blank boxes in the background? I only ask as I've tweaked the sizes and positions on some of your themes but that means the blank boxes show up behind it still. I'd love to not have those back there if at all possible.
Keep up the great work!

@Hubz Where did you place the boxes? I can upload some of them but I need to spend one evening to do that enabling and disabling layers, posters and so... and of course without optimizing filesize...
-
@Nismo Usually not far from the initial spot, mainly moved them around since I wanted to make the boxes a bit bigger on my setup. On some Super Famicom boxes I had they are vertical as opposed to horizontal, so the blank horizontal box sticks out.
-
@Hubz That's because you need to wait for SNES media to be uploaded...
-
@Hubz Try downloading super famicom or snes boxart from https://screenscraper.fr/ these should fit like a charm. I think this is also the media source Nismo is using for his media collection. But keep in mind, that screenscraper does not have a complete boxart collection for most systems. This is why Nismo is creating new arwork for many many games, to achieve a complete media collection.
-
@donkeykong Its kinda confusing to use because it's in french, so any alternatives?
-
Will this theme be on GitHub in the future?
-
@itsnitro The alternative it's to wait for my next upload.
@robertybob I hope so.
-
@Nismo Great! I'm planning to finally get around to giving my theme Video support; is there somewhere with an easy guide to make a theme Video-compatible? It seems that https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Creating-Your-Own-EmulationStation-Theme hasn't been updated with this information yet.
-
@robertybob Most of the info it's here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5823/looking-for-testers-for-es-video-preview-on-raspberry-pi
And remember, any "extra" tagged images will be displayed on top of the video so get ride of background "extra" tag.
If you need help simply point me to your github project so I can download it and test, or upload your theme to some downloading server.
-
@Nismo Thank you very much :) Is there a Windows build available which has the video stuff built-in?
-
@robertybob Here it is: https://github.com/fieldofcows/EmulationStation/releases/tag/v0.1-beta.7
But this build doesn't have support for subfolders inside roms folder, and maxSize on videos, so keep that in mind.
Regards.

Hope this is added to the Pi ES theme section soon because I'm not sure how to install it lol
