Oldroom theme W.I.P. new 1.9 Beta + media packs
-
@Nismo @donkeykong Do either of you have marquees for Gameboy games (Race Days or Word Zap) that aren't cartridge images? I have boxart if you need to see what it looks like.
-
@HurricaneFan I have 569 wheels for gameboy not uploaded yet.
I think it's better to read the missing.txt in the packs and see what's missing, but the missing text it's only for 3d boxes.
When I have time I will upload missing marquees text too.
No, I don't have markees for these games HurricaneFan.
-
@Nismo I added Sega Game Gear marquees if you want to grab those.
-
@HurricaneFan Thank you very much, I like the interst of this community to help.
This project is becoming a team work, and not just mine. I like it.
-
@Nismo Let me know what other stuff your missing and I can try to fill in your gaps.
-
@HurricaneFan Like I said before, I'm working in the theme right now, but when I resume my work making 3d boxes or marquees, I'll ask here if I don't find something. Thanks for the help.
-
@HurricaneFan I have an idea, I can upload or write here a list for marquees (wheel art) missed for one system, since there are a lot of systems with the same game, it's not so difficult to find the missing ones in other systems just doing a search for the name inside your ES folder.
That was my plan for missing marquees before making them by myself, but I don't have time right now, so people can help that way while I can spend more time on missed 3d boxes or the theme.
It only takes to me a minute to prepare one list of missing marquees for a system.
What do you think?
-
@HurricaneFan I do have both requested 3d boxart images. Will upload them to my google drive in a bit
-
@donkeykong Thanks, it doesn't matter if its in 3d or 2d, because i have to make it look the same than in the pack.
-
@donkeykong I was actually looking for the marquee image of both of those, not the actual box image.
-
@Nismo I am aiming to use it after you complete your magnific work, I am an end user so sadly I can not help you with this amazing theme in a high level, but I can help you in minor stuff; if you need help count with me
-
How is your theme coming along? Any chance to see an update today? Need help with something?
-
@Nismo if I can help call me too
-
@donkeykong Unfortunately, these days I have had some unexpected problems in my personal life, and the theme has been delayed longer than expected.
I hope to upload something today even if it is incomplete.
-
It's not finished but here you have.: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wp33pa361gj9bwx/Oldroom_1.9_Beta_1080_%26_720.zip
This is what I have.

Does anyone else has problems downloading image folders? It's super slow and always fails after 99% completion... In particular the gamegear and megadrive image folder. Tried it on different machines, at work and home, same issue. Maybe you reached the limit of your monthly mega.nz free account traffic.
EDIT: I fixed it by downloading the official mega firefox addon, weird eh? -
@donkeykong I don't know where are you downloading the files, but I didn't upload any megadrive folder for the theme yet.

Thanks for linking this progressive thread for me to follow... Can I ask a quick newb question? Does this completely remove the need for me to scrape? It looks like you're doing all the work and all I would have to do is download the bits for my particular setup and install it to match the same folder structure. Is this correct? How do you plan to accomodate people who are using GoodName sets instead of NoIntro? I'm using NoIntro, but my roms are somewhat modified from that because I built a fresh set in ClrMAMEpro to remove any duplicates. So now I just have 1 game 1 rom type setup, and things that are only available outside of USA are selected in priority from Europe, Austrailia, Japan, etc, in an attempt to get everything in English. I also have a few modified roms that have been translated, or hacked to provide alternate games (like the new Metroid Rogue Dawn game).
I guess what I'm getting at, is if the need to scrape is gone, how does somebody ADD missing artwork and metadata?
-
no idea if this has already been mentioned but I cant be bothered to read through all the comments. On the dreamcast image, you show box art for a megaman game. There was no offical megaman game on the dreamcast (sorry if im being picky). Really like the theme tho, Im guessing it can only have 10 systems before you get the white screen of death?
-
@trixta You won't have that problem if you "update from source" the latest version of Emulation Station. @fieldofcows had been working on a fix that I can now confirm (at least on my system) that it's working beautifully. I have 31 systems installed right now!
