New Comic Book Theme!
-
@backstander hey, i made him a mega man retropie splashscreen pic. So this just completes the collection.
-
@TMNTturtlguy any of the ones like mega man and ninja turtles i will definitely use. Super mario and zelda would be cool too. Probably the 4 best series out there. Well final fantasy was cool too. It is a never ending rabbit hole....
-
@edmaul69 yeah I could do systems forever! I tried to do a few big ones that have a fair amount to games across several systems, MARIO is the only single "brand" specific theme but there are so many games he is in including Atari and arcade games. I like the Zelda idea, but not this release as I have to draw the line somewhere!
-
@TMNTturtlguy yeah mario is actually a pretty large set. Not counting donkey kongs, there is a massive collection on tons of systems. The arcades alone had 5 games.
-
I'll probably never use it, but somebody might like a Square (Squaresoft, etc) set too, for games like Final Fantasy, and the dozens of other great Square games..
You could theoretically also do one for say Capcom, that would have Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, tons of fighting games, etc.
But I agree.. draw the line somewhere. :)
Who's Scruffy Looking?

@hansolo77 ther are already 4 capcom systems available. Capcom as well as cps1, cps2, and cps3

@hansolo77 squaresoft is a good one. There is a wonderful huge collection of squaresoft games. I wish i still had the drive to lose myself for hours in a game like i used to. Rpg's require a great deal of devotion.

Wow, This theme is so awesome! Would be really cool if we could get support for "System videos". I could easily help make a few with your awesome graphics. Just to show what I mean with System Videos here is a Mega Man collection video I made for HyperPie (Attract Mode):
-
@calle81 I put that request in for the amazing crew of code guys that are working hard on ES right now. It is on their Radar so we will see if and when it might get implemented. I think it might be a pretty big task and they are working on some other really cool ideas right now. Very cool video! Nice work
-
When will the theme come out?@TMNTturtlguy
-
@CodeDrawer The theme is already available through the them downloader on the retropie menu. The update will come in the next week or so, i was hoping this weekend, but we will see. I want to complete both the 4:3 and the 16:9 and release them at the same time.
-
@TMNTturtlguy Keep up the good work I'll get it later in the day.

Can anyone share the Favorites.svg system logo i have seen floating around in screen shots with me? i would like to use it as the secondary system logo in the theme, but i can't find it anywhere. Thank you

@screech Hey, have you noticed with your theme that if you are looking at a game list that doesn't have videos, and just a screenshot, your theme doesn't display it? Nintendo FDS is a good example I'm speaking about. I have a good scrape, but there are only about 15 or so videos, and the rest are all images. None of the images are displaying. For instance... the first game in the list "Adian no Tsue (Japan)" has a scraped screenshot. No box art and no video. So all I see is a black box where the video usually goes, and a gray box where the other art (box) would be. I remember you saying something about the themes not being able to support 2 images at the same time. But it should be displaying something if something exists right? Furthermore, if I go to the end of the FDS list, I have "Zelda no Densetsu - The Hyrule Fantasy (Japan) (Rev 1)". This game also doesn't have a video, but the image it scraped is the box art. When I look at THAT game, I see the box art in both locations (the video panel and the extra panel under the "rip" image). So is this skin still kinda buggy, do I need to rescrape again, or is there something else missing? I'm using the "Automatic" Gamelist View Style.
EDIT - Changed the view style to BASIC, and NOTHING shows... changed to Detailed, and I get the games that have boxarts displaying in the "video" panel. But ONLY the images that are boxart. The screenshots aren't showing. When I change it to VIDEO view style, I get the same results as if I were in AUTOMATIC. Is it possible it's not displaying the screenshots because they're not in the correct resolution or aspect ratio?

@hansolo77 First off, @screech runs the universal XML scraper, I created the theme so i am not sure who you are directing which questions at.
Next, Emulationstation can only support one meta data "image" per view. It must be <image> in your gamelist. You can also have 1 "marquee" and that will only work in video view.
All the systems in the theme have the same xml setup so i am not sure what the issue would be with just FDS except for how you have scraped it, and how your gamelist is written. Could you post one rom from the gamelist that is not working as you think it should?
Video view and automatic view: For the 15 roms you have videos for you should have videos in the large black box. If you have an image in the <image> line of your gamelist, that image will show in the small gray box. No other images will show up no matter what you have scraped.
For all other roms that don't have vidoes, the same image should show twice, in the large black box and in the small grey box.
Detailed View: the image you have in your gamelist line <image> should show in the large black box. Nothing should shown in the bottom gray box, this will be changed in the next updated.
Basic Viewno images should show in this view.
As for your edit comment - i need to see your gamelist. I am assuming that the boxart is in the <image> line and the screen shot is either not in the list, or is possibly under a different name such as <thumbnail> which is currently not supported by Emulationstation.
