@tmntturtlguy I realized you provided the necessary tools in the art folder,I made my own for wrestling,and puzzle but I can't match your font style for the system name,although graffiti fonts come pretty close

TMNTturtlguy

@kdretro looks great! If you look a few posts up, the response to @hansolo77 right above your first post there is a link to the post where I give instructions on how to create the font.

What a great Job on all of this it looks amazing. I have it already setup and am loving it. I just have one question if somebody could help me out. If I setup a collection(e.g. BATMAN) is there a way, that once I put a game into the collection it does not show up in its main folder(e.g. Nintendo folder).

pjft

@ajdshnps there isn't. What you're looking for is probably closer to actually just moving the ROM to a Batman folder, though, and following some of the scripts that @TMNTturtlguy @meleu and @cyperghost where working on at the time.

Thanks @pjft phi figured that I was just curious.

TMNTturtlguy

@ajdshnps yes, @pjft is correct. There are ways documented to do this. I am on my phone so links are that easy. If you are interested let me know. They are advanced scripts and file modification, the current favorites system that @pjft has created is much more user friendly.

I would love that info when you get a moment no rush. Great work by the way. I'm running it on my pi1 it works great. The only thing I don't do is run video snaps on my game selection screens there is too much of a lag. Any chances of making bezels for your theme. @TMNTturtlguy Thanks again

@TMNTturtlguy I'm fairly sure I read that you aren't making any more updates to the ComicBook theme (at least based on requests), but I'm hoping I might make a small request.

Any chance of making system logos for Atari 2600 Hacks and Atari 7800 Hacks (or simply Atari Hacks, if easier)? I would presume this is a relatively simple request, as it should just require adding the Hacks graphic on top of the Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 images, but I fully acknowledge that its only simple if one has graphical skills and abilities... and I have neither!

I think I can otherwise create the collections based on the existing Atari theme templates, but I'm at a loss for getting Atari Hacks to show up correctly.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

@periodiclogic you are correct, and sorry to dissapoint, but I am no longer creating new logos or content. The new features and collections opportunities in emulation station are endless and I had to draw a line somewhere or I would be creating logos and system backgrounds for everyone. I am glad you enjoy the theme and sorry to dissapoint.

Not enough Comic Sans. :P

Looks really good!

Just askin cause I'm nosy.. :) @TMNTturtlguy do you have plans on releasing a new theme or have you hung up your boxing gloves? This was a massive undertaking and a crowing achievement. I'm blown away by it. Will forever be my theme of choice!

TMNTturtlguy

@hansolo77 thanks! I appreciate the kind comments. I have been very busy with work and career advancements as of late and I had to cut back on my all night retropie development. I have a few other theme ideas I have been playing with, but just haven’t had the time. I am still around and checking in on development, but until after the new year I just won’t have time to commit to new ideas and development.

Thanks

@tmntturtlguy glad to hear you're doing well. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future:)

awesome THEME! i love the updates. There are tons of replies and comments on this subject, so I may have missed this, but I changed a couple of things on mine and just thought I'd share them. If anyone wants them, etc.

Is there any way to add collections for Classic Arcade, Platformer and Run and Gun? I love this Theme. It's the only one I can find with collections for Beat'em Ups, Fighters and Shoot'em Ups.

dlesko250

Sorry, i saw above that you no longer are creating collections for this Theme. Totally understandable. It wont let me erase the above post so please ignore :)

TMNTturtlguy

@dlesko250 no problem. Glad you enjoy the theme. Sorry for not continuing to create at this time.

dlesko250

@kdretro Id like to make my own collections for Classic Arcade, Platformer and Run and Gun. Is there somewhere that shows how to do it? Any chance you might be able to run me through how you did yours? :)
