Love this theme, one of my favorites. I am having an issue I hadn't found a solution to yet. Originally I had been using this in Recalbox, as well Retropie, (a few updates ago). Having come back to retropie and fresh install this theme was the first to install from source. The framerate, no matter what vram is set to, on a clean install seems to be...kind of frameskipping. It no longer moves smoothly between consoles, but now stutters a little. None of the other themes exhibit this behavior. Im not a big fan of instant transitions and miss how smooth it seemed to run previously. Anyone else see this? Pi3 is overclocked to 3.5 but was same problem before the OC. Thanks again.

@TMNTturtlguy do you have a contact? I have a quick question for you regarding theme dev.

@holy2tack WOW - nice work on all of the theme content! I have been away for a few months and not had a chance to even come look at the forum, but nice work on creating all of this! I like it

@dra6n Sorry, i have not been able to spend much time on hobbies lately. I have not been able to get onto the forum in some time. What is your question?

TMNTturtlguy

@retroprogrammer sorry for the late reply. I have been absent for a few months. I am sure by now that you have probably found a solution for your artwork. I have in the past created custom artwork for some friends of mine. If you still need some help please reach out to me and let me know and we can discuss further.

Hey @TMNTturtlguy,
Good to see you, hope you're doing okay.

TMNTturtlguy

@ruckage all is well! Life has been very busy with work and kids, but we are doing extremely well. Just not enough time for my hobbies anymore. How have you been? hope you are doing well.

@tmntturtlguy do you happen to have a "blank" of the image of the characters popping out? I have been using these with my theme but I wanted to add more but I need the blank :D

I have created a new custom collection and i have named it FIFA Collection. Inside the theme the letters of that are only black. How can i change the font to have it as the categories of every system?

TheRiceKing

I appreciate your hard work. The only thing I don't like is the hard to read fonts. That's the only deal breaker for me. The rest looks great. Some people might like it as it is but this one is just not for me.

Hi Guys, in recalbox i have these folders amiga600 amiga1200 Daphne and TO-(, there is something for these systems?

tks a lot.

@gothrek Daphne is supported by this theme, as you can see in this update post.

If your Daphne directory is really upper case, you may have to rename it to lower case, since unlike Windows file systems, Linux file systems are case sensitive (Daphne and daphne are different directories).

Hi all, Firstly thanks for an amazing theme. I have just built a Retropie setup and recently got Metal Slug 1-5 working perfectly, we spent 3years plugging quids in to the console which was at our college with a mate.

I wondered if i could request a launch image and text logo with background for Metal Slug Collection? i couldn't find one in the posts or Github locations. Hopefully this will help others as Metal Slug is always one of the most downloaded Rom's on various sites.

Most appreciated for your time so far and i understand if you already have a million requests.

What font is used in the systems images ??

ShakaPow... if you look the skin folder, the font is included so you can create your own additions.

I'm new to retropie and am now running on an Odroid Xu4. It is wonderful and this theme is awesome. The only systems I'm missing are Atomiswave and Naomi (these systems are running great on lr-reicast). Has anyone created these systems for this theme? Thank you

herbi444

hi ya, was just wondering if the sharp x68000 could be added also if you get around to it, thanks for the great theme :)

hansolo77

The creator as moved on and said he will not be creating more system themes. This is mostly pointed at @movd and @herbi444 in case they didn't know. HOWEVER, If you have some skill in Photoshop or similar software, creating your own system theme is really not that hard. I've done it on a few systems myself and they turned out just as good. That being said, I do have a request for @TMNTturtlguy .. would you be willing to provide me the transparent "slime" image you used for the hacks as well as the hacks overlay image you put over top of the system names? You neglected to include some systems that have hacks and I need those images to create a perfect match. I can make my own, but it won't look right if they're not exactly like yours. That'd be great if you can!

@hansolo77, Let me preface this with I have never used photoshop, I have no graphic editing skills and I did this in paint.net. I attempted to made an atomiswave menu image. It is good enough for me, but not nearly as good as the officially created ones. Anyway, I figured I should share it if anyone is interested.
