New Comic Book Theme!
-
@tmntturtlguy I think you may be right, dude. Either a corrupt RetroPie image, corrupt game image, or corrupt gamelist.xml files. I downloaded the theme yesterday morning through Emulation Station's theme menu. I'll start fresh and see if the problem persists. Thanks for your help.
gamelist basic --> works perfectly.
system view --> works perfectly.
detailed view --> crashes.
automatic --> crashes. -
@beastmode keep me posted
-
@tmntturtlguy Will do.

I know reducing VRAM to 80 solved my issues with the freezes. I wonder if it would be a prudent idea to maybe have ES just automatically use 80??
Who's Scruffy Looking?
-
@hansolo77 no, that would not be useful. I am running my setup at 100 with no issues. It all depends on your personal setup. Please also note that @beastmode problem has nothing to do with vram.
-
@beastmode @hansolo77 I was having this freezing issue on several themes (detailed and video) after updating from 4.2 to 4.2.8, not just comicbook. But after shutting down and rebooting a couple of times (on 4.2.10), the freezing stopped. My VRAM is also set to 80 which stops white screens from occurring due to memory limitations.
-
@tmntturtlguy @gaavoid @pjft I believe I have just found the problem. It wasn't the theme or my .xml files, it was rpie-art on 4.2.10. I used rpie-art to install those awesome launching images of yours which seems to have broken my setup. Installing those same images manually on 4.2.12 seems to work perfectly.
-
@beastmode that is interesting, but I am glad that you have figured it out and everything is working for you! Thanks for the update. In am tagging @meleu as the rpi-art installer is his script, maybe he can look into it.
-
@tmntturtlguy Cool. Excellent work once again, dude. So glad I can use this theme. =)

Try to detail what exactly you mean with "broken my setup" and the steps to reproduce it and post on the rpie-art topic (link on my signature). I'll take a look when I have a chance.
-
I would like to learn more about it as well. I'm not really sure why or how rpie-art would have affected EmulationStation in any way. @meleu what does it change?
If this is a new installation you did, I'm more inclined to consider the option that the previous setup was corrupted in some way, but I'll wait for further investigation.
Thanks for reporting!

Nada. Nothing. Nichts. Rien.
I'm planning to add an option to install custom "scraped images", and it would change the
<image>field in gamelist.xml files. But it's not yet implemented. -
@tmntturtlguy @gaavoid @pjft @meleu It's not rpie-art. My apologies. It appears to be overscan settings in my boot.txt file that is causing this issue for me.
The theme worked flawlessly after I comment out #disable_overscan=1. Once I uncommented this option though, the theme crashed and glitched out at random points. I then had to manually enable overscan through RASPI-CONFIG for the changes made to boot.txt to revert back.
I'm not quite sure how to permanently solve this. Any suggestions?
-
@beastmode I'd recommend starting a separate thread, commenting us in, and while you're at it send over the content of your boot.txt file via pasteBin, as well as letting us know exactly what problems you were having that led you to edit the overscan settings.
Note that here we're now dealing with a bit of a black box :)
-
@pjft I'll do that shortly when I'm back home. =)
-
@tmntturtlguy @gaavoid @pjft I permanently solved the issue. It was definitely connected to changing overscan settings manually in the boot.txt file that I mentioned in my previous post.
Fixed by: Changing the overscan options in RASPI-CONFIG while leaving the overscan option in the boot.txt file untouched.

just finished copying across the new launch screens they are amazing. It really compliments the theme! I have 1 thing i would like to add.. I use Motion blue V5 on my raspberry pi and also TEAM ZT img as well.. They have added all the WHDLOAD amiga games which break down in 2 sections Amiga ( which u have a logo for ) and AmigaCD32 which there is no logo.. I was wondering if you could add the folder and Logo for AmigaCD32, it is becoming very common now in amiga and retropie emulation so i think it deserves its own logo... And it also ruins my amazing comic book theme layout with the normal logo and not your proper logo :) Please please :) Thanks again for your hard work and effort you put into this theme, it is my favourtite by far!
-
@serotonin I will make a logo when I get the chance. Can I use the same background as amiga?
-
yeah man for sure! thanks alot!@
-
also i think i missed it before but whats the difference between
comicbook
and
comicbook - SE wheel art?
what does the SE wheel art actually add>?
