Theme 'ComicBook' v2.6 - 06-13-2017 by TMNTturtlguy Controller.svg from "carbon" Eric Hettervik (Rookervik) RYOKAI.DEVIANTART.COM Theme Concept based on images posted by: lipebello on Retropie.org.uk/forum For use with EmulationStation (http://www.emulationstation.org/)
Special thanks to all who helped:
This theme is designed for 16:9 aspect ratio only. It will work on small screens and is tested to work on up to 55" 4K HDTV with excelent quality -it was noticed on some TV (LG HDTV) that the raspberry Pi picture is zoomed when the TV is set to 16:9. Change the TV ratio to "list". All other Tv's work 16:9 -To be sure the theme is displayed correctly, there should be a gray border around all sides of the theme.
Thanks to new optimization and ES updates by @pjft there are no issues with performance. VRAM should be set to 100.
See UserModInstruct.txt for instructions on available user modifications.
v2 is designed on EmulationStation with maxSize for video and carasoul updates. It also works on the udpated Screensaver OMX build by @pjft on Apr2017
-Video and images will work properly on both VLC and OMX players.
-If running on an older of ES without maxSize. Edit line 78 of comic_book.xml to
Game Hacks Sytem views Available:
Capcom Systems Available (copy your arcade system from es_systems.cfg)
Custom Systems Available
Example for es_systems.cfg - copied gba and modified
The theme is designed for use with video preview.
-The detail (Video View) will play the preview video "md_video" in the large black box.
-Scraped art "md_image" wil be displayed in the bottom gray box to the right of the video.
-If you have at least 1 video, the scraped art "md_image" will appear in both the Large Black box and the small gray box for all games that are missing videos.
The theme is optimized for 2D Box Art and Screenshots - 3D boxart will work, however it may not fill the designated area.
