Nostalgic-Neo

Just wanted to push this themes a little further.

es-theme-nostalgic

"Nostalgic" theme for Retropie EmulationStation by SuperMagicom.

I have always admired the "Nostalgia" platform videos made by Viking for Launchbox and wished they could be used on Retropie. Since EmulationStation does not support platform videos, I decided to try creating a theme using static images of them.

All credit for the visual aesthetic goes to Viking. My contribution is the code to display the images as an ES theme and align the video snaps for each system individually. It was a lot of work but I am pleased with the results and I hope you will be too!

The following 79 system folders are currently supported...

More systems may be added in the future.

Marquee graphics are supported for arcade-based systems if they are present in your gamelist.xml file.

Installation

Install by copying the unarchived "nostalgic-neo" folder and all of the contents to

/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes

If this folder does not exist you may create it.

IMPORTANT: I recommend keeping EmulationStation's VRAM setting at 80. This theme uses 1080p images for each system and the WSOD (White Screen of Death) fix seems to only work correctly when VRAM is at 80.
