About This File
Hi guys. This theme was created based on the glorious theme for Emulation Station called Hypermax.
I have tested it on my 55 inches TV screen and it looks amazing.
Theme runs fast and I did not have performance issues.
The theme has 04 platform/Game views - like shown in the video,
with right and left wheels positions to please everyone.
Features:
* Support for 121 platforms (Platform Clearlogos/Controller/Console images already included);
* Light animations - performance should not be an issue;
* The theme has its own platform logos, some were present on original Hypermax, and others were created by me;
* It also includes an image for each console and each console's controller.
* Platform Videos used/shown in the Youtube theme video can be downloaded here:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/uxxbc2bxu3pbb/Hypermax_Videos
(Access the above link and choose the platform video you wish and download it)
Installation:
* To install/use the theme, just unzip it in the folder Launchbox\Themes and set it in Bigbox.
* Go to Bigbox Menu > Manage Themes > Installed - All > Hypermax Refried > Apply as Main Theme
Changing Views:
* Go to Bigbox Menu (press esc) > Manage Theme Specific Options > Hypermax Refried > Views > and Select your Desired "Platforms List View" and "Games List View" - or
* If you are using a joystick, press down L3 (Left analog stick) to access the Views menu and change the view
(when you press down L3 on platform view you will be able to change "Platforms List View" and when you press Down L3 on Games View, you will be able to change "Games List View")
Tips:
* Set Bigbox to skip game details for more similarity to Emulationstation:
* Go To Bigbox Menu > Options > General > Skip Games Detail Screen
Extra Tips:
* Each platform has a character PNG/wallpaper background JPG that can be changed/included by the one you wish.
Just replace the png/jpg in MEDIA/Character and MEDIA/Background Wallpaper folders, for the ones you want following
your platform name.
Paths:
Character: LaunchBox\Themes\Hypermax Refried\Media\Characters
Background Wallpaper: LaunchBox\Themes\Hypermax Refried\Media\Background Wallpaper
CTC Files:
* I'm releasing the CTC files up with the update 2.1 so you can use Community Theme Creator and edit the theme
and make the changes you want or even create a whole new theme.
* To use CTC Files, Just unzip the file to the folder "My Theme Projects" in your Community Theme Creator install directory.
* Open CTC choose Hypermax Refried and make the changes you want and export the theme
