I need this fanart to create a new retro bedrooms, Can someone upload the file back to PSD?
thanks
Here ya go. I had to reupload them because I couldn't use my regular server as a file host. Christ...i did these back in 2017...6 years ago already.
Fanart.psd >> https://file.io/H5iZ9KFVNLis
SNES.psd >> https://file.io/TfwMffOFF7I0
NES Overlay.psd....just remember, this I made for RetroPie but maybe you can still reconfigure it to work for Launchbox >> https://file.io/0A4s2CSK1GvP

Yeah, kinda disappointed in myself for only getting 2 done and not having the time I thought I would to do all the main consoles. Each one took longer than I thought it would with all the masking out and stuff in Photoshop.
Cooper has done a good job taking over with the templates I sent him...maybe he can finish what I started
-
nice, man! The overall lighting look really cool.

By any chance can you share the PSD for your NES Overlay? I'd like to use that TV and make an SNES version. This picture has gotten me so incredibly excited. This is perfection! I absolutely love this. Can't stop playing NES now
Sure, here ya go.

This thread is the biggest tease since Coyote Ugly.
Sorry about that. Didn't realize how long just doing one console would take. Never found the time to complete the rest. Was really excited to start it and could have looked cool. Who knows..maybe down the road some time I'll get back on it. Most likely not but ya never know.
-
No problem...yeah, part of what takes so long is cutting out all those items from an image.
-
doh, don't know what happened there. I just copied and pasted..weird! I fixed it if you didn't alreayd just copy and paste the link into your browser.
-
yeah sure, download them from my server. There's the background wall with the posters thats the "fanart" file and then the SNES PSD with the main stuff in the foreground.
I also made a NES version to use as an overlay for my RetroPie NES setup.
In use on my TV

Yeah, unfortunately I never got around to doing all the consoles. The SNES one took long enough lol..would take a while to gather images for each of the main systems and put them together in some way in photoshop.

Im wondering this also. I just got a G29 with shifter. Got it working great with the settings in Supermodel and Logitech Gaming Software but its not working correctly in the Model 2 emulator. Where its supposed to accelerate only as much as you're pushing the pedal down, in the Model 2 emu the slightest press acts as a button and give it 100% throttle. This screws up playing something like Daytona USA when you want to drift and control speed. Dayonta USA 2 works great in Supermodel.
The key set up is minimal for Model 2 vs the Model 3 emulator. There's no telling it to use Y and Z axis..just sees it as joy 1 accelerator and joy 1 brake. Even with that I have to swap just so the correct pedals do what they're supposed to.
Why bother supporting force feedback if you don't allow the correct key/wheel mapping?

Right on! Cant wait to see the final version. I wish I could help but I have no idea how xml works. Maybe one of these days I will look into it.
well that makes 2 of us that don't know XML lol. I've only needed to edit one of the XML files to get rid of text otherwise its all photoshop work.

Is there a release date for this?
unfortunately no release date has been set. As mentioned earlier I kinda did this for fun just to see how it would come out but now that there's some interest I will finish it at some point. Just a little busy with work related stuff right now. I've never done a theme before so I'd have to make sure I have the files for whatever views right and all that jazz.
Glad to see people like the idea but apologize that it will take some time for me to fit in. Be patient

Hey guys! How are you?
@vice350z; I registered to tell you that this bedroom theme is what I was looking for for a long time! Simply beautiful!
Would you be doing any other console? (N64, PSX, SMS, SG).
I LOVE this theme! Thanks for sharing your vision.
Thanks..i will eventually be doing more systems...the mainstream ones anyway. Just busy with work stuff now.

Looks nice. I vote for removing the arcade; doesn't fit the theme in my mind.
you mean the arcade machine in the room? Yeah..i was just trying to fill space but not sure if I liked it in there.

The last SNES picture you posted of the SNES ones is better one IMO. It has more lighting effects with the darker background and the lighter desk. The original theme has lots of ambience (atmosphere), with the pink glow from the neon lights reflecting off the TV etc (it feels alive). I like the opacity of the strip in the very first NES picture though. The NES one is nice with the lighting effects.
Yeah, the darker background sets off the foreground better. The background will be a fanart file and the opacity of it can be adjusted through the settings to a users liking. The TV and everything to the left of it on the Nintendo one is from the original Retro Arcade theme I'm basing it on so that's why that has that lighting effect that the original creator created. Makes sense in the dark arcade setting he's doing. Not so much in my "room" setting where you wouldn't normally have such a dark over head light kinda setting.

On 1/19/2017 at 3:46 PM, nnescorpionn said:wow!!! i love it!!! release date?
Thanks folks. Release date? Not really sure...never really thought about that. This all started with me wondering how the Retro Arcade theme would look with a theme I had in mind, tried one out and asked if there was any interest. Since a few are actually interested I guess I should continue on, huh? lol. A little busy at the moment and waiting for my new computer parts to come in for a PC I'm building. Right now I'm using my living room table as a desk and working off a projection screen..so its not an optimal/comfortable work experience. Should have my PC done this week and then have a lot of work projects to work on. Will have to figure out how to work in this theme project.
1 hour ago, 80sarcadeboy said:Love this. It will be an amazing theme. I started dreaming that as well as the age of the room reflecting the era, the age of the person there also aged. For the later systems there might be more slightly more risque posters and a can of beer instead of a soft drink etc..
lol, i like that idea. Only thing is that doing movie posters keeps the theme consistent. But it would be easy to take a request and use different posters in the background if someone wanted that.

if it worked for you already I would assume the artwork just needs to be redone/reworked to fit the area. Can you set the game size screen to be smaller in retroarch to fit within the tv? I assumed if just filled the whole screen.
Months ago I was trying to figure out how to get the TV overlays to work in my RetroPie setup but couldn't figure it out. Where does the overlay file get uplaoded to and how do you select it in RetroPie/EmulationStation? I knew how to overlay scanlines, i would assume same way to overlay the TV screen. What kinda file does the tv overlay have to be saved as?

I think I have the SNES Platform screen pretty much final. Just have to figure out how to get rid of the pink 1990 and SNES text off the screen and doing something a little nicer with the platform wheel. But the main image/collage itself is pretty much done. I think it came out ok. Feel free to add any comments/suggestions.
I know SNES was 1990 but I put stuff in the room from a small range of the early 90's as if the person's had the SNES for a while now.
Cripes, took this long just to do ONE console so far in only the Platform view so far lol.

That did it, many thanks!
Great looking theme. Pity it doesn't have themes for the Atari systems or CPC464.
No prob.
I think @skainlurmis is busy but I think he mentioned at some point he'll do more systems

Just looking for some help with installing a theme. I downloaded the file, unzipped the contents into a folder in the Themes folder of Launchbox, then selected the theme in BigBox. However, I get this:
What am I doing wrong?
That's what I got at first. I went into options and set my K key to change views and cycled through till i got to the right view.
-
hoping someone can help me out...not sure where to ask.
I'm using a current theme to try to build my own theme. I need to move and resize the video box that displays the platform video. What file am I supposed to edit to accomplish this? I've looked through the Views and Styles folders but I have no clue. I just need to move it over a bit and make the video window a little bigger.
Driving me crazy that I can't figure it out myself or find anything about it googling it.
-
I'm working on a theme using a theme already made and just editing it. The video window is off from where I want it to display.
How do I go about moving/resizing the video window? I would assume using a Visual Studio? I downloaded and messed with it but have no clue what I"m doing. As for being "visual"...i don't get it. All you're doing is working in a black space. I thought it would show you how it looks as you're working on it.

1. That is simple enough... does size matter for this or does it automatically adjust/scale?
2. I understand that part, I meant on the actual sega page where it shows the system and all the box arts in one big image... i wondered if he had one with Genesis instead of MD.
4. Thanks, I will give that all a shot and see what happens
1. I just downloaded it, popped it into the folder and it looked good to me.
2. Ah, i misunderstood you. I just looked and see its the background image that had to be created.
3. Good luck!
