RELEASE NOTES

OmegaDrive has a unified home screen with a tabbed interface to help organize your systems. Each system has a unique look, layout, and style. With hundreds of hours of work, this theme has been in development for nearly a year and it's finally ready for a first release.
This has been a passion project for me as I wanted to give back to the community to show my support for all the hard work the RetroPie team and the Emulation community in general has given us. Version 1.0 includes support for the following systems:

  • Amiga
  • Arcade
  • Atari 2600
  • Atari 5200
  • Atari 7800
  • Atari Lynx
  • Atomiswave

SPECIAL FEATURES

This theme has support for several color variations for GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advance, as well as the option to change button and joystick types in some of the arcade systems. Within each system, there is a theme.xml you will see the following code as an example:

	<image name="background" extra="true">
		<pos>0 0</pos>
		<size>1 1</size>
		<path>./../art/systembg/arcade (happ).png</path>
	</image>

Under path you will see the background image. Just open the art folder in the directly specified and you can change the image to your desired background / option of choice.


BACKGROUND MUSIC

If you don't already have the ability to play background music and would like to add it, this script is the best I've tried:

OTHER NOTES

If you get flashing screens

This is probably the heaviest theme ever created (size wise) so you may need to change your VRAM setting in EmulationStation. My suggestion is 160mb.
