Hi again, Verion

So, to be more clear, your beautiful Nevato theme doesn't work on my 800x480 small monitor.
I'm using a RPI2.
I really love this theme so if you can make something, that would be great,
but it sounds a lot of work. :)

I'm sorry but you have be more specific. I can't pinpoint the problem with "does not work" only.

- black screen?
- bad aspect ratio?
- crashes AM?

---

other themes are working correctly?

Black screen. Some themes work perfectly, Cools, Reflect, Reflectspin, Attractman, Gamestation...
Some not. :(

It's too bad this doesn't work in vertical aspect, looks like a nice theme.

Finhead, if you don't mind letterbox type black borders above and below, this in your layout.nut will allow for you to experience nearly every theme here:

fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio=true; //This makes it work at other resolutions...

So that would be placed at the top of whatever theme I have aspect ratio issues with? Sorry very new to this stuff. ;)

Also I tried using this theme to see if it would even work and I just get a large image of the game selected with the game names in large letters down the center of the screen.

@Finhead

It not designed (coded) to work in vertical position.
For vertical screen almost all elements should to be repositioned/scaled.

And this is so much work so I've decided to focus on another theme that will be perfectly suited for vertical screens.
It's almost ready to release and I can focus entirely on design and composition since Chris is doing all the heavy (code) lifitng.
It's called FLAT BLUE and you can check it in separate thread.


@chaney

if it's just black screen I'm affraid that I can't help you untill I'll install AM on my RPi2 - I'm planning this, but can't really find the time to do that.

Hi Verion,

Sorry, bad memory, just tested again at home and in fact I have the same screen as Finhead.
The rom titles above a video, that's all, on an horizontal monitor.

Your screen aspect is not supported out of the box, but that's should be easy to fix.

Open layout.nut in text editor.
You can un-comment lines 76 and 77 and edit it to be:

fe.layout.width = 1920;
fe.layout.height = 1200;

save and restart AM

---

let me know if this helps

Verion, it's really better, as you can see on the pic :)
Still some problems, however. Do you know what I could do with the white square?

The red marks are on the protective film on the screen ;)

Edit: OK I resized the cab_body.png and everything is almost working perfectly. :)
I have to go out now, but I'll talk to you more tomorrow after some tests.

Thanks a lot, Verion!

I put it right after:
local my_config = fe.get_config();
in layout.nut

@chaney

You can use low-res version that I've uploaded earlier in this thread.
It's basically the same version but with all graphics downsized for low-res screens (or low-mem graphics cards).
Or you can resize it for yourself - everything should auto-magically scale and fit together.

Got this working thanks for the help bionictoothpick and verion.

Had to put

fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio=true;

And uncomment line 76 and 77 and change it to

fe.layout.width = 1600;
fe.layout.height = 1280;

Fills about 2/3rd the screen. So workable on a vertical display just a bit smaller, when you start a game it's full screen anyway.

You should keep fe.layout.height = 1200
This is because of a bug in skew/pinch that is vertical resolution related.
If you use other resolution - cab monitor and marquee can be little misaligned (or maybe it's fixed in 2.0RC).
If you want to stretch the layout vertically - you can just change the layout.width - let's say 1500x1200

For some reason 1200 wasn't working for me. and if I put my actual resolution 1024 X 1280 it was 1/2 size.
