Themes / Re: Project HyperPie - RetroPie Image Coming Soon!

« on: January 28, 2017, 12:42:01 AM »

Looks nice and all and it's presented well in the youtube video, but I agree with what progrets said. My initial reaction to this was "meh" because this has been done before and I think more people here would be impressed if you released your themes to the public rather than forcing anyone who wants this to download a 4gb+ file. Also, I have a feeling it will require users to endure websites decorated with other junk/spam/advertisements in order to actually download the whole thing.

Most theme's have or will been released to the public along with countless others constantly released in the forum and Facebook group. So much good content has come from the group in its previous incarnation and it's current one. We love creating content and helping people should check it out you might be pleasantly surprise bud. 

Okay, bud I certainly hope that i'm wrong and that you guys live up to the hype on this, and wish you all the best of luck with the final results. What would probably be best is to make the themes available for many of those who'd rather not start from scratch, while at the same time make a raspberry pi image/iso available for those who would like a more easy setup. Besides, a little negativity isn't such a bad thing as it inspires you and your team to work harder and prove all of the 'nay-sayers' wrong or anyone with any doubt whatsoever about what you're doing to retract their negativity or other doubtful comments. With that being said, look forward to seeing your guys' finished product

Thanks, this wasn't just a whim, the effort and thought I believe is good, criticism is good, blatant negativity is not lol.

We release so many custom theme's for people to use on our own forum and Facebook group for guys to pick and choose what they like. We have YouTube tutorials and we answer all questions and problems best we can. Any concerns that people would flood here with problems are not needed we are self contained in that respect.

I am really excited about what we are doing and the people involved are talented, passionate guys. Not everyone may like our themes, scripts, tweaks etc and that's cool but even if your not after a base image our group and forum still has lots to offer from guys putting the effort in on their free time just like on here.

Really isn't based on floobs it's been built from ground up, updated with everything possible, standardised to use hyperspin naming has a ton of customised themes. Lots of work has been put in from everyone in their free time to make something for the community.

Yes you can build it yourself we all have but why wouldn't you want to put something out there for everyone free of charge for to use. From what I have seen there is nothing like it kicking about and opens it up to lots of people to have fun gaming with a nice looking frontend.

Negativity about something so helpful is a little weird, why not try it out when it's done and see what's what. If then you can honestly be negative then fair enough

Announcements / Re: Version 2.2.1 Released

Hi

For info it may or may not help others with the same issue as I had above. I was running vista and after trying this release on my wife's windows 10 laptop (where it worked) decided to upgrade my OS to windows 7.

Now It works no problem on win 7 64bit. I still don't know what the error relates to but now it's solved for me.

Thanks
David.

Hello,

I am currently stuck with version 2.1 as when I tried 2.2 and this version I get a black box and then "Failed to create texture invalid size." repeating forever. I noticed a few with the same issue on the 2.2 thread but it wasn't solved from what I could see.

I spoke to a friend who has it working no problem so I'm guessing it may be something on my pc it doesn't like.

It's windows 64bit version, if someone could enlighten me on what this error may be and help me solve this it would be greatly appreciated.
