Never update our theme. Please delete this file. The theme here is outdated as we can't write the team name in it. It's now on our Github. Do a Google search you guys should find it. The theme work 100% perfectly with our official version.

AGAIN, never update someone else's work because after people will come on our Discord and tell us it's not working.

Thanks for your comprehension!

Can't find your Github and neither your Discord

@deletedaccount yep it would be better if you put your github and discords in your signature

@deletedaccount
Is it the EMULGA theme? If yes, it had same problem.
Maybe conflict with newer Version of recalbox?

[A Former User]

The theme works with the latest version of Recalbox 18.07.13

Remains untested with the released betas.

Can't add the links in my signature, it's been forbidden by the RB staff.

I'm not the one making the rules, I'm the one following them.

@deletedaccount
Ok, link?

[paradadf]

@nico-irano no links because it is full of copyrighted content.

[nico-irano]

ok, so what i wanna Know, is : the Theme linked in the first post has this problem. Anyone has tried the theme on github? Problem solved? I can't find the theme....i googled it but nothing.

[tarraske]

They could open an exception for at least the theme to be functional, because it is not due to the black screens when leaving the games, it's a shame as it is an incredible theme.

Theme on github is emulga box and is similar with some new system added but it has the same problems. That is the reason because i've fixed the problems some days ago.

[tarraske]

@sheyk90 Have black screen problems been solved too?

[nico-irano]

@sheyk90 low quality background, but hope it works

I konw it, but is the solution. Raspberry is not powerful...

@tarraske @nico-irano @sheyk90

Found a good solution to all problems with this theme. Every time i tried to exit a game, a black screen happend(and ES got killed). If i set gpu_mem_1024=384 or lower, white artifacts started to happen instead of loading background/system title/ whatever images.

If gpu_mem_1024=512 was set, EmulationStation would be killed by Linux Out of Memory management, since there was not RAM enough

Solution to make this theme work:

• Set gpu_mem_1024=448 on /boot/config.txt (64+128+256)
• Set overclocking to 1300 inside EmulationStation (i have a MEGApi case and this, a working fan)
• Reclaim some extra memory by disabling web manager, recalbox api and Samba share. DON'T do this if you are using a system where you are putting roms or tinkering constantly. Edit /recalbox/share/system/recalbox.conf with the following parameters: system.samba.enabled=0, system.api.enabled=0 and system.manager.enabled=0
• Set static gamelists through the interface. Again, you should have a good rom list aready working cause new games will not be dinamically included.

@nwildner gpu_mem_1024=384 is the default value in latest beta version, and will be in the next release.

EmulationStation is never killed by any OOM manager. It just crash when available memory is too low or too fragmented.

Anyway... there are simple & clever things to do in order to avoid OOM without cutting off half the Recalbox services: DO NOT INSTALL 1080p THEME ON RASPBERRY PI! 720p maximum for background images.

I have a full system Recalbox and no memory issues when using a 720p theme.

Yeah, i saw that on Gitlab

Since the theme creators can't post things here due to copyright issues, and i don't really think they want abandon the 1080p resolution on their theme, guess i'll have to stick with other themes.

[Bkg2k]

Puting the theme on mega.nz or any other file-sharing system avoid copyright issues.

possible de mettre à jour le thème pour la version 6 de recalbox ? ne marche pas
