                  Hi @mYSt
                  Great new version! After a long break, I'm currently updating to a RasPi 4 and RB 8, of course including Next Pixel v2 🙂

                  There seems to be a small bug in v2:
                  When selecting system Coleco, no specific music of the loaded game theme is played (no matter which one is currently loaded) -> It always plays the default music of Recalbox system instead.
                  Thanks for your work and support!

                  Pi 4:
                  Sony DualShock 4 (2nd gen), 8BitDo Pro 2, 8BitDo SF30 PRO, Retroflag SUPERPi 4 Case, Recalbox 9.0

                  Pi Zero 2W:
                  GPi Case 2W, Recalbox 9.0

                    @mYSt Sorry, just found out that more systems are affected, in my case Atari 2600, Atari 7800 and Coleco. Looked in the ES-logs and found some warnings related to missing audio files and actually, the file was missing.
                    -> So some game themes just don't include a music file (yet), right?
                    No problem for me so far, I will just exclude those few affected ones from being loaded.

                        Would it be possible to use the 1080p version of the theme on a Raspberry Pi 4 with more than 1GB RAM? For example on a Pi 4 with 2GB? Or would I still have to use the 720p version? If this would work, I would think about buying the 2GB Version! I love the next pixel theme and since I want to emulate PSP, forcing the Pi to run in 720p isn't an option for me.

                          Hello and thx for your feedback

                          Unfortunatly 1080p won't work with PI4 no matter which ram version you use. As far as i know setting 720p for emulationstation won't set your emulator version so you can still run psp emulator with a different resolution.

                              When I force Emulationstation to run in 720p, will I still be able to switch to CRT mode via my RGB-Pi cable or the RGBDual? Or does the "forced resolution" interfere with this?

                                @myst Is there any known reason why even Pi 4 has issues with 1080p theme? Just have scraped everything for 1080p and having major issues, especially:

                                • Backgrounds in system overview (both wheel and horizontal view, does not matter) aren't sometimes loaded or loaded very slowly (black background in the meanwhile).
                                • Glitches when switching between systems/gamelists.

                                I thought the problem is be gone with Pi 4 (4 GB), so I have implemented it without too much reading before. Unfortunately it's not. Very disappointing 😥
                                Hope ES will be further optimized, I can't imagine Pi 4 isn't powerful enough to display that kind of content without issues. The cause can't be the amount of memory...

                                Pi 4:
                                Sony DualShock 4 (2nd gen), 8BitDo Pro 2, 8BitDo SF30 PRO, Retroflag SUPERPi 4 Case, Recalbox 9.0

                                Pi Zero 2W:
                                GPi Case 2W, Recalbox 9.0

                                  Hello

                                  I installed Next Pixel Theme on my Recalbox 8.0 Electron, but it does not save my Configuration changes. Only the Design "1A" is displayed in every Sub Menu, after a performed new start of the box.

                                  My scraped Images are displayed to big to fit in the square in the middle. The square is overlayed but you can see a thin black line in every picture.

                                  Can you tell me how I can fix this?

                                  Thank you!

                                      @lhari84 Indeed the problem is not memory quantity but how ES is build so 2,4 or 8 go memory is the same and it's still recomanded to use 720p/480p for pi user
                                      A new optimized version is on its way but need to be patient 😉

                                        @glascoyote-0 Hello, check this part of documentation https://github.com/SamYStudiO/es-theme-next-pixel#scraping--next-pixel-mix and espcially the last phrase if you don't want to use next pixel mix

                                          @lhari84 ES issues regarding picture resolutions are related to the GPU memory which is limited to less than 512Mb whether you have 1, 2, 4 or even 8Gb on the board. That's why we say that running Recalbox on more than 2Gb is useless.

                                          Nevertheless, we're already working on the FrontEnd to rewrite all the picture management code, but it's a long and hard task, don't expect changes in the next weeks.

                                            Thanks for info, great to read that there is a chance for future optimization! 👍
                                            In the meanwhile I realized the issue regarding graphics memory vs. general memory. Tried to increase graphics memory to more then 512 MB in boot.txt and the system did not boot anymore 😳 So I have set it to 512 MB now. Too bad that the Pis are limited in this way.
