Aura

[BILL]

Hi guys.
Please tell me how to add music to the main menu?
PS
I noticed a mistake. If the file info.conf indicates the year of release of the game is less than 1985, it is not displayed.

hello I'm looking for exactly this font because it's for continuing the project. Can you help me if someone has the real fonts?

Please tell me how to add music to the main menu?

What kind of music are you looking for? Just play the same audio file over and over again?

Im not sure what font it is, but there's a good chance it's one of the fonts in the font folder under the layout folder. Open each one up and see if there's a match.

I've also attempted to make my personal version of this Aura theme as it's the best I've seen for console games (wouldn't share it out of respect for the original creator). Put a lot of work into it the past year. Got it working with the same type of menu system as other popular builds like CoinOPS with the help of onMenuIdle. Not as good as selecting a game to go into the games menu like the original Aura theme, but using Retrofe I don't think there's another way to do it without making each collection a game like the original. I absolutely love it, and having spent the last year on it, I can see how much work the creator put into it planning, and creating it. Much respect.

I also created a small version with the possibility to choose the console with a new menu

Hello!

You were able to use the art in the retrofe variable, for example:

launcher = %ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%
metadata.type = %ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%

#media.artwork_back    = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\artwork_back
#media.artwork_front   = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\artwork_front
#media.logo            = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\logo
#media.medium_back     = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\medium_back
#media.medium_front    = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\medium_front
#media.screenshot      = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\screenshot
#media.screentitle     = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\screentitle
#media.video           = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\medium_artwork\video
#media.system_artwork  = %BASE_MEDIA_PATH%\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\system_artwork


Any of the above variables?
That's why I only managed using "system_artwok" and naming the image to cover.
I already changed the line "imageType="cover" to "artwork_front" and I couldn't.

If possible, could you please explain, thank you.

I think it would be great to revive Aura and see the things we could improve or others, because the theme is really interesting.

But you are using it inside the layout folder I want to use it inside the collections folder outside the layout like all the other themes and I already changed it and even then you only read the fanart and the story.

Remembering... if I remove the "mode="system" he can find the fanart and the story as a folder and the others put artwork_front, 3d_front, cover, no way it won't load.

even if I change it in settings.conf it doesn't read the file

I feel flattered that there are people who want to continue working on this theme for RetroFE. I'm sorry that I couldn't continue with it due to lack of time. With the existing material, you can do whatever you want, but what I would like is for you to take the ideas you like the most and develop your own themes.

@sonkers Actually, I modified Aura by adding a wheel with different consoles, and I changed the location where ROMs are added. I removed the menu where you could see the three images, the story with the gamepad because I found it too much work to add each game separately.

This part of the gamepad I'm doing little by little a day, what intrigues me is that it doesn't appear like the TITAN theme among others.rsrsrsrsrs

Buddy?
Just release what you have to update there (like the test 7 video for example) and the newest 4K and that's it and we'll continue and let's see what we can increment and try to finish.
I know that every hour more things appear, but it ends somehow.
Just release it for us, by the way, I sent you a private message asking about it, if possible, we are at your orders.
