gameOS theme for Pegasus Frontend

The goal of this theme is to create a modern game launcher that can fit in alongside other tvOS-like apps (sometimes called 10 foot user interfaces). gameOS is a theme for Pegasus Frontend.

Installation

Simply download the theme and place it in your Pegasus theme directory under a folder called gameOS.

Windows users may need to install the K-lite Codec Pack to get video playback working.

Metadata

It is recommended to use Skraper.net to acquire media assets for this theme. These are the minimum requirements for media scraping, although adding more could be useful for other themes or the future:

• video
• screenshot
• fanart
• box 2d
• wheel

Skraper will place these in your roms folder under another folder called media.

If no media files are showing up, make sure that Skraper Assets is checked in the Additional Data Sources section of Pegasus settings. It may also be preferable to convert the created gamelist.xml (assuming EmulationStation was chosen for the game list in Skraper) to a metadata.txt file using the Pegasus conversion tool
