AnberThemes VS AmberELEC

Besides the stock themes, there's also Options > Tools >Thememaster for downloading more. You can check them out here: https://github.com/Jetup13/Emulationstation-OGA-Theme-Gallery. (This is the repo that Thememaster uses to grab themes, where you can preview the look and artwork they use). Many of these also offer sub-settings to tweak and fiddle with.

I also had this same issue. For some reason, the latest ArkOS release didn't include the Thememaster folder necessary to run the app. Download the Thememaster folder from here: https://github.com/JohnIrvine1433/ThemeMaster Copy the folder over to: EASYROMS/tools/ if you are using the main SD card for your ROMs location or just /tools/ if you are using the secondary SD card for your ROMs location. You can use the Portmaster shell script and folder as a guide, Thememaster's files should follow a similar hierarchy. I would recommend doing the first (copying over to EASYROMS) regardless of if you are using the first or second SD card for ROM storage because when you insert a fresh secondary sd card to format as your new ROM location, ArkOS copies over this tools folder. So if the Thememaster folder is missing from EASYROMS then it will also be missing in the new SD card location as well.

#!/bin/bash # # ThemeMaster # https://github.com/JohnIrvine1433/ThemeMaster # Description : launch script # cd "$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" >/dev/null 2>&1 && pwd )/ThemeMaster" rm -rf /tmp/ThemeMaster.log bash ThemeMaster 2>&1 | tee -a /tmp/ThemeMaster.log

Not sure which version of the theme is on the default ArkOS image anymore but make sure to update it through Thememaster or manually. As I've updated the theme to make the larger logos the default, support custom collections, and ect

Update the theme. The ones preinstalled don't automatically update beside the default theme. I post updates frequently for ArkOS over on the discord. You can find the themes in my github, you can find out how to install them here, you can also download them using anberthemes from the device using a compatible WiFi adapter

If that doesn't work, you could try manually flashing an older version of Amberelec

351elec is now amberelec, and yes, it can run ports. Actually, I think it's better than ArkOS now, much more intuitive, so I recommend you that one.

It also sounds like you might be better served with Amberelec: https://amberelec.org/

I was in your place few months ago and I installed Amberelec. It's much better now, in my opinion.

Might seem kinda too obvious but are you sure you have the correct img for the correct device? Did you download from "new installations" or "upgrade" or "assets"? https://github.com/AmberELEC/AmberELEC/releases/tag/20230203

The Retrorun and Retroarch Yabasanshiro cores were removed on Mar 12, 2022 because performance with them is much worse than Yabasanshiro Stand Alone.
