Hi everyone,

I've been busy this weekend and have just updated the nes-mini theme with several new systems, custom-collections, an alternate snes-usa system, and also updated the help images to match the current ES button functions.

The new systems are:

PC/dosbox
Amiga
Game & Watch
PC engine CD
MSX
MSX2
Custom-collections
snes-usa

Below is an animated GIF showing the new additions.

Hope we'll see those too on your SNES theme soon ;)

@ruckage

Next release, can you add an option to choose a gamelist help bar with the US spelling of "favourite"? Also, can you add the Arcade logo with the "25c" label that you made to its respective system in the next release? Sorry if I am asking much of you...

Yeah, that should be possible.

@ruckage this is awesome thank you! How do i change to the alternate snes-usa icon?

You have to do it manually I'm afraid.
Go into the nes-mini theme folder
Find the snes folder and rename it to snes-europe
Find the snes-usa folder and rename it to snes
Restart emulation station and you should have the US version of the snes.

Yes, they will be on the Snes-mini theme probably in the next few days.

@ruckage awesome job as always!

Will you release launch images for those newly added systems aswell?

EDIT: Nevermind, just found out you already did! Great!

Already done, I updated them the same time as the theme. You can get them here: Launch Images

@meleu If you'd like to update the launch images for your rpie-art script please do.

@ruckage is there a way to not have the game zoom in when you click on it to start? I saw on your video once you click on the game it just goes and does have the zoom in as it does on default.

Also- when do you plan to upload the new snes theme onto ESTHEMES. Excited :)

ruckage

@skr1b
It's because you have the trasition style set to 'slide'. Change it to 'instant', it suits this theme better anyway.

skr1b

@ruckage ah perfect... thanks

and how about that snes theme on ESTHEMES? :)

greekmanx

@skr1b it already is

skr1b

@greekmanx it is? It must have been done within the last 24 hours? I checked last night and it was not. That is awesome if so!

@ruckage just sent you a donation mate. Thanks for the hard work and awesome themes. Love them!

Best theme for the Pi so far. Just also installed the SNES theme while testing my new Pi Zero W and it looks absolutely gorgeous!

I'll throw in some more donation money if I can request 4 more systems for the Minis:

PlayStation 2 (Sony, 2000)* for those few ES users in x86 builds
Satellaview (Nintendo, 1995)
Videopac (Philips, 1983)
Apple II (Apple Inc., 1977)

I would love to add the SuFami Turbo (Bandai, 1996) to the list, but that would be for another time since this was merely a hardware add-on by Bandai that was licensed by Nintendo for the Super Famicom, and plus you already have your hands full with some of my earlier request for the time being.

Again, kudos to you @ruckage. Keep up the good work! :)

Good idea, i use them too :)

I would love to add the SuFami Turbo (Bandai, 1996)

I don't know it before lol ... Thank you for having discovered it :p
It is not really a system ... only 13 games on this system, with 6 SD Gundam!
And how do you play them on PI ? Is it possible to merge two games like in real life ?

I think it can be a very good idea to add the MSU1 one!
There are many MSU1 games, and it is the MegaCD of the SNES ;)

@ruckage Hey, man I wanna say that I love both of your NES and SNES mini themes. I was wondering if you were planning on adding Gamecube and Wii systems to both themes?

skr1b

@ruckage Is there any reason that installing this theme would mess up my gamelist.xml files? Seems like after installing this none of my boxart / videos on certain systems are working and then spotty on others. Not sure if its due to the theme or something else? But haven't really change anything else...thanks

ruckage

@thewanderingriot @darknior @SP
I'll have a look at adding some of these sytems, I'll add them to my todo list.

Hi, the theme will have nothing to do with that, it must be something else causing the issue (themes are literally just visual in nature, they have no control over gamelists).

Is the update available from RetroPie Setup? Tried to update and got a git pull failure. SNES Mini downloaded fine through Retropie Setup.

Hi, I just checked and yes it's available and working.

Maybe it was just a glitch, give it another try. If it still doesn't work then maybe try uninstalling the theme and re-installing it rather than updating.

If you edited the theme, that is the problem as Git didn't track your changes since you didn't commit them into the repository. My advice is to make future changes into the "~/.emulationstation/themes" directory.
