      Satellaview (Nintendo, 1995)
      Videopac (Philips, 1983)
      Apple II (Apple Inc., 1977)

      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 ;)

      Life is game, just play it !

        @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?

          @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

            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.

                    Don't sweat it.
                    When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

                      Gotcha. My es_systems.cfg is the only thing that was edited to change the order of the systems.

                      Thanks @ruckage and @PokeEngineer!

                        Hey there Ruckage, like how the themes look. How much longer you think until 4:3 support is added?

                          @ruckage First off, I want to say that I just recently installed your theme on my retropi setup and I have to say that it's one of the most beautiful and nostalgic things I've ever seen. Great job on all of the hard work you have put into it!

                          Secondly, I wanted to see if it was possible to make the theme support the 1920x1200 resolution? When I was younger I apparently thought 1920x1200 was the cool resolution to have when in reality it's just a pain in the ass because most things support 1080p and will letterbox on that monitor. Thanks again for all of the time and effort you put into this theme!

                            There are already some 4:3 resolutions supported in the NES/famicom-mini themes, see the:
                            ## RESOLUTION AND LAYOUTS GUIDE ##.txt in the theme folder for more info. 4:3 will be added to the SNES-mini theme soon.

                            Hi, glad you like the theme.

                            Adding that resolution would be problematic as it's a 16:10 ratio and the only option other than redrawing many of the graphics specifically for that ratio would be to stretch everything vertically, even this would require a lot of work requiring massive changes to the theme code and I don't think it's a common enough aspect ratio to warrant it. I also don't even have a display I would be able to test it on which would make things even trickier.

                            I think your best bet would be to force the rpi to output a 1080p signal (assuming your monitor supports it) and then either have your monitor stretch the image to fill the screen (most monitors can do this) or a add the letter boxing. Personally I'd go for the letter boxing.

                              @ruckage Ah, I thought you were going to make a separate theme then. I'll check it out and make the changes. Thanks for letting me know.

                                It's kind of like a config file, I've done all the changes for each resolution so all you have to do is the change the setting in the layout.xml file. The ## RESOLUTION AND LAYOUTS GUIDE ##.txt details all the options.

                                        Ah, I see what you mean - I was being dense for a moment, I actually forgot I'd put the links in the first post.

                                        Not sure if you realise but you can also install the theme directly within retropie using the ES theme manager - I think most people use that now. But if you're happy with installing manually then just stick with the github links, both options will always be the latest version.

                                            Thanks, I was really pleased with how it turned out. Neo Geo X docks make a great pi case, it's shame they tend to be hard to get and are quite expensive now.
