      I have no programming skills, just asking out of curiosity.

      I love the NES Mini theme for my EmulationStation Pi but I see someone made a theme for Attract Mode that is almost a perfect recreation of the actual NES Classic UI. I like using ES better than AM.

      If the theme can be made in Attract Mode, can it be made/work for Emulation Station or is there just a bunch of things I'm not aware of differences between the two softwares?

        Attract mode is not the same as ES theme "Attract-Mode is a graphical frontend" like Emulationstation, i meant: attract mode is a program with own options and menus etc.

          I'm sure some functions can be replicated but would require lots of manual work and wouldn't be exact. Pegasus would probably be better able to replicate it but requires lots of coding know how
