      You can setup the custom collections. I've been doing it within this theme myself.

        @ruckage speaking of custom collections, the way you setup the theme, ES doesn’t allow to set custom collections from theme since there are no individual folders for each system.. Somthing to think about.

        Actually, I retract my last comment, I see what you mean now.
        And no, you can't usually select a theme folder as there are none as this theme is based around a single theme.xml setup.
        However for the collections I'm adding they will have a theme folder (a pretty much empty one though) which only contains a theme.xml with the following contents so it just uses the main theme.xml:

        <theme>
        
            <formatVersion>3</formatVersion>
        
        	<include>./../theme.xml</include>
        	
        </theme>
        

        This will make it selectable in the ES collections menu.

          Sorry if I missed this in all the comments, I did look. Wondering if there's a way for me to theme my custom collections. This theme is awesome, but it's also very different from the themes I've played with before.

          I've made icons for the 2 custom collections. In other themes you just create a same-named system folder and ES picks up on it. Wonder where I would go in this theme to tweak a little to theme my custom collections.

          They aren't as good as what ruckage would make on his own, but these are the 2 icons I made. I don't know the trick to get that blocky, aliased script like he does.

          how did you recreate them? Is there a PSD file with layers to share?

            Yes, I hid the tty logs, there are several tutorials explaining what to change to make the boot as silent as possible.

            To hide the EmulationStation splash screen you have 2 options:

            • Option 1) Make a splash video thats long enough so that ES has already loaded by the time the video ends.

            • Option 2) add the argument --no-splash to autostart.sh. The line should read: emulationstation --no-splash #auto (this is the method I used).

            Hi ruckage
            Can you provide a bit more info regarding that autostart file?
            I tried to implement emulationstation --no-splash #auto but no luck thus far the loading screen still shows.
            Where exactly inside the autostart file do I add that piece of code?

              Hi,

              There should only be a single line in your autostart.sh

              emulationstation --no-splash #auto
              

              I've just double checked on my test machine and it worked. Could you post a copy of your autostart.sh so I can see it?

                @flyingtomahawk you can also disable the splashscreen by adding the following line to es_settings.cfg.

                <bool name="SplashScreen" value="false" />

                  I didn't know about that, that's probably a better way to do it.

                    This theme you made is one of my new favorite ones. Keep up the good work.

                      That works for the first time but somehow the settings file gets overwritten and that piece of code disappears again.
                      That setting file is inside

                      opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/ 
                      

                      Is that path correct?

                        Hi,

                        That's the wrong autostart.sh. The one you want is located at: /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

                        You can also access it from Windows through the samba share, just go to: /configs/all/autostart.sh

                        It should literally be a single line as I posted above.

                          I've made some icons/logos for the classic collections. I'm working on the backgrounds now.

                                  @ruckage Do you have any ETA for the Amiga icon ? That's the only one I'm missing :(
                                  It's just cosmetic on the carroussel, no big deal of course, but I hope it will come soon :)

                                    @ruckage can you please include also a supergrafx icon too? Thanks!

                                      Patience, these take time. It's not just an Icon that needs to be made but logos and several backgounds as well so it takes time.
                                      Both are on the to do list, I already posted that Amiga will be in the next update (along with a few others) and Supergrafx will probably in the update after that.

                                          how did you recreate them? Is there a PSD file with layers to share?

                                          Opened up the images in Photoshop then did some meticulous cutting/pasting/layering.
