      Hey everyone- Just want to make a note here. I know we are all super appreciative of Ruckage and what he is doing with these amazing themes. I see a lot of requests coming in and recommend if you are asking for a request to make a donation to him. He has the link above. He is literally using his "free time" to do this at no cost to people, make a donation with a request.... its the right thing to do even if its small.

        @crocodiletom What skr1b said. The other thing I'll add is, you can place them in a subfolder in the PSP section. Name the folder #PSP-Minis and the # sign will convert to a folder symbol in the theme.

        This is how I handle all of my prototypes and rom hacks in systems.

          @skr1b This x 1,000.

          Once I can, I plan on donating again. This is some truly fantastic work.

            Also, why you don't try to create the pixel icon for the system you need in the meantime that Ruckage add his own icon? I created my own snes usa icon, Pce CD and Supergrafx before Ruckage created them so I didn't have to worry about seeing black screens on my theme (supergrafx has not been deployed by Ruckage but he eventually will do it) so no need to rush him. Is really fun and at the same time you would learn how Ruckage has been creating the themes so you can customize it.

              @livefastcyyoung you can also use a system you have no interest on emulate for your not classified roms, hacks, etc, just create a folder for that in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms and create the entry in /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg under Platform tag use the one from the system you don't want to emulate (e.g. vectrex) for your system entry or well create your own art, is super fun! ;)

                  Hi everyone. Thanks for all the replies and sorry for not replying to everyone individually. I will work on adding new systems but it will take time as it can be quite time consuming.

                  @nj180grados @FlyingTomahawk I'm personally a big fan of Capcom so will add Capcom as a system/collection. Personally I group all the Capcom games together but it won't be a problem for me to add individual CPS1/CPS2/CPS3 collections so I will do so.

                  @krispy Ports has been an included system from the start so not sure why you aren't seeing it.

                  UPDATE

                  I've just updated the theme and it should be available now. Apart from adding new systems I've also changed a few things so that it will now be possible to setup external config files. The advantages of this are that you won't lose your customisations when updating the theme and you could also setup several customisations that you could choose from within ES. I'll explain more in another post.

                  New systems:

                  Amiga
                  MSX
                  MSX2
                  Game and watch
                  PC Engine CD
                  PC
                  Snes-Classic
                  Nes-Classic
                  Famicom-classic
                  Super Famicom-classic

                  You can see a preview gif below.

                    @ruckage Thanks a lot, I would be happy to see each capcom system separated by board, ie capcom cps 1 2 and 3 each with its icon and with its year of creation since they are different hardware .. but I think you could also add the global icon for all three systems, the only thing that should be omitted is the number .. would be four icons in total no? in short I would love to see it done, so I have no complaints, I love the latest updates that you have added. A greeting!

                      Is there a way to remove the name of the system from a game in a custom collection?

                          I'm assuming you mean the system name in square brackets at the end of the game name in collections? You can't remove that as far as I know, EmulationStation adds that itself. (correct me if I'm wrong @pjft )

                          You'll need to add those to your es_system.cfg file as I don't think they're included by default.

                                  Will the "Sega Mega-CD" System (JAP/EUR Version of "Sega-CD") be included in a future release?

                                          I don't know, it will probably end up as an error or it will overwrite. If you made any changes, you probably want to back it up for reference.

                                          Don't sweat it.

                                            You can get it from the ES Themes installer or if you prefer to do it manually there is a link to the theme in the first post.
                                            As @PokeEngineer said if you've customised it then make a backup of your config.xml first.
                                            As I said in my last update I've made some changes so that you can have multiple configs separate to the theme itself but I'll need to do a more in depth post to explain how it works.
