thats really cool having a choice of 6 different no-meta layouts,

i was wandering seen as there is no meta data now, would we be able to customise the box art so that no "published" or "played" meta data is displayed too?

So much for me thinking that there would be something to suit everyone now :D ......

lol it was just something i was thinking about , im sure im sure i should be able to hide it via the base.xml

@ruckage this might've already been addressed but I believe there's an issue with the display of number of players.

e.g. "1" and "2" work fine but "1-2" and "4+" throw a couple small white boxes with what looks like an "f" inside on the screen. It's the special characters "-" and "+" that cause.

It's not issue with the theme, it's an issue with the scraped info in the gamelist due to it having 1-4 instead of simply 4, the theme relies on it being a single digit for the player icons to work as it's achieved by using a special font (if you go back to the begining of the thread I explain how it was achieved https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12583/snes-mini-theme/41).

If you check the documentation I included with the theme you'll see I've made allowances for this, you can change an option in the config.xml to display the player count as text instead of icons if you wish.

Another alternative is to edit your gamelist.xml. Use notepad++ or similar and search and replace all occurrences of 1-4 and replace with 4 (do the same for any other number of players affected).

@ruckage this theme is AMAZING!

any chance at ZMachine or Apple II being supported later on?

I should be able to add those at some point. I want to get a default system added as well (will require the latest version of ES) so that even unsupported systems will still display correctly.

Christmas came early today :D .

I received a parcel all the way from Japan very kindly sent by @FlyingTomahawk which contained a Famicom along with lots of spare parts. It's the first time I've seen a Famicom in real life and what a cute console it is, it's smaller than I imagined (much smaller than an NES) and is a really nice design. I'm excited to get started on a build using it now. Thanks again @FlyingTomahawk , you've made my day :D .

@ruckage if you ever need any help designing icons or logos just send me some of your templates and I'm more than willing to help you out man

This theme is just PERFECT!

@ruckage

Ah nice. My donation arrived rather quickly.
Did you recognize the font I used for the shipping labels? ;-)

Looking forward to your build.
Enjoy!

How do I switch the arcade icons from 10p to 25c?

Sounds like something he could add to the US layout.

Is there a Kodi icon for the home menu? I don't have Kodi in the Ports section as it's the only thing i have in there and it looks lame on it's own!

Just insane u make me so happy with ur theme, just left scummvm and amstrand cpc to make my day and complete my microSD

ruckage

Sorry for not replying sooner, I've been busy the past few days.

@flyingtomahawk
I didn't notice the font because I was so excited to open the box. I've checked now though and the NES font was a really nice touch :) - sorry I didn't notice straight away.
Regarding the Famicom, I've stripped it down and cleaned it, and it looks really nice. I may still try some vinyl dye to get it back to a bright white, I have 2 console tops so I have 2 chances to get it right :) . I plan to use the original controllers as well, they're in pretty good condition. The rubber membranes have split (not unexpected for a 30 year old controller) but I've ordered replacements for those so they should function as good as new.

@zerojay @Invader-TAK
I'll add the 25c arcade icon to the USA version of the theme.

@Jampash1996 @S3Nseii
All those systems are planned and on my todo list.

Just want to say thank you for all your hard work on this theme. I know everyone has been asking for everything. Even if you walked away right now...thank you so much!

zerojay

Sharp x68000 would also be nice, thank you. :)

I'm looking forward to a new update, maybe with Scummvm and nes/snes mini. Thank you for the great work.

Can't wait for the Kodi icon, that's the only thing that's missing from this epic-ness!

Yes would love to see something around the nes/snes mini also! ;)
