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

        Question.
        I have downloaded Portable EmulationStation for Windows and the NES Mini Theme doesn't work. Is there some alterations I have to do for the source code to get it to show up for the windows version?
        Any help would be great.
        Thanks

            @greekmanx The images don't show up for me when I change themes. Was there anything you had to do?

                You have to use the latest version of ES, where are you downloading the portable version of ES from?

                @jdrassa has a repository with a version of ES that is always up to date: https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases/tag/continuous

                  AWESOME!
                  Yes all I needed was an updated version of ES. Thanks so much!

                  Now I just need to figure how to add music to ES for Windows.

                    @ruckage, any chance of an 800 x 480 layout? I know no one ever in the world uses that resolution, but i have an eeePC which uses it and it would be really awesome to be able to use the theme there :)

                                  Hi everyone, just thought I should make a post so you didn't all think I'd deserted you. Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been quite busy but I am reading your posts and appreciate all your feedback. Normal service will resume soon :)

                                  @Malixx Cool splash-video I really like it.

                                  For anyone interested I actually made a couple of splash-videos myself, they're actually included with the Snes-mini theme but suit this theme as well. You can get the from the snes-mini github if you like them. Gif previews and download links are below.

                                      One thing I thought of:

                                      Would it be possible to do a US Dreamcast color scheme? The US Dreamcast had this reddish-orange color as opposed to the blue that you got in Europe.

                                        Hey guys. I was playing around with the snes theme and was able to add the kodi icon in the menu (assuming you already followed the howto guide in the wiki). I looked at the NES mini theme and the process was just about the same as the SNES. If anyone wants to add it simply do the following:

                                        1. Download the NES theme.
                                        2. In the theme's root folder create a folder called KODI.
                                        3. Copy the files from another theme (I copied all the files from the auto-lastplayed folder)
                                        4. Modify the logos and add the KODI logo (use your favorite graphics editor here)
                                        5. Copy the es-theme-nes-mini-master folder to your rpi's theme folder \retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\themes
                                        6. Select the theme called es-theme-nes-mini-master

                                        Here are the modified images (if anyone is interested)

                                            @kal-el-1981 Thanks but I prefer leaving work on this theme to Ruckage. I don’t expect him to get to everything but I figured I’d offer up the suggestion for the different region Dreamcast.
