I made this Splashscreen Video based on the Loading Screen made by @ruckage and the original NES Intro Startup if somebody is interested:

@malixx Thanks a lot :)

@malixx WOW, just what I allways wanted (seriously), it only needs that bleep when loading the disk and I will use it as my boot screen with not doubt

[Malixx]

@sergioad Thanks! Well I could make a version with that bleep if you find it (actually I don't know what you are talking about :p)

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)

@livefastcyyoung just open the icon file in photoshop and change the color. save and done.

@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.

[Super Retropie]

@livefastcyyoung... @ruckage does an AMAZING job on his themes! I love how customizable he's made them for us. I usually try to handle little things like color changes and regional variants of his systems for myself so that he can tackle the important stuff for his themes. That guy's an artist!

It's an easy change so I've added them as optional extras to the theme so they will be available in the next update. I'll do the same for the Snes theme as well with the advantage that they will automatically show if you set the region to USA in that theme. In the meantime here are the updated images if you want to use them. I left the background itself blue as that matches the dreamcast packaging in the USA.

@ruckage Yr the best. :)

@ruckage

I was going to ask about that a while back, but I forgot... Thank you.

[dudumaroja]

this theme is amazing.. thankyou very much @ruckage ...

i have two sugestions.. some system should get a new background image.. some are simple boring next to others.. like nes and atari.. just plain boring color.. next to master system and mega drive. they look ugly

and the other sugestion whould be a set of borders to use as overlay to match the theme.. it whoukd make the retropie look even better

I need help setting up a custom layout.

I am messing with 4x3setup.xml (for a 4:3 CRT monitor) and I can't get it done like that:

I don't need the "rating/played/player" bar at the bottom of the artwork, I'd like a single "genre" banner instead like in the mockup I made above.

Will PSP Minis be added as a separate system?

@johnodon He's said a handful of times he had no plans for separating them.
