@alphatoanant how will I change the layout of another system (e. g. Arcade) into the snes layout?

@alphatoanant In the control scheme of your theme you have the SNES layout, where B is where the X button is on the ps3 controller and the X and Y buttons are also swapped :D

I made a modification to the theme so it shows developer and publisher info rather than the last played and such. Moved ratings down as well.

@duiz would it be possible to have all six categories shown on the snes layout e.g. Developer, last played, ect.

duiz

@sammyboy It's possible, just a matter of placement and organizing

fastpop72

@duiz could you publish your mods? I'd like to have DEVELOPER and PUBLISHER displayed too...

SammyBoy

@duiz i agree with @fastpop72 please leave your modified file here

Sure!

@duiz Thank you so much!

duiz

No problem!

Is @alphatoanant still making updates to this theme?

fastpop72

@duiz Many thanks!!!

alphatoanant

@duiz yup I am available to work on updates for the theme. Currently I have been testing the addition of controller images to the system view. Been running a test version with them added for the last month or so seeing if they cause any memory issues. Hopefully will have a commit ready for them soon. Thank you for creating a mod that has developer and publisher for the community! I don't have plans to add them to the main theme just yet but I am glad for your help.

@SammyBoy to change the layout of a given system to another one open up the XML for that system and look for a line like this

<include>./../_inc/templates/portrait.xml</include>

There are 3 different templates:

portrait
landscape
default (which is square)

So to change arcade to the layout seen on snes you would open the theme.xml in the arcade folder and change the template in the line above to "landscape.xml"

Since Citra now runs great, could you add a 3DS section to your theme, please?

HurricaneFan

@sp Wouldn't that fall under the NDS theme folder?

SP

No because it's a different system.

alphatoanant

@sp I have added a 3ds theme folder with logo. Let me know how it looks on your end.

SP

@alphatoanant

It looks great. Thank you.

Was wondering if there is, or if there could be, graphics made specifically for Genesis and TurboGrafx-16? I run a fully NA setup, so seeing MegaDrive and PC Engine is foreign for me. As well, it is kinda odd having MegaDrive and Sega CD - rather than sticking with Mega or Sega.

Just wondering - thanks!

@40wattrange Both Genesis and Turbo Grafx 16 are there. You might not see them correctly if your es_systems.cfg have the default system names in it.

Example of Genesis theme value in the es_systems.cfg file:

  <system>
    <name>megadrive</name>
    <fullname>Sega Mega Drive</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/megadrive</path>
    <extension>.7z .smd .bin .gen .md .sg .zip .7Z .SMD .BIN .GEN .MD .SG .ZIP</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ megadrive %ROM%</command>
    <platform>megadrive</platform>
    <theme>genesis</theme>
  </system>
