      Hey @mattrixk do you still have that es_system package around that i uploaded for you a while ago? I accidentally lost mine and I'm to lazy to redo that. So if you still have it, it would be nice if you could reupload it.

        @ectoone Sorry mate, my brain is like a sieve and I have pretty bad memory problems, so I don't actually remember what you're talking about. What was different about the es_system file you gave me?

          @mattrixk It was modified to reduce the amount files you had in the toolkit. It was set up to use the same 4 gamelists for all systems.

            @ectoone I found it and put it in the public folder of my dropbox:

            Let me know if you have troubles.

                Sorry to resurrect such an old topic but I don't find anything about this anywhere else. I'm having trouble starting the ES bat files. I've placed ES under C:\ but when I try to start any of the bat files I just see a cmd window quickly flashing by and then nothing happens. Any idea why? @mattrixk

                I'm total noob with building themes but I want to make a custom one for my office as we are in the making of building our own acade machine, and thought this helper would be great to use.

                    Doesn't seem to be any spaces: C:\emulationstation is what I get when I copy/paste the path

                      @saibam Your kit is incomplete, the Readme file says that you need to download the Windows Emulationstation version. Go to https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases/ and download the latest release, then unpack the .zip contents into this folder so it looks like the image below.

                        @mitu Thank you! Looks like I misunderstood the kit, I thought it was complete to just run. Now I feel stupid missing that in the Readme :P
