      Hola @nj180grados, yo ya estoy trabajando en la traducción, y mi nivel tampoco es muy alto. Ahora estoy traduciendo los paneles de información por que no tienen mucho texto y un par de descripciones (de momento solo NES, Dreamcast y Arcade). Si quieres puedes colaborar conmigo y así se termina antes. Aquí esta el issue que abrí para colaborar, tal y como pide @darknior : https://github.com/Darknior/RVGM-ES-Theme/issues/1

      English:
      Hi @nj180grados, i working on the spanish translation, and my english level It's not too high.

Here is the issue i opening to colaborate, as requested @darknior : https://github.com/Darknior/RVGM-ES-Theme/issues/1

        @son_link @nj180grados Thanks guys :D
        It is not important ton translate the description 100% same in Spanish. I don't like some of my description write some years ago, and i will take the time to write better version. Like this week i've updated with a real good text the two AMIGA, two MSX and two PC DOS theme :)

          @darknior Any chance you can add the MSU1?

          alt text
          alt text

          Manufacturer: byuu
          Type: Game Enhancement Chip
          Generation: Fourth
          First Release: September 5, 2010
          Media: Flash Cart
          Controller: 8 Button Gamepad, Light Gun

          Description: Designed by byuu to be originally used with the SNES emulator bsnes, MSU1 is an enhancement feature allowing Super Nintendo games to run CD audio and video streaming. This allows for games to make use of redbook audio soundtracks and FMV sequences, much like the SEGA CD. The purpose is to deliver features to match the plans of the original SNES Playstation hardware. Over time, the MSU1 has been made available across several emulators, and also on the SNES itself via the use of the SD2SNES flash cartridges.

            @duiz thanks a lot for informations and english description. For manufacturer i will be more accurate, and write "Nintendo, Sony" and like for media, there are CR-Rom first.
            Yes i plan to add it later because i don't have time for the moment to work on my MSU1 set. Many many games but not all really excellent, i want to make a selection that have a real interest. If not i prefer to play on the original SNES.
            I will try to add it faster.

            For the moment i'm working on :

            • Merge the Spanish translation of @son_link and generate all the INFO files.
            • x68000
              New background and sprite
              Update the computer photo with controler.

            0_1521936617526_x68000.jpg

            • Videopac G7000 new theme (better)

            0_1522421732018_screenshot-fr.jpg

            • Atari ST added

            0_1521980496879_atari-st.jpg

            • Update all XML files to remove not used controller images.
            • Add default image for all the TAGS with a language variable.
            • Update almost all description ...
            • Add 3 news systems

            Supervision not supported yet by Retropie
            0_1522104710282_screenshot-fr.jpg

            Commodore Vic20
            0_1522104766686_screenshot-fr.jpg
            Commodore PET
            0_1522421579745_screenshot-fr.jpg

            • Update many image variant for Logo and Console : Snes, SG-1000, Genesis, 32x, etc ...

            For these console & computer images, these logo, i search help if you have some of them i miss.
            For exemple i have the 32x on Genesis 1 & 2, same for japanese megadrive, but i only have it on Megadrive 2 for europe.
            Thanks

            • And i began to make a LIGHT VERSION of the theme to make it lighter, using less memory and working better on PI.

            All of this at same time take me many time ... i would like to release all of this quickly.

              @darknior A really great theme ! Thanks for all your hard work.

              On Vic 20, if I may give you a suggestion, I'd use Demon Attack, Jelly Monsters or Radar Rat Race art as background as these were the most famous (or "iconic") games on that home computer.
              I owned it as a kid ;-)

                @duiz ... sorry i change all you give to me, but i have made some search and for me the console is not MSU1, It's the Super Disc System. With an MSU1 chipset to add FMV and CD-Rom audio support. And i prefer describe the system and his story, not really the emulator to use it.

                alt text

                It's why i made an SDS theme, but i also made some MSU1 logo you can found on the system directory like ever if you want to change.

                ...

                And then :

                0_1522457889470_snes-msu1.jpg

                I use Killer Instinct because i already made this graphic stuff, and a new Killer Instinct MSU1 pack was release last week and it is really fantastic !!!
                If i can found some time and stuff, i really dream to release an alternate one with Daemon Crest :p

                @UDb23 Thanks a lot.
                I have search for stuff a little, and i think i can only work on Demon Attack or maybe Radar Rat Racer ...
                It's very hard to found what i search if i don't to draw so much ... an image with a good resolution to cut the center Sprite of the theme, and a background that i can let empty of characters. I will try ;)

                It will be many work for me, but i finally found some good ideas for the 3 default game list : All Games, Favorites, Last Played ;)

                I have PUSH a BIG part of all the new stuff on GIT ;)
                Now you can try it.

                  @darknior Thanks for checking the images. I don't want to create additional work for you.
                  As it's available on GIT, if I find time, I could try making the Vic20 background myself. If successful I'll submit it to you.

                              I don't change anything too ... really i don't know.
                              Maybe stand my future update that will fix some other bugs and maybe this one for you ?

                                          Yes it's the problem, but i also made a lite version with only one image by system and it's same, i try to remove transition effect, reduce image size to 720p, etc ... i try many things and there is always the problem of memory and white images.
                                          The problem come from ES and it's really bad, i must open an issue, some one must try to fix this problem ... we have 1Go of RAM and a Quad Core !!!

                                            yes and what I find weird is that some theme that consume very little memory with the latest MAJ consumes much more even on theme HURSTY blue style, did you notice?
