      Was just having a quick look to see if I could find controllers for any 'partially' supported systems, and it's really hard to find a Super Famicom controller or Supergrafx one.

      I was wondering if you could take a copy of the other EU SNES controller, and then copy the logo and select/start writing from here and put it in place of the EU SNES logo and button names?

      But that's the only difference between the two controllers (name and button font). Rest is the same I think!

      You can see all three here:
      https://www.flickr.com/photos/mattgemmell/8548671880

      We already have the EU and US ones, just the Famicom one is required.

      The best Supergrafx controller i've found is this:
      http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6L8vOhCmEx0/R8__zD3uUaI/AAAAAAAAC9w/LjzDNAPaLB0/s1600/l_supergrafx_pad2.jpg

      There are others but they are at an angle or lower res.

      I must be looking in the wrong places - these controllers are hard to find decent 'top down' images of!

      What do you think? Or can you not work with these?

      The good news is, once these are complete, I think we have all the main system variations + additional systems people might want to use (except Odyssey 2, which would need to be done at the same time as VideoPac).

      Then it's just a case of finishing the primary systems (MSX, Neo Geo Pocket, etc, etc).

      The readme I made should be fully up to date with what's left hopefully.

      We also need a 'custom collections' bg to finish that theme off too.

      Cheers

        I can use some actual controllers and mix with the right logos and texts so dont worry!
        Im short of time right now but when I have a break I will update those!

            Thank you man! Great stuff.

            The name of the Super Famicom one doesn't match the theme I set up, but let me correct that and raise a PR shortly :)

              PR raised with file deletion and correction, plus readme.md updated to indicate those two systems are fully supported!

              Thanks :)

                Merged! I think the next step is finishing all the remaining systems

                  Thanks!

                  Yes I totally agree. I went off on a bit of a tangent creating the alternative systems, even though I said we should concentrate on the primary systems first :) but most of them just needed a logo creating and a description writing (as character and controller can stay the same), so this was something I was able to get on with myself, with the exception of those couple of controllers you kindly created.

                  Where did you get those from?! I searched for ages for a decent SuperGrafx controller!! Haha!

                  I think the most common ones are complete now for 'alternatives' - which is great, and will make people happy who like to split out their PC Engine stuff into multiple systems or use a Famicom instead of NES, etc.

                  I have tried to keep the readme nice and up to date. The 'partially' supported systems I have listed are the ones which need a controller and/or character creating. I will keep maintaining this as you work towards completion for the artwork. There are so many systems fully supported, it's really great! The theme is so good now, and to get it completed for all systems will be a real achievement. There are a fair few themes out there which are not totally complete - themes like Pixel are really popular because they look good - but also they are complete which can make them stand out from some of the others.

                  Once it's complete, it'll be nice to just do the odd update / enhancement here and there!

                  Cheers :)

                    Great! Hope to complete them all soon.
                    For the controllers I modify a turbografx controller and add the particularities of the supergrafx one, some makeup in photoshop, just like the ones one

                      Ah ha, I see. That makes sense. Looks great!

                      When I get chance I will have another look at the theme.xml to see if there is a 'reasonable' way to render it in 4:3 without having a separate XML file or different images. It won't be perfect but it might at least be usable.

                      Cheers!

                          Ha ha wow. That is a serious amount of systems. This is a theme designed for use in RetroPie. Only systems which are officially part of the RetroPie install and available via the setup script would eventually or already be supported:
                          https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Supported-Systems

                          Some of the systems you mention are so niche and not even anything to do with RetroPie, so we cannot expect @chicuelo to create high quality artwork for all of them, because it would take forever for very very little gain. Some of the systems you mention are already supported.

                          Please see this file for all current fully supported systems and the ones which are partially supported (eg. the ones which will be worked on / finished next):
                          https://github.com/chicueloarcade/es-theme-Chicuelo/blob/master/README.md

                          This is the list being worked from. Once this is done, the theme is essentially complete in terms of bringing it line with other fully comprehensive (complete) themes for RetroPie. Most of the systems you mention above are just not part of the RetroPie install and as such would never be added to the theme, unless @chicuelo disagrees (it is his theme). In my opinion there isn't any point in creating systems for 'WoW Action Max', 'Pop'N Music' and things like that which don't even exist in RetroPie :)

                            Just noticed you updated the first post in the thread with new screenshots - nice.

                            Any chance you can split that jpg up and replace chicuelo1.jpg > chicuelo9.jpg with new images which will then in turn update the readme.md?

                            We cannot use the single image on github because I think there is a maximum size limit. I just tried but it truncates it.

                            Maybe we could put some information from the new readme.md into the first post on this thread, and possibly link to it for more information:
                            https://github.com/chicueloarcade/es-theme-Chicuelo/blob/master/README.md

                            I am happy to write something brief if you would like.

                            Thanks

                              I think some of them could be on the list, but there are a lot that are not even systems, just collections like Capcom or William ones. The idea is only having playable systems and the one that are more popular and people play usually

                              @movisman
                              Yes, I updated the date and the image refreshed automatically.
                              For the GitHub repo I have 10 separated images, but they don't update because Github saves them on their server, the urls are http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo1.jpg
                              http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo2.jpg
                              like that up to 10 (for now)

                              If you like I would add that info, just tell me what :)

For the systems that wont be supported I'll try my best to create and share them, will you also include the psd or ai files?

                                  Great, feel free to complete the systems you need for your personal use!
                                  In the repo you can find all the separated files so you can easily create the template for the theme, I used photoshop for the visuals and Illustrator for the logos.

                                    Great, I just edited the readme to add chicuelo10.jpg as it only went to 9 before.

                                    Also, the readme was still displaying wrong images for some on my phone and PC, but I checked it out and adding a ? to the URL of each has cleared it up.

                                    My fork looks good now with the up to date images :)

                                    If you accept the PR, it should sort that issue on the master.

                                    Regarding the initial post, I think we could take some info from the readme.md and put it on the opening post, so that people get more information on the theme straight away. I'll put something together and provide a link, and you can decide whether you want to paste it in - it might be confusing pasting it all here. I'll mainly just copy and paste some sections from the readme I wrote.

                                    Thanks!

                                      Hey,

                                      How about this?
                                      https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Woa_RFNSsloA3KdzAaR_oiDxm3da7UeR

                                      (text file - if you just copy and paste the content directly into the initial forum post over the top of what's there it should retain the formatting)

                                      Basically a few select 'chapters' from the full readme.

                                      Hope this helps!

                                      Thanks!
