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 :)

Thanks for the reply guys, i got a bit excited the themes dope as. 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? Also the list would of been longer :) i was going through it at 3am thought i excluded all, sorry.

@wallmachine
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?

(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!

@movisman
I miss this post!
I try to open and download the link but it gets me an error, can you paste the content here so I copy and paste on the post?

@sam85461 Post the ES log from ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt. How did you install the theme ?

[Sheyk90]

Hi! I love your theme @chicuelo but I use Recalbox in my raspberry...Could you adapt your theme to Recalbox? Thanks.

[bartleby007]

Great theme! But how can I add the power menu for this? Pls help

[movisman]

@chicuelo

No worries! The file is still there, but I forgot I could use something like pastebin or similar instead, so here you go:

edit: sorry, missed the post from @cosmo0 with a pastebin to my proposed text already! :) either of these will work!

Cheers!

@sheyk90
Hey! Im going to see if I could take the theme to the recalbox platform

[chicuelo]

@bartleby007

I downloaded a script from here!

@movisman @cosmo0
Thank you guys!

[sam85461]

@mitu i'm using the emulation station update from this form and i downloaded the folder and pasted it into the themes folder

[mitu]

@sam85461 You don't need to do that anymore, the theme is now available from the RetroPie script themes section, so you can install it like any other theme.

@sam85461 I had the same issue with portable game station. Just go HERE and download the file "EmulationStation-Win32.zip". Unzip the contents over top of your existing ES files.

In a nutshell, your windows port of ES is too old to support the <origin> tag in the theme.xml files of this theme as well as many others. Since a lot of newer themes use this tag, you should really update ES no matter what.

Hope this info helps you.

Hey @chicuelo !
I have opened an issue on your Github so you can easily track the still-missing main systems: https://github.com/chicueloarcade/es-theme-Chicuelo/issues/26

I am finishing my arcade manager app, and I'm currently thinking about doing "game series" for your theme.
I am thinking about how to best represent the various "evolution stages" of the series. I was thinking about something like a theater stage, with red curtains on the left and right, black background behind, and several characters, or maybe the same one in several versions, highlighted by a spotlight above.
What do you think ? :)
