Chicuelo Theme

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!

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

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

@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!

@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 ? :)
