      Is there a animated/video splashscreen that would go nicely with USA theme?

      There are a couple of short splash videos included in the theme directory or you can download them directly from here:

        @ruckage I'm pleased to report that the SNES Mini theme is working just fine in v2.8.0.0 of EmulationStation for Windows from @jdrassa with no visual bugs (there were some quirks last version).

        I've used your theme so much between my own personal projects and builds for friends and family that I felt I should send you a donation, which I did.

        I hope somewhere in the future, the next time you're adding new graphics, that you might add icons for some later systems that work on Windows/Linux but not RPi such as Saturn, Dreamcast, PS2, GC, Wii and Wii U. (I would attempt to make my own graphics but I feel I would not match your style exactly).

          Thanks very much for the donation, I really appreciate it. I will consider adding some more modern systems but I really have to get the rest of the rpi supported systems finished first. Dreamcast is actually already included though.

            @ruckage Just donated too, enjoy a beer or two on me! I hope you can come back to this project soon. Your themes are awesome. I use your snes theme on one pi and your nes theme on the other. If/when you ever come back to these projects it would be great if you could add Apple II and TurboCD (using PCE CD currently but like the US version better) and add the option of the out of focus game screen pics as a background option for the nes mini theme. Even if you dont I look forward to what ever you come out with next. Thanks for all your hard work!

              Thanks, I haven't received your donation as yet but thanks regardless (did you use the donation link in my signature? ) Glad you're enjoying the themes - and I will be coming back to them so there will be more updates in the future.

                Good to see you around here @ruckage.

                I have since made the move from RPi to PC myself. Still using the RPi for casual play and enjoying the chance to try out more modern systems on the PC.

                I use the NES Mini theme myself but would be willing to contribute to a bounty for work on some of the more modern systems that we have access to on PC when you have some time.

                Hope all has been well! :)

                    Okay, just thought I'd check in case you'd used the link at the bottom of the page (that would donate to the Retropie project itself which would be fine as it's a more than worthy cause).

                    It may be worth just checking your paypal confirmation as payments are normally instant with paypal so it's a bit unusual.

                      Good to hear from you, I'm fine thanks - I've been lurking but just haven't posted much as I've been busy with other things. I want to get some work done on the themes soon though and I need to get them ported to recalbox as I promised I would.

                      I originally only intended to stick to the the pi supported systems but I certainly could add some of the more modern systems as there does seem to be increasing interest in those. (I'm guessing PS2, PS3, Wii, Gamecube, Saturn, Jaguar - any others?)

                      I'm also considering adding NES/Famicom theme support to the Snes theme as due to the customisable nature it shouldn't be too problematic.

                        So you're combining the themes?

                          Possibly though I would still keep the separate nes/famicom themes available as they work better on the older models of raspberry pi. They may also look a bit different once ported over to the snes-mini theme so people may still prefer to use the dedicated nes/famicom themes.

                            @ruckage Why don't you just add the backgrounds and graphics from the NES mini theme to the SNES mini one and have them interchangeable by a variable in the main theme.xml?

                              That is the general idea but I'd also add the borders as an option as well. Also it would need a bit more tweaking as the border size on the snes mini theme is slightly different to the nes mini theme so the backgrounds will need some adjusting to fit (otherwise I probably would have just added them in from the beginning.)

                                Hi again, I think the donation has just arrived (are your initials PR?).
                                Thanks very much, it's very generous of you and it will certainly buy me a few beers :)
                                Cheers 🍺.

                                  @ruckage I logged into paypal this time (tried it before with just a credit card payment) and sent it again. I got a notification this time so it should have gone through. Thanks again!

                                      Hey @ruckage I am loving this theme - It is pretty much the reason I got my old Raspberry Pi (in the lousy 3d printed NES case I had for it) out of the closet and started tinkering with it again. Nearly done making a ground-up image with all my favourite games complete with artwork now and a great tinytendo case!

                                      One problem. I am attempting some minor alterations to the theme and I have had 0 luck.

                                      The feature request I have is that the selected system in the carousel has an overlay image that is a nice bright blue (like the selected item on the games list, or on the official SNES/NES classic).

                                      I definitely intend to donate to you as soon as I'm back from vacation - This theme is amazing and I've been really enjoying using it.

                                        I absolutely love this theme, I’ve been away from the Pi retro scene for a while, but seeing your work has made me sort out my setup and get back into it!

                                        I run both RetroPie and recalbox setups and I would love to see you support the Atari 800 system in this theme. It’s a system I enjoy using a lot :-)

                                        Anyways - fantastic work, really appreciated!

                                          Not a bad idea, it's something I had thought about doing but hadn't gotten around to it. I've made a start and it's working but it will take a little more time before I can release it as I will need to update all the layout files to support it. The border for the selected carousel item matches that used on the gamelist and the colour will change depending on the colour scheme selected. I will add it as an option in the config.xml so that it can be switched off if not wanted. I'll still need to test it on the raspberry pi to make sure it doesn't cause too much extra slowdown.

                                          Here's a preview:

                                            Hi, I'm a big Atari 8bit fan myself - the Atari XE was my first computer (I like your username by the way: Jet-boot Jack was an amazing game, one of my favourites on the system). I've never actually used the atari800 emulator on retropie as it seemed cumbersome (would be nice if there was a retroarch version). I can certainly add the atari800 to my todo list though.
