SNES mini theme

[DanrDiaz]

Hi, I'm new to this theme of changing the background and that thing of emulationstation, and I want to know how to install this theme to my Raspberry pi.
Also great job doing this theme, its incredible.

Thanks.

@danrdiaz The theme is available in the RetroPie system, through the ES Themes menu, you can install from the list and then choose it in the Emulationstation menus.

@mitu Tnx

Would it be possible to include a ScummVM icon of some sort? I would love to make this my new default theme, but I would need ScummVM not to be a blank. Love you all!

Hey, man. Since @A12C4's GridView just got finished and pushed to EmulationStation's
master (a.k.a. its development) branch, are you going to implement it into your themes? If you wanted to, the "THEMES.md" file on the ES repo has already been updated with the new GridView syntax.

Thanks.

Sure will, I've been working on it the past week. I didn't realise it had been officially released, that's good news. Expect an update soon (probably not until next weekend though as I have family visiting).

Well done for winning the case, and glad you like the theme - it's a perfect match for the nespi case. The nes mini theme thread is here if you need it: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8391/cardboard-mini-nes-nes-mini-and-famicom-mini-themes

There will be an update for both of these themes soon to add grid support (either as a grid or as a carousel style single row) so you'll be able to get even closer to the look of the nes classic if you like.

Here's a test screenshot showing the beginnings of the carousel mode on the snes theme:

@ruckage ok so the search was finding the cardboard mini. I didnt realize that was the correct post. Thanks. And the carousel mode is looking sweet.

@ruckage lookingnsweet Ruckage, i have one question, the Sharp x68000 doesnt have a console icon on your theme, will you ever implement one? Sharp x68000 runs well on retropie and easy to set up, hope is not a console to forget

[kafka_esq]

@ruckage That looks really good! Did you manage to implement the same look for the system select screen? I am blown away.

I also just received my NESPi case+ in the mail today, but in my case (heh, heh), I bought it off of Amazon.

@pokeengineer i put a 30mm fan and the kintaro heatsink in mine for maximum cooling.you can only put 1 screw in the fan because of the size of the kintaro heatsink but it has a place for it so it doesnt budge.

[ruckage]

Thanks for the replies.

Sure, I'll add it to the list.

No, unfortunately I cant get the same effect on the system select as that's using the carousel and that works differently. The grid view is a new addition which only works on the gamelist currently.

I'm guessing you would like Sega Saturn added - I'm sure there must be a nicer way of asking than shouting the system name at me .

[ruckage]

A quick update, I've been working on mock-ups for the grid layout. Currently I have 3 different versions (but may add more) which you'll be able to choose from in the config file. For the first release the grid view will most likely only be supported in 16:9 screen modes.

Awesome work ruckage, love so much nes mini theme, you plan to add Kodi support?
