      @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

            @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.

                Don't sweat it.

                  @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.

                    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 .

                      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.

                          @ruckage It look really nice, love what you have done with my sweet little grid view.

                          By the way, you can make it so the last row is truncated (or the last column if the grid is scrolling horizontally). I think it could look nice in your first mock up (the one row horizontally scrolling grid).

                            Looks incredible! I really love the third option. Just wish it had the title displayed somewhere but am not sure where to suggest it could go.

                              Thanks for the reply. I had experimented with having the edge tiles truncated with the carousel style as that would be the ideal look but unless I'm missing something that only seems possible with the very last column which means it would only be truncated on the right hand side and the grid wouldn't be centred. I can enter a negative x position to centre it but then the first item on the list is never fully displayed on the screen. Is truncating at both the beginning and end of the list possible in some way?

                              Thanks. Glad you like the larger grid view, I think for big lists of games especially that would be a much more useful way of navigating. I'd like to get the game title in that view as well, I think maybe replacing the publishing information with the game title would be a good option.

                                No, that's not possible at the moment. I had some plan on making the cursor movements more "realistic", by that I mean the grid would only scroll when you come close to one of the borders, instead of this dummy algorithm currently used : "cursor is always centered unless you are close to the beginning or the end".

                                I already gave it a few tries but I couldn't came up with something that truly satisfy me. So it's still planned but don't expect it to come anytime soon, there is better features on my todo list that are way less of an headache.

                                  No problem and thanks for the confirmation. I like the truncation but it doesn't look right for my theme if it's not centred so I'll stick to my original plan for now.
                                  I can't wait for some of the features you've mentioned on the forum and in the wiki such as having videos and metadata in the grid tile and hopefully smooth scrolling/sliding tiles will also be implemented at some point as that would look amazing.

                                    I really like this view, would it be possible to customize it to remove the following:-

                                      Option 1 would be great without the meta data.

                                        @sp i think the metadata looks great in my opinion, makes it unique
