      @SuperMagicom I am trying to get this awesome theme running on my windows ES setup but think the paths must be messed up as I get a load of blank screens and errors like this in my es_log :

      Warning from theme "C:/Emulationstation//.emulationstation/themes/nostalgic/amiga/theme.xml"
      (from included file "C:/Emulationstation//.emulationstation/themes/nostalgic/amiga/../nostalgic.xml")
      could not find file "./${system.theme}/logo.png" (which resolved to "C:/Emulationstation//.emulationstation/themes/nostalgic/amiga/../${system.theme}/logo.png")

      Do I need to edit the paths in the .xml's manually or can I change the variable somewhere to point at the correct theme directory (mine should be C:/Emulationstation/.emulationstation/themes/nostalgic without the extra forward slash)

        @red5ive The theme was designed for use on Retropie but I did the development on Windows EmulationStation version 2.7.4RP I don't think older Windows versions contain the changes made to Retropie ES for carousel support, etc. so they are probably not compatible.

          Thanks for replying.
          I'm using the latest windows build by jdrassa, I thought he had implemented carousel support now but will check.
          I just thought most of the problems were down to that double // on the paths

            This theme is great!
            Will you be adding one for Ports?

              I really like this theme and noticed Ports was missing too. :)

                @SuperMagicom this is amazing, super great work. one question: I have my Megadrive and PC Engine lists set up to show Genesis and Turbografx instead from some thing I did in the past for Carbon and other themes, but it doesn't automatically work for Nostalgic. What should I do to fix? Do I need to create a new Megadrive custom collection from theme via the ES menu and then manually add every genesis game to that collection??

                  Here the theme for mame-libretro and also the marquees (turns black) did not work.
                  Somebody else?

                    Same here.

                    I have made a pull request to fix it + optimize the images, so they load faster.

                        Great theme. Would it be possible to make a "Ports" section cause I have a black screen when selecting it?

                            Brilliant theme. This is my new default. Thank you. One noob question. When it loads it seems to default to Genesis. How did I change that to Mega Drive?

                              @GrantX360 Open Emulation Station's Main Menu by pressing the Start button, then go to UI Settings. There, you can choose the default system under Start On System.

                                Has this been baked into RP yet, or is it still a manual install? @SuperMagicom

                                  @ohmycommodore I just checked to see it was there (since I like it and wanted to install it). It's on the theme list (Number 124 on my list). Just make sure you update your install script.

                                  My only complaints are 1) that it's 6:9 only and not 4:3 compatible. The images are stretched on a 4:3. I am still using it, though, because it's great. And 2) it doesn't have an entry for C64 yet. =)

                                      @Clyde thanks for the response. This isn’t quite what I meant. In the standard RP theme the Mega Drive is called Mega Drive. If I switch to this theme it is called Genesis. Any way to switch that back?

                                        @GrantX360 Ah, now I see that I did misread your question. :) Alas, I don't have any knowledge about theme building. I think though that the Genesis/Mega Drive thing is hard coded into the theme and you would have to change it in its code. Maybe someone with more insight in these matters can answer that.

                                        Happy new year!

                                          I love your theme, thank you very much, have you though creating your own video splash screen for it?
