SNES mini theme

Hi. Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, new systems will be added soon. I have some changes I need to make but then I think what I'll do is add 1-2 new systems per week. I'll ask on here each week so users can vote on which system to add next so that way the most wanted systems are added first.

Is there an option to stretch images as on your Mega-tech theme?Excellent update to the theme.

Not currently as it wouldn't be as useful on this theme as the preview area is a square, on the Megatech theme the preview area is 4:3 so it makes sense for standard 4:3 games.

@ruckage Looking forward! :D thanks for your great work

Thanks a lot ruckage. I think it is the best way to create the best theme for the community.

@ruckage thxs for work, i use your theme in the PI retropie version, and a weeks ago i buy a dell 3020m core I5 to use with retropie, and your theme fits sweet. Many thxs for tour work.

Hi, just made an account to thank you for the work you've done on this, Ruckage - I hadn't touched my pi in over a year but got back into tinkering after pairing your theme with that new Retroflag Superpi case, they really complement eachother nicely.

Regarding other systems, probably not a priority but it would be really cool to have a Mega Drive icon based on the Japanese models and branding, as alternative to the European one you've already done, same same goes for the Mega CD and 32X. Maybe even the Sega Mark III as an alternate for the Master System?

Just a thought, I imagine you want to prioritise those systems without any icon at all for the timebeing.

@ruckage is the sharp x68000 under those systems youre adding? Just wondering if it is...

@nestor1924 @HughJass

Hi. I'm basically open to make whatever systems are requested but it will be based on popularity. I'll probably do a weekly vote and the winning system will get made that week, that way I'll eventually get around to everything but the most wanted systems will be added first.

Hi @ruckage, long time no see!!! Wow man, how this theme gets evolved!!! I'm using the old version that has no grid view. Are you planning add 4:3 support for grid view too? Your theme is THE BEST on my opinion. Congrats for the great work!!!

Would like to throw in another vote for Sharp x68k. It's really one of the best damn things available on the pi! Keep up the great work, @ruckage!

@MapleStory im with you there too man, hope it makes it on the list!

Howdy! Love the theme. I was messing with it, trying to figure out how to get the US snes background and I think I figured it out. If you move the style selector ahead of the background selector, in config.xml, the region variable will be loaded and available.

config.xml

<!-- Choose your theme style (snes_europe or snes_usa or nes_rich_europe or nes_rich_usa or nes_simple_europe or nes_simple_usa) -->	
	<include>./style/snes_usa.xml</include>	
	
<!-- Choose your background (For the available options see the jpg files named ## BACKGROUND GUIDE ##) -->	
        <include>./background/neon_blue_spectrum.xml</include>

I didn't check to make sure it doesn't break anything, but it shouldn't. Hope this helps!

Looking forward to grid view, I've got emulationstation set up on my PC since I was tired of dealing with Launchbox.

Same. Launchbox is so cumbersome and slow. ES with this theme is perfect. :)

First of all, that for the theme, as a 8 bit fanatic this is one of the best themes i've ever seen for emulationstation, goor work @ruckage .

There is only one think that I am missing right now and is a scummvm icon, I would be pleased to create one. Is there any PSD or similar layout to work with?

Thanks one more time!

Here's one I made. This isn't intended as any kind of attempt to finish the authors work, love this theme. You can find instructions elsewhere in this thread to add the image.

Epic!

@ruckage , now that the lr-scummvm libretro core is officially in RetroPie and is really easy to play ScummVM games using gamepads, maybe is a good idea to include support for the scummvm system in the SNES-mini too :)
Your artwork is really nice and this system deserves a chance :)

Hi @ruckage first of all, thank you for this great theme, it is just incredible! I have one question though(excuse my ignorance I am kind of new in retropie). The upgrades mentioned throughout the forum are available on the online version that you can download from ES? For instance the collections misisng icon and background. Thank you so much!

Agreed with this one - These 4 would be a great addition.

I'm sure I can get them added. Time has just flown by the last couple of months and I haven't had much time. As soon as I have the theme ported to Recalbox though I'll begin taking requests to get missing systems added.
