Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes
-
Hey guys, I was able to install the theme successfully and everything seems fine. The box art for all my games is missing as well as the information on the box that is on the right side. Where do you get the artwork and everything else? thanks!
-
@zulraptor You need to use a scraper to get the box art - Scraper docs - that is not part of the theme.
-
@mitu This scraper is for videos of the game or is for the image of the game?
-
@san7yz Which scraper are you referring to ?
-
@mitu Well, I prefer the image of the box

Hi @ruckage ,
One suggestion:
Edit the font for use not-usefull characters for the following icons (in line with the change "#" for folder icon):
- Some not-useful character for "WRONG" icon (something like a "X" or "!" in a triangle warning icon). This could be useful for marking not-working games.
- Some not-useful character for "MEDAL" icon (or something similar). This could be useful for marking beaten games.
I hope you can considere this.
Thank you very much for such wonderful theme!

@ruckage Do you accept donations? I would very much like support for PC Engine CD and Super Grafx. I realize these can fall under the PC Engine section, but I think of them as different consoles, much like Sega CD and 32X. I would be more than happy to reimburse you for your effort.
The work you have done on these themes is incredible. Thank you very much!

@loopyeddie PC engine CD is already supported.

This would be possible but not sure how useful it would be or what characters could be used. It would have to be a character that isn't usually used in rom titles but also one that can be typed easily on a standard keyboard and that doesn't give many options. Also other than yourself is there a demand for it?

Hi. As @quicksilver said PC Engine CD support is already included. SuperGrafx is on my to do list as well so will be added eventually.
If you'd like to support my work though donations are always greatly appreciated and there is a donation link in my signature. -
Nice to see you around these parts @ruckage. Hope all is well!
-
Hi @ruckage !
Thanks for your answer.
I only plant the seed, and if other people think like me, maybe you can consider for future updates.
Anyway, I am going to put this idea to emulationstation developers. Maybe they can add something similar to the frontend itself.
Regards!

@Loquo That repository hasn't had a commit in nearly a year. I don't think it's still being maintained, although I could be wrong.

Hey @LiveFastCyYoung . I'm fine thanks, hope you are too. I'm in the beginning stages of a bartop arcade build at the moment which will keep be busy for a bit - gotta take advantage of the weather here when we can as we don't get that many months when it's good enough to work outside.

Hi @LiveFastCyYoung ,
Did you know another emulationstation repository where I could send my feature request?
Thankes.
Edit: I have found the fork for RetroPie: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/issues/564 I hope this repository could take in consideration my request.
-
@quicksilver @ruckage I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing the PC Engine CD art resources. I'm looking in "/etc/emulationstation/themes/famicom-mini/" and I see all the other consoles, but no PC Engine CD. Am I missing something?
-
@loopyeddie It's not present in the
famicon-minitheme, only in thesnesandnesmini themes. -
I didn't realise it was the Famicom mini theme you were using, that is missing some of the systems that are available in the nes and snes mini themes.
The plan for the future is that all 3 themes will be combined into the Snes mini theme so that there is only one theme to maintain (it already contains all of the nes mini content).
For the time being though I've uploaded a zip file to mega.nz which contains the PCE-cd theme folder for the Famicom-mini theme.
To use just copy the pce-cd folder contained in the zip file to your famicom mini theme folder.https://mega.nz/#!XwU3gAaA!gzG6AGsCBKJE2eoFiuS8gdZNlinbgtLnp3Z8MKg_uRQ
