SNES mini theme

Planetdune

Did one more, the Supergrafx

@Planetdune These look so good!! Any chance of a TurboGrafx-16 CD? Actually on that note, what consoles are missing at this point, and how can I help lol

Brent_Hamel

So I decided to try making it myself, I think it turned out ok, its basically just a recolour of the PC Engine CD Icon. I made the Logo's for this and the SuperGrafx as well. Hopefully they fit in style-wise ok!

Planetdune

@Brent_Hamel Very nice :) I think the big ones missing are the more modern stuff that do have emulators, the Wii, the PS2 and even the PS3 emu is coming along at rapid pace. Oh and the Saturn I believe, would need to check but have a mental note on that system so I'm guessing it is MIA.

is it possible to theme the main menu and options menu in emulation station?
I really want to use the snes mini theme but whenever I press start it completely breaks the look and feel.

if not can you open a github request to allow main menu and options menu theming?

Shadowblitz16

There are a few more issues I have found since posting this.

The boot screen for this doesn't fit the theme at all something about the retropie project
There is no Love2d box art

RetroPie's version of EmulationStation doesn't allow themes for the options or menus. The theme also doesn't provide any help message theme info, so you should disable the help system from the options to get a consistent look and feel.

@Planetdune and @Brent_Hamel thanks for sharing your icons :)

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to configure this theme correctly for Retrobat. My TV's resolution is 1024x768. When I set the theme style to snes_usa and the appropriate resolution, it does not yield the layout I selected (a.xml), which is supposed to list the developer, publisher, and game artwork on the left, the genre, description, and ratings on the right, and the gamelist content in the center. Instead, my screen only shows the content that is supposed to appear on the left side, the gamelist content on the right, and omits everything that should appear on the right. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can fix this problem? Thank you for any suggestions :-).

By the way, I have updated Retrobat to the latest version. If anyone has any input, it is greatly appreciated.

The theme is nice!! I based on the original design of the mega drive system icon and made a Japanese version for my Picade. Please feel free to use them if you are interested.

Hi. Unfortunately the theme only supports layouts in 16x9 resolutions as there isn't enough display space in 4x3 mode to accommodate all of the information. The theme was primarily designed for 1920x1080 displays.

Thank you Ruckage for the quick reply. I also tested this on my Raspberry Pi 3B build on the same TV. It was able to display these items on the left, center, and the right of the screen as they were originally intended. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that the theme itself may not work with the PC build of Retrobat. I also had an issue with text overlapping the boxes on the Futura-V Dark theme. If you can port SNES Mini over or give Fabrice Caruso permission to make the theme work, that would be excellent.

Is there an updated version of this theme? I saw a 3DO icon for it in a 3 year old post. However, i downloaded this theme from github (for the PC version of emulationstation) and 3DO is missing, which makes me think it's an outdated version?

I don't think it supports 3DO, the list of supported systems is listed on the theme page - https://github.com/ruckage/es-theme-snes-mini.

Imgema

@mitu Oh, that's too bad. Seems like the last update was 2 years ago. It misses systems like the 3DO and the Atari Jaguar.

@Planetdune

Could you make an icon for the Saturn please? Browsing through the topic i found more icons for every system (even the SNES CD, lol) but no Saturn.

mikeydoom

@Imgema

You'll have to make one yourself.

Unless you wanna use my icon I made.

Imgema

@mikeydoom

Could i use yours then? Is it somewhere in this topic because i couldn't find any. I would appreciate it.

My skills with pixel art isn't great.

@ruckage Hey there, just trying your theme with a CRT setup and noticed when I added the Odyssey 2 system... that the images in your theme are named "odyssey2", which is perhaps why they aren't showing up for me...? I know "videopac" is the proper name for that system. The images for other themes I have installed work fine (except for Frotz/ZMachine but you don't have that one at all). I tried to make a quick change to the videopac name to those image files to test this out, but didn't have permission, so I figured I'd speak up. I assume the NES mini theme is your creation as well, but I haven't tried that one yet to see if the same naming exists there.
