      @folly it's pretty standard for projects wanting changes grouped into single commits, but squashing commits is a 1 minute job in the command line once you know how. i know it's a pain but i encourage you to learn git on the command line: https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial - it's a useful skill these days!

        If I get a good or at least reasonable pull request put in for adding pico8 to Carbon, will it take months or years to be merged in? I see other PRs sitting there a long time.

          Well it seems I did manage the squashing part, but the pushing part did't work
          Thanks for giving me the link, I will look into it deeper.
          Hopefully I will get the picture ;-)

            Please, do continue, otherwise we don't get any further and that would be a shame as we are almost there.
            I think the pico-8 will be accepted much sooner than other systems.

              You have to force push like a Jedi in order to rewrite history like that.

                This is what happens when I try to load emulationstation on Windows.

                So I guess something about how the Windows version draws SVGs is messed up.

                  Can you share your controller.svg ?
                  Let me see how it looks on Linux.

                    I tried it on RetroPie and it looks correct on there. Just not on Windows. Weird.

                      Not sure what the problem is.

                      I had a look at the system.svg .
                      I can pop out all objects so it seems to be a pure .svg .
                      Nevertheless vector images and inkscape can be a pain.

                      Are the other systems looking good on windows ?

                        The Windows version I set up only had SEGA Genesis and Super Mario War which looked OK.

                          @benmclean are you running retropie on windows or is it just emulationstation ?

                          You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

                            It was just the emulationstation portable build for Windows provided in the tutorial of how to make your own themes.

                              The hold-up at this point is the controller.svg. I'm going to try a few different things to decide what looks best before submitting the PR.

                              I might also want to do TIC-80 and LowRes NX soon-ish.

                                @benmclean lr-tic80 has now been merged to Retropie-Setup so having a TIC-80 icon would be great! TIC-80 already has icons in the Cygnus Blue Flames theme, so it'd be good to have on Carbon as well.

                                  PICO-8 has been merged too ;-)

                                  @dmmarti can you add this information in your first post ?

                                  Lowres-nx should be the next one.

                                        Some quick notes: I got in touch with the LowRes NX guy via email to get his vector artwork and also have discovered that TIC-80 uses this font.

                                            I'm doing TIC-80 before LowRes NX because it's going to be easier.

                                            Like with Pico8, I'm using the default color palette for TIC-80 carts on the logo and I'm changing it to add a border so that it will have sufficient contrast to be readable against any background. But I'm conflicted on how thick the border on the TIC-80 should be.
                                            Do you prefer system.svg
                                            system.svg
                                            or system2.svg?
                                            system2.svg

                                            The TIC-80 controller.svg was pretty easy:
                                            controller.svg
