SNES mini theme

sleve_mcdichael

@FistfulOfDice the config file is at /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/config.xml. There are two (2) problems with this location:

it is not accessible by the network share (\\retropie)
it requires root access to modify

Both of these can be remedied by copying the entire snes-mini folder into your ~/.emulationstation/themes folder. This copy of the theme will be used first, if it exists; also it is on the network share, and it may be freely edited by the regular user without root access. Make sure the themes folder exist at the location first (it doesn't, by default; you have to create it with):

mkdir -p ~/.emulationstation/themes

...then copy the snes-mini folder there with:

cp -r /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/ ~/.emulationstation/themes/

...then, the config (and the rest of the theme) should be accessible on the network share from your PC, at:

\\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\themes\snes-mini

Did anyone ever make a "Coleco ADAM" icon for this theme?

Hello, I am currently doing a few modifications to the snes mini theme for my personal retropie and I am wondering if anyone made a pixelated ScummVM logo that matches the other system logos found on the bottom left of the game list that matches the theme? I added a link to an example of what I am talking about. I already created a custom background and main page icon for ScummVM, but I just need a bottom left logo. I found a basic png one on the web, but its too small and doesn't match the pixelated style as the other consoles. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated :).

Sounds kinda like a two-birds/one-stone kind of situation.

Or, makoffee's PR on the repo includes a ScummVM logo.

Just to inform, the issues with this theme fixed recently and it's not neceserry to modify the files anymore, see: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3813 . Thanks for the fixes!

I think it was just a mock-up. @ruckage hasn't visited the forum in a long time and I don't think you'll get an answer from them any time soon.

Hi!

I'm looking for the pixelated Neo Geo CD logo. Does anyone have it and can share it?

Thanks!

I have used the following site for a similar project:

https://giventofly.github.io/pixelit/#tryit

This the original logo:

And pixelated it:

Thanks @looper,

But i was talking about the logo with this icon that was shared in this thread:

And I was looking for something similar to this one (to keep things consistent with the overall theme):

Bye!

If anyone still out here creating assets for this theme, it'd be great to have a logo and icon for the CD32 console. Pretty please?

I recently got a old CRT and managed to get everything to work beside the theme.
I've changed the resolution in layout.xml file from 1920x1080 to 800x600 and I've also tried 640x480.

But looks super weird inside the system menus. Anyone know how to fix this so it aligns? The name of the games are outside the black bars. And also the information under the box art is off. And the black bar for the game names looks like it gets cropped to the right?

You'll have to edit the theme .xml file(s) and align some elements, so it's not so simple. Due to the theme breaking with newer EmulationStation versions, we do have some fixes added to make it work better, but seemingly not all resolutions have this fix working 100%.

What resolution is the screen in your screenshot ?

@mitu

Thank you Mitu. I read earlier in the post and changed the xmls
Its 800x600px and my xmls are like this now:

800x600.xml
<pos>0.421 0.216</pos>

4x3setup.xml

Have not used any calculator or did any maths xD
But these seems to work fine with my 800x600 4:3 setup.

Still feels a bit cropped to the right. Would like to have the black bars ended before the screen.

@sleve_mcdichael I could use one for FM Towns Marty as well.
