        @darkray007 You can use as many emulators as you want, but they all have to be supported by retropie. If you make some searching you will find which platforms you could run.

        I have only designed some systems, not all but yet a big list. If you want to display some missing systems you will have to manually add to the theme creating the folder, xml file and background + controller files.

          @darkray007 This is a fake indication system. It really works but it only displays an image in each system.
          Inside the theme folder there is an indicators folder, you have to name each file matching the order of your systems order.

          The image with the first dot must be your first system and so, and if you want 30 systems you will have to edit the images and create 30 images with 30 dots (one for each system).
          To understand better this you can go to the themes github page and read the documentation.

          Hope it works for you

            Sorry to revive such an old topic. I don't know how to code, but I'm more than happy to help you testing your theme if you are willing to share it.

            Español (Spanish):

            Chicuelo, disculpa por revivir un tema tan viejo pero, aunque no puedo ayudarte en la parte del código, estoy mas que dispuesto a ayudarte con la parte de testeo. (esto es extra), pero siempre he sido fan de tus temas, y aunque tenía un montón de tiempo sin usar Raspberry o EmulationStation, ver esta versión me hace quererlo (saludos :) . Tengo Raspberry Pi 3 Model B y Raspberry Pi 4 para testear (probar). Muchas gracias por tu trabajo. ¡Saludos!

              @Diablo-Loco Gracias! Por suerte pude desarrollar el theme y lo tengo funcionando en batocea. Tiene algunas funciones que retropie no soporta asi que migre todo a esta plataforma

                Hi, I am using EpicNoir on my steam deck and I have 1 system that wont show the poster for some reason. Astrocade (astrocde) is only showing black, any idea ?

                I have checked the files again and again to make sure everything point to the right place but I can't find anything that would prevent it to work as intended.

                  @Poligon Which front end are you using? I am sure astrocade is not present on the theme, so when its selected there is no artwork to show. You could create an image for Astrocade (controlle and poster) and the corresponding theme.xml

                    @chicuelo I use Emulationstation installed through Emudeck. And Astrocade is there in your theme and in Emulationstation. This morning I tried renaming the poster to astrocade instead of astrocde and now the poster show up but not the text elements. So it must have something to do with the system naming in my version of Emulationstation. I'll try playing further with the theme.xml of astrocade later today.

                    Update: I changed the folder name to astrocade in the themes folder and now everything works!

                      @Poligon I see. in the files i have astrocade is not present. But in the github directory there is a folder named "astrocde". Maybe my partner who is hosting the theme with his Github created one. I see that the main folder is wrong named and you have to rename. Also the poster astrocade.jpg wich is a version of puzzle categories.
                      I see also see that the controller for this system is missing.

                      If you rename the folder and the poster properly you will have the theme running excepting the controller. You will have to place a png file on the controller folder with the exact size of the other controller files

                        @chicuelo All those system descriptions are a nice touch. Did you write those all out by hand, or scrap and compile them somehow?
