      @backstander That's a really good catch. I need to make sure it's the same as Carbon. Let me make that change before I upload this.

        Ok, made the change to Turbo Grafx CD; made the Pixel directory reflect Carbon's "tg-cd" so now you don't need to edit your es_systems.cfg. Thank you very much for bringing that up.

        And with that, Pixel goes to v1.92 with SNK NeoGeo MVS and PC Engine CDROM. Download updated on the main post. (up there at the top, or I guess here. Hang on let me get the link again.)

          Thanks @Rookervik great work but I found another small issue. Carbon has "pce-cd" and Pixel has "pcecd".

          Also I didn't realize you had Pipplware support! That's awesome! I've been wanting to give Pipplware a try!

            @backstander Pipplware is, sadly, now obsolete. There hasn't been an update since RetroPie 3.7. And trying to update your Pipplware distro with RetroPie 4.0.3 doesn't work too well.

            I'll jump in and change PCE-CD as well. Thanks for this diligent bug checking. I can draw these stupid graphics, but I have terrible organizational skills.

            UPDATE: Ok, it's updated. Didn't bother making a new version. Just re-download the same link and it will have the fixed PC Engine folder. Thank you again. :D

                Been a long time coming. I am sorry it took me forever. Pixel theme with metadata... instead of system art and information. I made the screenshot/boxart smaller and brought the bar up to make more room for metadata. All tags are included for all of you lovely OCD people. :P

                  @Rookervik I wish I had a more efficient way of utilising assets for different ES theme varyations. There are a bunch of themes and variations from you that get lost in the weeds perhaps I should set up a few more repos...

                    @herb_fargus Eh, everyone wants something different from a theme. I don't have too many. Luminous, Luminous Mini, Pixel, Pixel TFT, Pixel with Metadata... isn't that it? Really just 2 themes with a couple variations. And from what I know, only Pixel is available in the downloader isn't it? People can just get them on the forum.

                      @Rookervik Perhaps. well I may set up a few of them on github just so I don't lose track of them if that's cool with you.

                        @herb_fargus yeah, that's fine. I should probably think about setting up a site or something for my various customizations. Different themes, splash screens, movies, runcommand screens, kodi art, stuff like that.

                        But in case we're too far off topic, Pixel now has a meta data version. Check a couple posts above, or the main post at the top for a download link. Let me know if it's not lined up or something. And "not lined up" I mean really far off. Haha. Metadata is a B to align in ES.

                            @Rion Carbon has support for ES-kids but it didn't work from what I was told. The author of that version of ES never got back in touch with me so there's no way I know of to get it working. :(

                              @Rookervik: Pixel with metadata? Woo! This makes me happy!

                              @Rion: I created MetaPixel based on Rook's original Pixel theme because I liked it but wanted metadata. I also wanted something that worked with Zigurana's child-friendly ES, so I got that working too.

                                @mattrixk You'll have to give me a little insight with the child friendly. Zigurana said that Carbon's child-friendly icons weren't showing up even though I followed the instructions from his thread. But then he never got back in touch with me. So I'm in the dark. Especially not having child friendly available

                                  @Rookervik I can have a bit of a play with the Pixel theme and let you know how I go. No guarantee on when though. We just back from holiday and the house is a mess, lots of washing to do etc. It will be while before I get some time to myself.

                                    We are missing the European "Sega Mega-Cd Model 1 & 2" from Pixel theme. :)

                                    And Sega-CD Model 2 with is the same as Sega Mega-Cd but with the name Sega-CD on top.

                                          @Rion Mega-CD added. There will be no model 2. Just as there won't be a Commodore 128, or a Turbo Express and others. :P
