The only thing I can think to do is to replace accent characters in the font such as é with a standard e. Would this be an acceptable compromise?
Let me know.
Just to reply to this, I find this 100% acceptable. Accents are not worth the trouble, especially if all letters are capitalized (in French, at least, accents are optional on capital letters for that very reason!)

@ruckage
I am sure you have your hands full at the moment with all the requested systems and the Newgen theme ;-)
But if I may add one more to the list, Super Famicom would be one I would love to see.
Thanks.btw. running your theme on a Pi Zero connected to a 42" Full HD TV and all looks good here.
Nice to hear it's working well on the zero. I'll add Super Famicom to the list - nice and easy as it will be the same as the Super Nintendo with just a slightly different logo.

New to this group, I saw this theme and it is great ! Lot of hard work put in to this. Is there any updated one that will support most system. Or at least FBA, MAME and PSX?
Hi and welcome. I released a new version only yesterday but the systems you've listed aren't added yet - give me a little time and I will do my best to get all requested systems added.

Thanks for that - I had no idea accents were optional for capitals, it's good hear my compromise isn't much of an issue.

where can I download it?

@ruckage hey man, just out of curiousity did you create or document the build on your cardboard mini? I know the thread kinda went towards your theme (which kicks ass by the way) but I really dig your case.
-
i finally got round to testing this after a busy week,
ruckage, you have done an amazing job on this theme :)
-
I've just came across some more accurate NES/Famicom fonts:-
emulogic & press-start-2pthe letter "O" in these new versions is much better.
-
@FlyingTomahawk I have that one it still don't have all console that I need. learning to edit it but its to find logo's and headers. how do add the font on my Mac?
-
I am sure ruckage is doing his best right now to add the missing or wished systems.
I have no Mac so I don't what works and what not. -
Hi everyone, sorry for no replies yesterday, I was visiting family.

Thanks :) , unfortunately I didn't document everything but did take some photos during construction so I'll in the very least add them to an imgur gallery so you can get an idea of how it was made.

Thanks Stuart :). Good catch with the font accuracy (I hadn't noticed - which is bad of me). I can't just directly use those fonts due to the gamelist issues mentioned but what I'll do is edit the existing font to match the NES more closely - I just realised I can use the name entry screen from Zelda to make sure all characters are accurate so that's what I'll do.

Please be patient. There is a lot of work involved in making these themes. It's not just a case of 'find logo's and headers' these are all drawn by hand. I've already added 21 systems which has taken countless hours and I will be adding more but you have to remember this isn't my full-time job and I'm using my own free time to make this.
-
I've edited the gamelist font to match the one used in Legend of Zelda so I think it's as accurate as it will ever be now. It will be included in the next update.
The characters changed were:
G I J L M N O P Q S V W Z - , ' " ! & 0 3 5 8

@ruckage Thank you again for all your hard work, dude!

Thanks, added to the list.

Wow! this looks better than some of the cases made from actual nes cases, I bet the cardboard is more forgiving than hard plastic, thanks for sharing

Don't want to be "that guy," but how do you install it onto RetroPie?
-
Install the themes to themes folder /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes folder, i had to create it, then you can choose it in the emulationstation themes which is in the main menu when you press start, go to ui settings and you can choose it there.

Your case is awesome @ruckage and I love the themes you have created to, Thanks so much for putting all the time and effort into updating and making them available, I'm just embarking on updating three raspberry pi's a 1, 2 and new pi zero w to retropie 4.1 and will use your themes on all of them.
