          @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've just came across some more accurate NES/Famicom fonts:-
              emulogic & press-start-2p

              the letter "O" in these new versions is much better.

                  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

                                  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.

                                          @ruckage I think "ports" is missing, too. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Ports
                                          For what it's worth, here's how it looks in the carbon theme:
