Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

[Vega]

Hello! ETA Prime brought me here I tried installing this theme via his instructions. Which i used winSCP to go inmy retropie backend, I placed the nes mini theme in my emulationstation/themes folder. I went back into my Retropie i saw Nes Mini theme was there i selected it but when I cruise the theme its just blank white background/black text. i scrolled through my emulators and it was like this for all of them while using this theme. Can you provide any help on getting this running?

Have you made sure when you extracted the zip that you only copied over the theme folder itself? It could be when you extracted the theme it extracted to a folder within a folder if that makes sense.

The base folder should be called 'es-theme-nes-mini-master' and inside that should be lots of folders for all the systems.

If you open 'es-theme-nes-mini-master' folder and inside is another 'es-theme-nes-mini-master' folder that's wrong and won't work.

Not sure if I'm being very clear but I hope it helps.

Sometimes you have to restart EmulationStation before the theme will work.

@ruckage as others I was made aware of your theme by ETA prime's youtube video and I really like it!

I wanted to ask if it was OK to include it in my project. I make a compilation of LE+Lakka+ES (and other stuff I add) for Amlogic s905 devices and I would like it to be the default ES theme if its OK with you.

it is of course non-commercial, here is the link to the project https://github.com/shantigilbert/LibreELEC.tv

Thank you!

Thank you!

As long as it's not for commercial use and I'm credited somewhere and it's not modified in any way then that will be fine. Please make sure the readme which includes my license terms and link to this forum is also included.

Thanks for asking before using the theme, I appreciate it.

Doh!

That was actually on the list, I must have deleted it by accident. I'll re-add it.

I've actually updated the first post in the topic with useful theme information such as todo lists and downloads so it's easy to find now.

[shantigilbert]

@ruckage Thank you!

Yes it is non-commercial and will always be like that.

Is it OK if give credit on the release notes?

[ruckage]

Thought I'd show the progress being made for the next version. I have some bugfixes I'd like to make before releasing it but in the meantime here's a GIF showing the new systems (Virtual boy, Ports, Atari Lynx, SG-1000, and PSP).

@dankcushions

If you'd still like to add this to the Retropie theme manager it's on Github now. Not sure If you'd want to add it now or when the next version is ready as that will fix a few minor bugs.

@ruckage man! The Virtual Boy and PSP looks great. Thanks for all your hard work.

I agree, those two are particularly impressive.

This is certainly the greatest ES theme ever, and getting better day by day. I'm using it in a NES Classic clone project and everything is looking great.

@ruckage , when you are finished with the theme, could you also provide "runcommand launching images" even if they are made via the script in this topic? https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7193/runcommand-launching-images-for-any-theme

They would certainly be a great addition to the neatness of the theme once it's done. ^_^

[ruckage]

Finished another system - this one was fun to make :) .

Sure, obviously it will be one of the last things done though as getting systems added is more important.

@ruckage

Unique, appropriate and gorgeous.

@ruckage
I can't remember if it was discussed already but are you going to do something more with the carousel?

[felleg]

@ruckage Are you a graphic designer? wtf this looks so professional, my mind doesn't understand! Keep them updates coming! AMAZING work.
