        Did you update your gamelist.xml files to add video and marquees tags?

            In my snes folder, I have a gamelist.xml and a oldgamelist.xml after adding the script from your guide "https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6589/easy-way-to-add-video-and-marquees-tags-in-your-gamelist-for-video-support"

                Download this file and replace the one inside oldroom folder.

                http://www.mediafire.com/file/ssdccksyr1h8mil/oldroom.xml

                You will see the players on bottom of gamelist. I think i'll leave it there for future updates.

                Enjoy.

                    This theme is exactly what I'm looking for. It looks great and it appears lots work is going on in this space. Thanks @Nismo and everyone who's contributed. Before I download and get started tinkering I'm just curious if there is an update coming really soon? I'd like to make sure I have the latest before getting started.

                      @zmanz the latest one it's on first post, I fixed some things and added some systems time ago, but not uploaded yet because I need to resize the backgrounds in 1080p and 720p and I want to add some more system and upload some videos.

                      I have been in the hospital, I have had surgery recently and now I am taking rest, that is why I have not been able to update this thread.

                      regards.

                                @Nismo take care man!

                                If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

                                  Hello,
                                  I don't know why but I can't get SNES system rom list to work properly. I don't have videos and the interface is not the right one. I've removed all theme and gamelist files but it's not working.
                                  What can I do ?
                                  Thank you :-)

                                      I'm struggling with this theme. I have the latest version of all the software on retropie and I have added the roms to the roms folder under home/pi/RetroPie/roms and it shows the system with the correct background. When I go to the system (e.g nes) to view the games its only showing the background image and layout from the art folder not the correct system folder. I see from your original post to put everything under the .emulationstation/roms folder but if I do this the system doesn't show up at all. Please help as I really want to get this sorted. Thanks

                                        Also I'm not sure if its Mega that's having problems but most files from the media pack stop at 99% and the download is really slow. I have checked my internet connection and its fine and I can download other files from my cloud drive on mega and I get full speed and it downloads fine.

                                          I always need to wait after mega download completion because it need to decrypt the files ;-)
                                          Maybe you should wait longer ?
