Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

@ruckage So my theme shares the carousel idea with your theme, (Big square icons instead of logos.) Like this one,

So I would use this code,

• <carousel name="systemcarousel">
  <type>horizontal</type>
  <pos>0 0</pos> <!-- Currently only y value is used -->
  <size>1 .354 </size> <!-- currently only height value is used -->
  <color>00000060</color>
  <logoScale>1</logoScale>
  <logoSize>0.364 0.354</logoSize>
  <maxLogoCount>5</maxLogoCount>
  </carousel>
  But the logo would appear stretched and squashed

First, you only have one value in the <size> tag - that will cause a problem.
Also, you've commented:

<!-- Currently only y value is used -->
<!-- currently only height value is used -->

That isn't true (unless the windows version is totally different but I believe it's based on the same source as retropie.)

Does the same issue occur on both windows ES and retropie ES?
What resolution / aspect ratio are you using?

@DigitalMonkey

Plus adding it to the main menu makes it the first 'system' you see after booting up.

By default, the systems appear alphabetically. Anyone who has any systems before 'K' will still have to scroll to it. I have 39 systems in the carousel with Kodi being one, so it takes me quite a bit to get there.

Strange.

On Mine its the default (first one you see at start up). Didnt do anything special just this - ['Kodi as its own system'] https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/KODI

Have all the console systems installed too.

See my post above. When you added the system to the Es-systems.cfg you must have added it to the top. Systems appear in the same order that they are defined in this file.

@ruckage A few things

<size>1 .354 </size>

It is actually x = 1 y =0.354, the formatting looks weird.

This isn't the actual code, just what I remember of it since it didn't save.
16:9 aspect, running on the pi.

Also that theme looks so clean I'm looking forward to a download

Here's a hint,
This theme is like the flat theme, but i've SWITCHED some things up :)

@lilbud
I'd make your <size> field larger than your <logoSize> field personally.

Ah, I see - didn't notice the space (for clarity I would put 0.354). Not sure why they would appear stretched. Test the theme on the windows version of ES to rule out any problems with retropie (es_toolkit v1.1 by @mattrixk).

If you don't mind uploading it somewhere, even temporarily, I would be happy to check it and see if I can fix the problem for you.)

@ruckage Okay, I fixed the scaling issue, but I've run into a new one.

Is there a way to have a selector scroll on the carousel instead of the logos scroll.

(I guess I can't keep this secret.)

The theme I am making is a Nintendo Switch theme for ES

I want the carousel to move like this:

No, not possible I'm afraid.

@lilbud There is someone doing this in the AM forums,

I've finally finished all the icons and made the carousel images - and it works :D (on windows at least - will try the rpi next).

Here's a video of it in action.

@ruckage
Everything looked really clean.

@ruckage even my wife is impressed with this and she isn't much for gaming

@herb_fargus
Ruckage has won, he achieved the coveted wife seal of approval.

[TMNTturtlguy]

Wow! This is super cool!

[TMNTturtlguy]

@Syhles I didn't even know that was possible! Congrats @ruckage that sure beats the "oh cool" with an eye roll I usually get!

:D
Is there some kind trophy I receive to commemorate this?

[Syhles]

@ruckage
Herb should be in charge of the trophy his wife gave the stamp of approval. Lol

[DragonCrystal]

I cant wait for it when the full thing is ready for the raspberry pi, I'll download it in a heart beat!

[dustloop]

I have a version of this theme from ETA PRIMES channel.

The full carousel version is unreal and I think will be my number 1 theme to use. I cannot wait for the release. It is phenomenal!
