      Thanks, glad you like it.
      Amiga is on the to do list so will be added at some point in the future.

        As others have mentioned I would totally use this but it's missing the 1 system I need, the Sega 32X!

        I'm building a NES mini replica system with all the retro consoles and everything is there minus the 32X.

        Outstanding work by the way, I thought I would never stray from Tronky Fran but I love the style of yours and it's much more fitting!!

          There is a to do list in the first post of this thread and 32x is one of the systems on that list, it will be done but I can't say when as themes take a great deal of time to make and its all done in my spare time.

            @ruckage Oh man I can't wait! Now you got me on the edge of my seat for the 32x so I can use the theme and finalize my build!

            I registered here to comment on your theme and I will be using it hopefully sooner than later!

            Thank you again!

                Since we were discussing systems I was curious if there are any plans for the North American model of the Super Nintendo?

                I only recently am getting into my retropie so I'm not sure if that console is even possible to change the theme like the genesis or TG16?

                Or since it's the same name it's as easy as a image change?

                  @prophecy the NA model of the Super Nintendo IS the Super Nintendo. In Japan it was called the Super Famicom. If you see "Super Nintendo" that's the NA version.

                    @cafarellidigital I'm guessing @prophecy means the SNES icon that is used on the main menu.

                      Not entirely true, it was called the Super Nintendo in many other places but using the proper design rather than the purple and grey monstrosity that NA got ;)
                      As I'm from the UK I went for the design I remembered, I will however be making an alternative icon so everyone is happy :).

                        I'm owned that purple monstrosity, I feel we got shafted. Everywhere else had the nice looking snes where we had the purple tank.

                        Its cool that you are adding it though.

                        I'm not sure if it's been requested but could we get pc-engine cd. I know that the 32x has been requested.

                          Out of curiosity, if we want to downgrade the theme back to the original carousel, or download the older versions of this theme, how could we go about doing that? Thank you for this amazing theme, btw. My family and I absolutely love it!

                          I was wondering the same thing.

                          I'm presuming you can retrieve older versions of the theme using github. However, you'd then lose out on bigfixes and other enhancements.

                          I really like the new theme, but I also like the old one (which I'm currently using) and it would be a shame if it were to fade away.

                          It would therefore be nice if both versions of the theme could be supported simultaneously, or instructions provided on how to "downgrade" the theme. Would that be possible?

                            No worries, I'm sure if you grew up with it you're just as fond of it as we are of the SNES we had. There were some strange choices when it came to console releases in the USA though, the other one that I think is strange is the PC Engine/TG16 (sadly never really released in the UK). The original is a really cute little console and the US got a much bigger and arguably uglier console.

                              I meant we got shafted because we got the purple console, lol.

                              I like the sleek snes that everyone else got.

                              So what's on the to-do list besides the 32x and purple NA snes?

                                  Yeah, I know what you meant, I perhaps should have worded my answer better:

                                  "I'm sure if you grew up with the purple monstrosity you're just as fond of it as we are of the sleek and sophisticated SNES we had.." :D.

                                  I have a to do list in the first post but I'll paste here as it may result in requests for systems I may have missed.

                                  Below is the current todo list:

                                  Amiga
                                  Amstrad CPC
                                  Atari ST
                                  DosBox
                                  Dreamcast
                                  Game & watch
                                  Kodi
                                  MSX
                                  pc-engine cd
                                  ScummVM
                                  Sega 32x
                                  Steam
                                  Supergrafx

                                      I think my only request isn't a system request it's more of a request for the theme.

                                      Also it isn't an immediate thing, it's something that would ideally be started when the system requests are done.

                                      I'd love to see instead of the nes system border, all of the systems have there own border (snes=snes, genesis=genesis).

                                      I'm fairly sure I've discussed this with you before earlier on in the thread though.

                                        That's a shame. But I understand your reasoning.

                                        I wonder whether there might be a configuration parameter in Emulation Station that forces it to behave like the earlier version (i.e. ignore the new carousel styles).

                                          Yes I meant the Super Nintendo icon on the carousel. I know the current icon is the non-NA model.

                                          Because yes I also grew up with that purple monstrosity and loved every second of it so I figured I'd ask since it would complete my perfect build (plus satisfy everyone in North America).

                                          I think releasing the North America Super Nintendo could be as easy as just replacing the image file right?

                                          On a side note I noticed lots of themes I've tested have the Super Nintendo NA model. Some even using the PC engine even if you change the platform to TG16 which is odd because the pc engine was Japan only while the TG16 was NA and Europe - yet they use the NA Super Nintendo model which was NA only..... whaaaaatever

                                            @prophecy said in Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes:

                                            Yes I meant the Super Nintendo icon on the carousel. I know the current icon is the non-NA model.

                                            Because yes I also grew up with that purple monstrosity and loved every second of it so I figured I'd ask since it would complete my perfect build (plus satisfy everyone in North America).

                                            On a side note I noticed lots of themes I've tested have the Super Nintendo NA model. Some even using the PC engine even if you change the platform to TG16

                                            A lot of it would depend on where the themer was born - if the themer grew up in the US then they would likely use images of the US systems. Likewise I grew up in the UK so I favour the systems I grew up with.

                                            Like I said though, I will be adding an alternative icon for the NA SNES.
