Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

@Syhles @Jakezilla99
It was similar case with the icons I made. They were inspired by a user on reddit: See Here
I really liked the concept but wanted to do my own interpretation in pixel art form. I only looked at them briefly and didn't use them as a reference while making mine but there were a few that must have really stuck because some of my icons ended up being very similar (some by coincidence, some by influence).

@ruckage Friend could you add the MSX to the supported systems?

Hi. It's already on the to do list.

In the first post you were talking about adding variations to famicom mini theme are you meaning alternate layouts like you have in nes mini theme or something else?

No. I want to keep the Famicom theme as a simpler version that has the same look for all systems. The variations I'm taking about are theme wide - you could call them skins I guess. So for example at the moment you can either have the famicom theme in 'Famicom' mode or 'Nes' mode by making a small change in the layout .xml file.

Here's a GIF to illustrate, it shows the Famicom theme in both Famicom mode and Nes mode:

styles

To change the style you just need to open the layout.xml file. And find the following line:

<include>./style/famicom/style.xml</include>

Then simply change the word 'famicom' to 'nes'.

Hello, I noticed that the update to 4.2.4 the metadata is not displayed completely. It lacks: game's release date, developer, times played, etc...
However, since running the "update all packages" script in RetroPie Setup, this meta-data has disappeared.
Can anyone else confirm this issue? Anyone have any solutions to fix this?

Hi, this was fixed a few days ago by @jdrassa , it was bug in ES due to the new z-index support, (everything is still there it just has the wrong zindex so is hidden underneath the background).
If you install the latest version of ES from source (you can do it from within retropie) then the problem should be fixed.

@ruckage Perfect, works again. thanks

@ruckage : Can I request MSX2?, didnt see it in the list

Hi, as latests versions of ES have the possibility to press X button to select a random game, could you add that button to the bottom area of the theme where other buttons appears

sergioad

@bjose2345 any kind of MSX could work

This is hardcoded and will need to be changed in ES

@Hex
This theme has custom help Icons built into the background.

You are absolutely correct though that the actual help icons are hardcoded in ES.
