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'.

@ruckage Can you turn that off? Maybe you could ask it for a date... Ha!

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

kbronctjr

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

@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.

MSX is already on the to do list but I will add MSX2 as well.

Hi @ruckage I leave this link: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/7638/retropie-theme-port-posibility-cardboard-mini-nes-nes-mini-and-famicom-mini-themes/25

A fellow from the recalbox @ João-Nuno-Cravinho forum has partially ported the theme to recalbox, but it is an older version to the new design in carrousel

Check it out and tell us what you think, I have also left a message in the recalbox forum.
As you can see, they have not taken long to port, the theme has a lot of acceptance.

I would like you to contact @ João-Nuno-Cravinho to polish details, he has offered to finish the job if you give him your permission.

Anything you need will contact me.

Thanks @ruckage

Interesting post on both forums but I disagree with this request and the thought process behind it. Keep up the good work on your theme @ruckage
