      @ruckage UXS is the Universal XML Scraper. It scrapes the metadata from screenscraper.fr. One of the best things about it is you can create your own scrape profiles so you can scrape whatever images you want (box art, fan art, game logos, screenshots, etc) and mix them into a single image.

      How do you choose your own images for the scraped games?

        @SonPluck You can create Mix Profiles that let you place the different types of image however you want.

        They have tutorials on the github wiki page that teach you how to do it, or you can check out the ones I made for the ES Toolkit for inspiration.

        (You don't choose specific images to use, but you do choose the type of image, and where to place it eg: put the logo in the bottom-right, the 3d boxart in the bottom-left and screenshot in the middle.)

              Thanks for taking the time to leave a message. As @LiveFastCyYoung said both of those are on the to do list which you can find in the first post. I'm having a little break from this at the moment as I'm working on something else but will be going back to it soon to get the remaining systems added.

                @ruckage Downloaded Mini Nes theme thru Retropie Setup, and I'm not getting the carousel update. Any help?

                  When was the last time you did an update to ES?
                  Because it sounds like you need to update.

                    @SonPluck As @Syhles said, you'll need to update ES. I'd also suggest uninstalling the theme and reinstalling it after updating ES. I had the same issue several weeks ago.

                      @Syhles How do you I update emulation station?

                      EDIT: I'm using retropie 4.0.2, isn't that newest version?

                        @SonPluck Press start and quit emulationstation. At the prompt, type...

                        sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

                        Go to "Update RetroPie-Setup script". Let that run.

                        Go to "Manage packages" -> "Manage core packages" -> "emulationstation" -> "update from binary"

                        This will update your emulationstation.

                        Go back to the main menu and perform reboot.

                          EmulataionStation can be updated seperately to Retropie as a whole and there have been lots of updates lately. I would advise against updating though if you intend to use this theme as the latest update will probably cause problems with this theme. I will be updating the theme soon though and then you can update ES.

                            Slightly off tangent, but don't forget to close the Issues you open on GitHub if they have been resolved.

                            Weren't they a part of the update @jdrassa recently did?

                            If they weren't just ignore me.

                              Yep, I had forgotten - I've closed them now.

                                I figured that you had possibly forgotten about them.

                                I spend way too much time on GitHub.

                                    Is it just the year and is it only affecting mame? If so then it must be that the scraped data you have for mame is missing that information. Try scraping again using a different source.

                                    Here is a link to UXS scraper if that helps: UXS

                                      @ruckage I think he means the year on the icon ("????").

                                      I think it was '97 MAME released?

                                      I presumed it was left at "????" because MAME isnt a console.

                                        You could be right. If that's what he means then yes that is deliberate as there is no set release date for arcades as it covers so many systems.

                                          I tried to overwrite the original - didn't work
                                          I tried to delete the original and change it with a backup - didn't work
                                          I tried to overwrite the whole file without deleting anything - didn't work

                                            @SonPluck /etc/emulationstation/themes/nes-mini/ is a root directory so make sure you are using sudo in your command.

                                            The other thing you could do is edit the file on your computer, move it to a non-root directory and us sudo mv to put it in the /etc/emulationstation/themes/nes-mini directory.
