      @ruckage Thank you so much for the 4:3 update, my question is, is there any chance you can create a new layout option for 4:3 that does not add the ratings, publisher, etc.... So that the on the left only the box art is shown?

      Not going to happen, there is only so much I can do, I can't create custom layouts for everyone - I think I already offer plenty of options to fit most peoples needs as it is.

      excellent work @ruckage!

      one tiny issue i noticed: when scrolling through a gamelist, i'm seeing the box art/screenshots shift ~1 pixel to the right. you can actually see them move. not sure if this a theme thing or an ES thing.

      It may be an ES issue but I'll check. I imagine it has to do with scaling (are the images different sizes?) but it's possible my overly precise values are adding to it. I'll look into it and see if it's anything I can remedy.

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

      That latest update is for the "NES" theme only?

      Yes only Nes-mini, I will work on getting the famicom-mini theme updated next (it's a bit behind as it doesn't have the new carousel either.)

        @dankcushions This happens with almost every theme for me, which leads me to believe it's an ES issue indeed.

              My pleasure.
              I know how much time and work is behind such a theme so every beer you get is well deserved. If everyone donates a little here and a little there it will be worth it for you and more motivating.
              And there is more, lot more where that came from as soon the NeoGeo/Capcom theme is released. ;-)

                Very nice theme indeed. Most of the system are already there :) However I can't find a very popular one which I wonder it is not included: PCEngine CD (or TurboGrafx CD). I see the normal ones are there but I think the CD version is considered different system. Any chance to create any of these? At least the logo so I can just copy the normal version and adjust replace it. Thanks for your hand work.

                    That's very kind of you, I appreciate it.

                    I'm working on bringing the Famicom-mini theme up to date so that it in line with the Nes Mini theme. I hope to have a release ready in the next day or so.

                      Hi, I think now the theme is broken for previous versión of retropie. Anyway I will update to the latest version when I have time. The thing is i prefer not to update retropie because once it broke all my gamepad configs.

                      Thanks for this theme mate!

                        I did say in the post where I announced this release that it will not work in older versions of Emulationstation. However you don't need to update the whole of retropie, just update Emulationstation on it's own, you will need the latest version so update it from source:

                        To do this in Retropie go to the config menu and select the following:

                        Retropie Setup
                        Manage Packages
                        Manage Core Package
                        EmulationStation
                        Update From Source

                        It will take a little while to compile but once it's finished you will have the latest version of ES.
                        Restart the system and you can then update the theme.

                            @ruckage Have a red ale on me. I chose the red ale just to remind the Neo Geo X theme. It's an early thanks for that. :-)

                              I think it would be nice to add the ScummVM system to your theme.

                                Thanks, that really is kind - and I take the hint regarding the Neo Geo theme ;)

                                  I've updated the Famicom-Mini theme so it's up to date with the Nes-mini theme now.

                                  Gamelist bug is fixed and it now supports different resolutions including 4x3,.

                                  I've updated the carousel to the new style and I've added 6 systems that were missing compared to the Nes theme.

                                  I've taken advantage of selector bar image support to make the selector bar look nicer.

                                  As with the Nes-mini update this requires the latest version of ES - it will not work with older versions of ES.

                                  Below are some picture showing the system select in widescreen and the gamelist in 4x3.

                                  On top of all that I've added a new style that you can select in the layout file - I think @meleu will appreciate this.

                                    Pardon my ignorance, as I haven't kept up with progress on the theme, but does the new update support 32x and/or MSX? I absolutely can't get enough of how great this theme looks, especially when showing it to friends or people who ask what RetroPie is.

                                      Donated to your beer fund. Thank you for making such an excellent theme.

                                      It feels professionally done. Wonderful work.

                                        Just installed your latest famicom-mini v2 theme and I love it!
                                        Especially the new carousel design with those console icons is fantastic and matching the theme.
                                        Those are the Japanese icons right?

                                        I would say this theme is complete, ...for now. And it is time to move on to the NeoGeo X theme. :-P

                                            love this theme. How does one get the date of the system to display in the selection screen, I just have a bunch of question marks ????
