        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.

                        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 ????

                                        No they aren't in yet but I have a todo list in the first post and those systems are on it.

                                        Thanks. Yes, the sytem icon borders in this version are based on the Famicom Mini menus so that they match with the theme (though the pixel art consoles and logos are the same ones that I drew for the nes-mini theme) here's a comparison between the 2 different styles - both similar but famicom is rounder and has a shadow.

                                        Glad you like it. I probably will do more, it was also a bit of a test to see how console specific borders may look for the Nes mini theme.

                                        The date is part of the icon (not something ES adds) and shows the release date of the console/computer. It shows ???? for systems that have no specific release date such as 'arcade systems' and 'ports' as they cover various systems so a release date makes no sense for those.

                                            Hey @ruckage !

                                            Been following your development since your first post!

                                            Thank you for making so many great changes to your amazing theme!

                                            I am having an issue with the newest iteration though.

                                            I have waited until 4x3 was officially supported and was anxious to try the newest version on my SD circa 1980 retro TV.

                                            I am hooked up through an HDMI to RCA converter.

                                            I compiled the new version of EmulationStation, changed the layout.xml to 640x480, 320x240, and 1024x768 but end up with the following each time...

                                            0_1499238650809_20170704_234113 (1).jpg

                                            Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

                                            Thanks!
