        Exactly who is that in the pic? It looks like a genetic hybrid of Fred Sanford and Archie Bunker.

            @mediamogul It's from Drake and Josh, I can't find any info on the actor.

              @ruckage Working great now, thank you so much. This is VERY nitpicky, but is it possible to get the US Super Nintendo instead of the Super Famicom on the system icons? Sorry if this has already been asked. I might be the only weirdo who preferred the US version.

                Yep! I'm in the USA!

                Glad I'm not going crazy! I tried everything I know how to do and still couldn't figure it out.

                Thanks for putting this on your to-do list... I really appreciate it!

                Looking forward to what you come up with!

                I've made an update to the famicom mini theme that adds NTSC support. Once you've updated you will need to go the the layout.xml file and change the line that says:

                <include>./layouts/1920x1080.xml</include>
                

                TO

                <include>./layouts/ntsc.xml</include>
                

                If you could let me know how it works I'd appreciate it (a screenshot would be nice). If you could double check for me that the selector bar on the gamelist lines up correctly in all positions a well.

                Once I know its working correctly I'll get to work adding the NTSC support to the nes mini theme as well.

                  We're not all 'Murrican you know ;)
                  I'm from the UK and that is what our Super Nintendo looked like (as well as most of the world in fact). I will however be adding an alternative USA SNES icon but the current icon will remain the default.

                  p.s - I can confirm that you are a weirdo for preferring the US SNES design ;)

                    @ruckage Hahaha I know, I know. It's all due to nostalgic reasons. I have the 'Merican 8bitdo controllers too. Glad to hear there will be an alternate I can switch out. You rock.

                        I can't replicate that at my end (tested on pc and raspberry pi 3). Can you give more info - is it just gameboy that's affected? What layout/resolution settings have you set?

                          You're not the first to ask so I've made alternative SNES US icons. They will be in the next updates. I'll put them below as well though so you can use them straight away if you want.

                                Okay. There shouldn't really be any reason for a single system to display incorrectly as the theme.xml is almost identical for every system (mainly just colour differences). If you find out what the cause is let us know as it may help others.

                                      Ah, that would explain it as I haven't added video view yet. I will sort it out so that it at least displays in video view correctly but you should just be able to switch view to detailed in the ES ui to make it display for now.

                                        Hey @ruckage !

                                        It works!!!

                                        Thank you very much!

                                        I had to uninstall the theme and then reinstall (update wasn't reflecting the changes for some reason).

                                        But... it works great!

                                        Looking forward to the NES-Mini update!

                                            Not really as that's supposed to reflect the release date of the console/computer and config is neither. I think I'm just going to remove the year box completely from config and arcade based systems as it seems to be causing confusion (no doubt then people will be asking why no 'year box' appears on those icons (◔_◔) )
