        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?

          @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.

          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 (◔_◔) )

                              Regarding needing to uninstall the theme - did you restart ES as I think changes aren't seen unless the theme is reloaded.

                                  Oh, if it's not too much trouble, can you add official support for 1366 x 768? I can make a small change each update, but I can't get it perfect like the other ones are.

                                  No worries if it's too much work for an edge case. :)

                                      Hello, could u give me a link to download one older version of Famicon Mini Theme?

                                      I am using emulationstation on Windows and i can't get it to work with the last version of theme. I have the older NES mini version and it works perfectly.

                                      Thanks for the work, it's amazing!

                                        Can't you just use a more up to date version of EmulationStation? @jdrassa posted a windows build of the latest version a few days ago: Click Here.

                                          Just updated both themes.

                                          Added video support.
                                          Added NTSC resolution to Nes-mini.
                                          Added 1366 x 768 resolution.
                                          Added alternative US style Snes icons.
                                          Removed year box from system carousel icons that don't require it.
