Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

[A Former User]

Anyone else getting a git pull error when updating the theme via Retropie Setup Script?

@LiveFastCyYoung
Just updated both through the ES theme manager on my pi without any problems. Maybe just try again, it could have just been a glitch.

@ruckage what's the progress on adding the missing systems?

Cut me a little slack, I've literally spent all my spare time the last 5 days fixing bugs and making improvements to both these themes.
I will get to the other systems next but I can't give a time frame.

@Omnija At least buy him a beer first ;)

There we go, now to let them find you.

Thanks for buying me a beer :) , that's very generous of you.

[mattmanforever]

@ruckage Least I can do! I'll never need another Retropie theme... unless you make a SNES mini version, in which case I'll be buying you more beers.

@ruckage Sadly, I can't buy you a beer, mainly due to the fact that I can't legally (even in the U.K)

But I reckon I can do one better

@lilbud I would suggest changing the DOSBOX text to something more compressed horzontally

You could also take inspiration from the dosbox icon if you like

or this

@lilbud
Hi. I really am very grateful of the donations I've had but I honestly don't expect anything from anyone so no worries.

Regarding your mockup, It's nice you felt inspired to make that but as I've said several times previously I want to complete this alone. I have done all the other systems myself and want to do the rest myself as well as I have my own ideas for how I want each system to look.

[lilbud]

@ruckage Oh, ok

I thought I would try to help out in some way. Good luck with the rest of the theme

It's kind of you and I hope there are no hard feelings. It's just when you've put so much time and effort into something like this you tend to feel a bit possessive over it (you may feel the same about your Switch theme) .

Yeah, I understand what you're talking about. But at least the switch theme is simple, and doesn't require a PhD to add new systems :)

Added video support.

OMG. thank you!!

@ruckage this is easily my favorite theme, the only one that comes close is retrorama.

the pixel theme launch art package goes really well with this too!

I'll have to donate to you beer fund when I get paid, or if you ever come to Melbourne Australia, buy you a pint personally :)

Really well done dude, this is some professional grade theming.

@ruckage

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Thank you!

When I put this on my RPZ with RetroPie 4.2 the theme just has white boxes, the error is to <title> tag in each XML file yet there obviously is. Any help?

Let me know how you get on with the video support, I was only able to do limited testing on the pi itself but hopefully it should be okay.

Thanks, glad you like the theme :). The pixel theme launch package really is great but stay tuned as I may have something more specific to this theme that I'll be posting about very soon......

Are you using the latest version of EmulationStation? If not the theme won't work.

[ruckage]

I've made a set of custom launch images for the nes-mini theme. You can download them from Mega: Download

I'll be honest, I've not actually tested them yet but there shouldn't be any reason why they wouldn't work. The only thing I'm not certain about is how retropie scales these images when displaying them - if it adds any kind of filtering then I'll need to redo them to stop them from looking blurred when displayed.

Below are a few examples of how they look.
