      Updating just emulationstation on it's own shouldn't affect anything else so you should be okay.

        take a little while to compile

        Well, its been going for more than half an hour maybe even close to a hour and is 29% now, thats more than a "little while" ;) Haha, I was thinking maybe it would take 15min or so...still so new at this.

        Why would the theme need this btw?

          It' probably slow because you're compiling on a pizero which isn't that fast - it doesn't take too long on rpi3.

          EmulationStation has had lots of changes and improvements the last few months and my theme takes advantage of many of them - the downside being that as these features aren't in the older versions of ES the theme won't work in them.

            pi zero takes forever to compile anything
            (BTW, looking forward to your clone NES in a controller "how-to" video. If postal tracking is to be believed, I should have mine tomorrow!)

              @ruckage thanks man, I'm offering my sincerest apology, I haven't updated in months. Like I said I'll just wait for everything gif to come and I'll be sure to donate to support a great theme.

                Thank you for making this awesome theme :)

                I can't update ES at all. Whenever I try it says "Could not install package(s): libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc-nox"
                Is anyone else having the same issue?

                  Hi there. Great theme! This is probably the best RetroPie theme I have seen yet! I really like the touches you made to the games menu for Gameboy and Virtualboy. I see that there is an option to change the carousel icon to the US SNES logo. I saw that all I have to do is change the name, but where and how do I do that?

                    Sorry, I don't know what could be causing that. As It's not a theme specific issue you would be better off asking the question in the Help and Support section of the forum where more people will see it.

                      Hi.

                      There are 2 ways to do it.

                      Option 1:

                      Go to the nes-mini theme folder.
                      Find the SNES folder within it.
                      Open theme.xml in a text editor

                      Change this line:
                      <path>./carousel_logo.png</path>
                      to
                      <path>./carousel_logo_US.png</path>

                      Save the file.
                      Restart EmulationStation

                      Option 2:

                      Go to the nes-mini theme folder.
                      Find the SNES folder within it.
                      Rename: carousel_logo.png to carousel_logo_EUR.png
                      Rename: carousel_logo_US.png to carousel_logo.png
                      Restart EmulationStation

                          @ruckage Thanks that seems easy enough. How do I find the nes-mini folder? In the File Manager?

                            @hyruleslink use winscp to get into your pi and go to /etc/pi/emulationstation/themes folder.
                            There you'll find the nes-mini theme with all systems.

                              In your theme, did you make the "NESCyrillic_gamelist.ttf" font yourself or did you get it from somewhere? If you did get it from somewhere, where might that be? I'm asking because I noticed it was different from the regular NES Cyrillic font.

                              Don't sweat it.
                              When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

                                  Sorry for the late reply. The gamelist font is a modified version of a font I found on bitfontmaker2, I changed several characters and also the baseline height (necessary at the time to make it work correctly in this theme).

                                    Not easily I'm afraid and if you did you would just have a blank space instead. Does it really make any difference it being there?

                                        Greetings ruck, hope I don't sound like a bother with this since you're really busy tweaking with this amazing theme, but do you think you could curiously do the Sega Mark III, Capcom Play System, and Megadrive Japan, even if the latter two is just a logo work to your previous stuff if you can please?

                                        I'll do the honor of donating to your beerfund right away if it pops up on your to-do list. I look really forward and patiently to see how this awesome gem shapes up! :)

                                          I've added them to the list, however CPS and Megadrive Japan will be lower priority as they are already supported in some form. Having said that as Megadrive Japan will only need a different logo that may be done sooner.
