      @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.

                        is there a layout option as shown in your preview images? or am i just blind?
                        The one with just the artwork on one end and all the metadata on the rioght.

                              @ruckage could you add support for the favorites and recently played categories?

                                Those layouts look good, though it looks like it would be a very manual process as you'd have to position the screenshots by hand so that the characters are the focus, are you planning on doing all games for all systems or just select games?

                                Oh btw, will your theme support the new ES features (favorites, all games, last played, etc.) ?

                                Yes, I've been working on those amongst other things. Here are the icons for 'Favourite', and 'Last Played' as proof that I am actually still working on the theme ;).

                                  Looks great, maybe another good icon for the favorites could be a Super Mario bros. super star 😀

                                    @sergioad his icons arent based on videogame characters instead based on their system logo and system hardware, it makes no sense to add a character icon, it be out of place, this looks great IMO

                                        THis particular layout:

                                        I couldn't find it in the readme and image you have bundled in the theme. If it's not included thats cool too

                                          Ah, I see what you mean. There is no layout that matches that I'm afraid, that preview is a bit of a relic from before a I re-vamped the theme and added the current layout support.
                                          Originally the theme was only designed for NES which has vertical box art which filled that entire left window perfectly but once I started adding more and more systems it was quickly apparent that it wasn't suitable for most systems (or if you wanted to display screenshots instead of box art). For example if you imagine displaying SNES box-art in that area - it would either have to be badly stretched or have a huge amount of empty space. My solution was to restrict the artwork to a square window which would minimize wasted space.
