      Hi. Not sure what you mean, can you post a link to the preview you're talking about?

        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.

        @ruckage
        No problemo, ruck!
        Anyways, one beerfund comin' thru! :D

        Thank you, that's very kind of you.

          @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:
                    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/assets/uploads/files/1489358828580-arcade-preview-2.png

                    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.

                          I've just finished adding basic game collection support ('Favourites', 'Last Played', and 'All games') to the Nes-mini and Famicom-mini themes. They should be available to download via the Retropie theme manager now.

                            @ruckage Hmmm. I updated the theme, but ES still says Game Collections is unsupported. Anyone else experiencing this?

                              Did you restart your system after updating?

                                  @ruckage Awesome update! Thanks so much, had no problem after updating the theme.

                                  @Hyruleslink All I did was update the theme, switch to the theme, enable the collections, then restart emulationstation. Worked great for me. Make sure emulationstation is updated too.

                                    I've double checked on my test system and the update worked perfectly.
                                    If you're still having trouble then maybe try uninstalling the theme then re-installing it.

                                    Out of interest have you changed the layout? I'm sure I read that someone else had problems updating after changing the theme layout.

                                      @ruckage I changed my theme layout before updating. Was still able to update fine and enable theme collections no problem.

                                        @mrjordaaany Yeah. Made sure Emulationstation and the RetroPie Setup Script were all updated and no dice. Bummer.

                                          Thanks for letting me know, that rules that out as a problem then.
