@lostless Thanks! I will have to look into that!
It's amazing what you did with your PlayStation theme you've made. I'm a huge fan of it. :)

@viperacidzx Probably just the standard. Where could I check up on this?

Did you manually install the -dev version from experimental packages?

You can check in:

RetroPie-Setup > Manage packages > Manage (core/experimental) packages > emulationstation(-dev)

Only one should say "installed" since whichever one you do install will remove the other version first.

it wont' matter I think. dev build simply makes ThreadedLoading to false by default when the entry isn't there. if you explicit set ThreadedLoading to false then dev or not it will still take effect.

@mitu used all the resolutions but they had the same issue. I fixed it by making the bars smaller and modifying some code. Here is what i did. Reference if someone comes with same problem.

First here the two smaller images. https://imgur.com/a/BbOfzr7
I named them gamelist_outline_smaller.png and gamelist_background_smaller.png

Uploaded this files to my pi on /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/art
then modified the setup xml with

sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/layouts/setup.xml

replaced both paths with the new images like this example

<image name="gamelist_background" extra="true"> <path>./../art/gamelist_background_smaller.png</path>

since my resolution is using 4x3 i went and

sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/layouts/4x3setup.xml

i replaced gamelist outline so it alignscorrectly, with this code

<image name="gamelist_outline" extra="true"> <origin>0.5 0.5</origin> <pos>0.7055555555555556 0.5</pos>

and done

@mitu

OK thank you. I will start from a new image.

@Super-Retropie Cool! Thanks for your hard work!

Wow this theme is amazing. But i tried to follow few instructions from here and it is a bit confusing, at least for me. I want to use this theme with ES on Windows 10, but seems like alot of configuration. Everytime i try, something is messed up. I don't know if i have the good version from ES, and then configuring it seems hard. Anybody already installed this theme and everthing works fine? I want to use emulators up to WiiU and PS2. If anybody can offer me some help, i can even pay for that help. Thx!

@pythonli said in TG-Mini Theme:

@DedworthMean My apologies been a crazy few months. Took on too many projects. I have to take the build apart to get the card out to back it up. I promise you I will do that this week. I never posted any of builds to Arcade Punks, so I have to figure out how to do that.

Is this theme available yet ?

@mitu Actually, it's a lot quicker with omxplayer disabled. Are there any actual benefits to having it enabled?

UPDATE: Seems that a lot of clips only play audio

Ahh, OK thanks for that. i didn't know that was the case. Not too much I can do then. Well thanks for replying anyway.

OK will have a look, didn't even think of looking there, many thanks. I will crack on.

@bigbellyman worked like a dream . I approached it slightly different. Copied the theme I wanted to edit to my pc and edited it all there and then copied it over no problems.

@zachariel thanks

@hermit Thank you sir! You are my hero today
@mitu Good to know! woulda saved me some time knowing that

@mitu I have to apologize, as I discovered that my hasty assumption was wrong! You can filter by favorites = false, which makes it much easier to go through a list and catch faves that you missed. :)

i found out how to fix the problem see- <removed>, but thanks anyways guys

Another nice feature would be to cycle different pictures, like screenshot / flyer / cabinet.

Actually, you can use emulationstation for windows as a theme editor. I think that it would be very hard to adjust the objects dragging them with the mouse cursor and people will end up using text editor anyways.

update:

removed CRT theme renamed "HD" theme added grid view

the CRT only theme is now unneeded so I removed it and instead renamed the "HD" one and added grid view.
