any resources you would suggest (I know there are some here)

The Debian user manual is a good start. Running a Linux desktop for a while exclusively is also a good way to grasp how Linux works underneath.

Thank you.

Make sure you specified the correct path where you copied the images when you edit the game. Can you post the gamelist.xml file for the system where you added the images on pastbin.com ? We can check if there are any incorrect paths there.

The uninstall should only removes packages and dependencies if you want it to.

Do you want to remove all the system packages that RetroPie depends on?

WARNING: this will remove packages like SDL even if they were installed before you installed RetroPie - it will also remove any package configurations - such as those in /etc/samba for Samba.

If unsure choose No (selected by default).

Did you choose yes to this?

Hi all! It's been a while! Gravedigging this post to let everyone know I updated the links. I've been getting an uptick in people asking permissions to view/edit the files in Google Drive (!!! that's really cool) but I can't manually fulfill them all, so check the OP for updates or try these mediafire links:
Instruction Booklet doc
Back Cover doc
Booklet pdf

so i went ahead and was able to access the theme but still have a problem. the theme displays incorrectly with just white background and black or blue text. Its the Retrorama v 1.75 theme

Great job!

Today I will test your script, it's just what I needed!

I agree and I have made a new topic on the sort, but we aren't the first ones to talk about this.

@ebtalk if you do use this i hope you leave the credit section untouched.

Certainly. I was going to make more visual additions to it. Not sure Kids would want to read as much so my plan is to include screenshots on how to shutdown, navigate, etc.

Ah, guess I am buying one after all. Thanks anyway, though.

Had a go myself for my full SNES set-up - best I could do in Word...
