@wetriner said in ES Themes Menu Revision: @herb_fargus said in ES Themes Menu Revision: Another suggestion would be a culling to keep well maintained themes and leaves the others to an auxillary script. I think this is a good option as well. I also like this idea.

Editing the es_systems.cfgjust for one theme seems like a stupid idea IMO, because it will break probably all other themes that require the snes folder. I just looked at the retrorama github and would suggest to rename the snes folder to snesntsc and the snespal folder to snes. That should work.

@spudsmctoole said in How to make a quick and simple theme?: If it's the link in home/pi that leads to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation, there's no themes folder in there. Yes, that's th folder. By default there is no themes folder, but you can create it and then copy the theme's folder in there.

@mitu Great! thanks, it works.

@alphatoanant My pleasure, thanks for submitting it

So what happened was, I didn't think I wanted ALL of RPie when I started. So I cloned a Emulationstation repos... with retropie-setup you can install as little or as much of retropie as you like.

Greek that stuff

EDIT: Never mind! I got it now, just didn't saw the solution you posted, because I was confused. Thank you! Just use the already existing configs folder through Samba and add the themes folder manually in emulationstation. It works, thousands times thank you. @dudleydes I just don't know how to do this. How can I create the connection to this folder through Samba? Searching this gets me confusing, I just can't get around it. In Nautilus, I use the smb://retropie/ path to get a selection of 5 folders to access from: bios, configs, print$, roms and splashscreens. I don't know if I added one of them manually and if I did, I don't remember how. I wish there would be a sixth folder to access, the theme folder. Can I add it there?

@douga said in Best of Games for Kids up to 12 Years (collections, themes): Scott Adams text adventure Nice, i like the Idea for Text Adventures, but my Games are also Playable with multi-language support or without any language. For german and other non-english User are the Games playable. The Adams text adventure are only in english and hard to play for kids and Users with bad English Skills for an text Adventure.

@andrewh you could be right. I don’t play either of those, so I can’t comment.

You can, but only if you use the default video player. OMX does not support layers and will be always the top most element.

Very nice!
