@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.

Looking sexy :) I think you should make the systems color brighter, like the mame logo, to match the Bezel.

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 watch your language this is a family forum

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!

@jamesrives said in 4:3 themes?: SNES mini theme The SNES mini theme seems to support a few 4:3 resolutions, look in the config.xml file inside the theme folder.

@thelostsoul said in While updating all themes it waits for input "Username for 'https://github.com':": es-theme-cygnus it looks like this theme repository doesn't exist anymore. paging @BuZz - guess it can be removed from https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/06d4418ed485f701ce42f61e9a1777142c0fd946/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh ? after that is done, you could update your setup script and try again.

Perfect, thx!

@ectoone said in Freeplay Theme: @rxbrad I think the latest stable version is available here: https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases/tag/continuous Thanks... I was able to grab ES v2.7.4 (Feb 2017 build) with that link, which is better than the v2.2.0 that I was only able to find on my own. Interesting how the horizontal-wheel carousel apparently works on that build (was added late-January I think), but not the official build that came with Retropie v4.4 in April.

It worked thanks guys:)

You'd probably be better off researching if you need 128GB at all to start with. The fact that some emulators are listed as working does not mean the games are actually 100% playable, so you need to think if you're okay with stunted performance. The demanding systems are probably better dealt with on a single-game basis, checking compatibility wikis and all that.

@ectoone said in Es Theme - Questions: Simple answer, you can't do it. Videos are not supported on system view, and most elements can only be used once. Thanks for the tip

@mitu I did not know that.
