      Hi just watched a video on how to add themes i downloaded on my computer from ETA PRIME and when i restarted my Pi to try out the mini nes and old room theme they don't show up on the listing so i would like to know what i might be doing wrong because i would like to use those themes.

        Luckily Nes Mini is actually available from the ES THEMES option in the actual retropie program. I'm not sure about old room, I don't think so. I've only added a couple themes over filezilla a few times but its been too long to help with what you're doing wrong. I just suggest watching the video again, make SURE you're putting folders in the correct sections. So, at least I've hopefully helped testing the first theme.

          @Ecks custom themes should be placed at ~/.emulationstation/themes/CUSTOM_THEME_NAME/.
