Just updated the theme. Love the new icons.

Is there a way to remove the name of the system from a game in a custom collection?

I'm assuming you mean the system name in square brackets at the end of the game name in collections? You can't remove that as far as I know, EmulationStation adds that itself. (correct me if I'm wrong @pjft )

Yes, that. Oh, well. Thanks.

@Ruckage : you're simply the best ... Thank you !!

@Ruckage: Thank you! :D

Will the "Sega Mega-CD" System (JAP/EUR Version of "Sega-CD") be included in a future release?

Where do we download this update from? Is the theme on thr ES database?

PokeEngineer

@nestor1924

Yes it is.

nestor1924

@pokeengineer so the folder i installed manually from the last update will be overwrite by this one? Just wondering cuase i installed it from my computer instead of the pi

@nestor1924

I don't know, it will probably end up as an error or it will overwrite. If you made any changes, you probably want to back it up for reference.

You can get it from the ES Themes installer or if you prefer to do it manually there is a link to the theme in the first post.
As @PokeEngineer said if you've customised it then make a backup of your config.xml first.
As I said in my last update I've made some changes so that you can have multiple configs separate to the theme itself but I'll need to do a more in depth post to explain how it works.

I've modified the PC-engine icon as I wasn't happy with it at all, this new revised version will be in the next update (also in the nes-mini theme as well).

Speaking of PC Engine, anyone know where I can get one cheap (either original of core grafx would be nice)? A non working one would be perfect. I always wanted one as a kid but they're virtually non-existant in the UK so are hard to come by and I'd love to do a raspberry pi build using one.

Would definitely need a lot of TLC though.

@ruckage Excellent work with the theme ruckage. Would like to know if it would be possible to get the Classic collections without number of games (21,30) or could you put maybe a SNES one with number 30 like the NES that we could rename if we want to switch icon. Maybe even have 2 or 3 icons with increments of 10 ex. 30,40,50. I know the snes classic only has 21 games but i want my own number of games if possible.

I can keep my eyes open for a PCengine.
Do you want one with controllers or just the console?

What I can give you for sure is a non working Famicom. A bit yellowish, but a bit of Retrobright should work just fine.
Good for RPi projects.
Let me know.
Can also provide pics if needed.

Hi! I'm working on my first Arcade Bartop, and get Retropie with Snes Mini theme. It's awesome!!! But I'm using a non wide screen monitor (I think it's 4:3, fits well with 800x600 or similar "squared" resolution for Linux desktop), and the things doesn't looks in place. There is a specific config that fits text, box art and other things? Tomorrow I'll take a picture of the issue, I leave my project at my mother in law's house.

This is a sample of my monitor:

@danielmewhouse the theme is specifically made for 16:9 only as @ruckage made all the assets in 16:9. There is no config file to fix this in this theme.

danielmewhouse

@lostless

So I'll try to do some adjustments on the file by myself. If I got any success, I'll post here.

@danielmewhouse
@ruckage doesn’t really like mods of his themes posted. But if you want edit it and make it your own, by all means. I’ve turned this theme into a NES/snes hybrid by changing the graphics myself.

ruckage

@danielmewhouse @lostless

4:3 options have been planned from the start, I just haven't had time to work on it yet (it's not a simple modification). The nes-mini theme already has 4:3 options so you could use that as a test to see if it works on your monitor.
It will however depend on the monitor resolution so you will need to find that out.

That would great, thank you. A console with controller would be nice but isn't essential, as long as it's in good cosmetic condition. A core grafx would also be perfect and may even be better as the colour won't be susceptible to yellowing (though not sure if they're more expensive).

Regarding the Famicom that sounds really interesting, I've never even seen one in real life. How much would you want for it? I'll send you an email (is the email in your profile correct?).
