@ruckage

thats really cool having a choice of 6 different no-meta layouts,

i was wandering seen as there is no meta data now, would we be able to customise the box art so that no "published" or "played" meta data is displayed too?

Please make a 4:3-compatible of this beautiful theme. It's fantastic.

So much for me thinking that there would be something to suit everyone now :D ......

For now the layouts posted will be the ones available. I'm assuming everyone using retropie scrapes their roms so it's not like the published etc. will be blank. I think I have to draw the line somewhere as I've learned that I'll never be able to 100% suit everyone's preference. I may change my mind at a later date but for now you'll have to settle for what I've provided.

So is this available for Es theme download? Since I went to ES Themes to update the snes mini theme and it says already up to date.

@ruckage thanks. There are any ETA? Thanks again for your work. :)

No, not yet, I'm still working on the update. Be patient, as soon as I've finished it will be uploaded and available to download through the theme manager.

@redbatman

Sure, no problem.

@ruckage this might've already been addressed but I believe there's an issue with the display of number of players.

e.g. "1" and "2" work fine but "1-2" and "4+" throw a couple small white boxes with what looks like an "f" inside on the screen. It's the special characters "-" and "+" that cause.

It's not issue with the theme, it's an issue with the scraped info in the gamelist due to it having 1-4 instead of simply 4, the theme relies on it being a single digit for the player icons to work as it's achieved by using a special font (if you go back to the begining of the thread I explain how it was achieved https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12583/snes-mini-theme/41).

If you check the documentation I included with the theme you'll see I've made allowances for this, you can change an option in the config.xml to display the player count as text instead of icons if you wish.

Another alternative is to edit your gamelist.xml. Use notepad++ or similar and search and replace all occurrences of 1-4 and replace with 4 (do the same for any other number of players affected).

@ruckage this theme is AMAZING!

any chance at ZMachine or Apple II being supported later on?

[greedoshotfirst]

@ruckage got it. Thanks for the detailed reply. Keep up the great work!

I should be able to add those at some point. I want to get a default system added as well (will require the latest version of ES) so that even unsupported systems will still display correctly.

Christmas came early today :D .

I received a parcel all the way from Japan very kindly sent by @FlyingTomahawk which contained a Famicom along with lots of spare parts. It's the first time I've seen a Famicom in real life and what a cute console it is, it's smaller than I imagined (much smaller than an NES) and is a really nice design. I'm excited to get started on a build using it now. Thanks again @FlyingTomahawk , you've made my day :D .

[Super Retropie]

@ruckage if you ever need any help designing icons or logos just send me some of your templates and I'm more than willing to help you out man

This theme is just PERFECT!

[FlyingTomahawk]

@ruckage

Ah nice. My donation arrived rather quickly.
Did you recognize the font I used for the shipping labels? ;-)

Looking forward to your build.
Enjoy!

How do I switch the arcade icons from 10p to 25c?
