@zerojay have you made a donation to Ruckage before? If not you should probably do that first and foremost before anything... if you have make another one. Hes not getting paid for any of this but does it to help out the community.

Hi @skr1b , I appreciate your support but I just want to be clear that there is no obligation for anyone to donate. While I really do appreciate any donations I receive I certainly don't expect them and it's not the reason I make and continue to work on the themes.

@ruckage hey man- i 100% agree and understand and that was not my intention to put words in your mouth. Its me talking. My thought and some may and may not agree but when you have a strong opinion about certain things one does and you want changes, adds etc The correct thing to do when one is putting in a lot of ones own free time, is to make a donation even if super small as i get not everyone can afford it. But it helps. I know. Anyway.... a suggestion thats all. Thanks!

@ruckage I just want to say: WOW! What a fantastic job you have done with this and all your themes! I was using the NES one first, but now I've switched to this. Really, great job!

Amesome news regarding the 4:3 support.

Any news or development on the Famicom?

@flyingtomahawk Famicom and Nes already have support for 4:3 screen. If you like red, white and static wallpaper, Famicom is your theme, buy if you like gray, black and dynamic wallpaper, Nes is the answer. Both are great themes.

Very helpful post but I think @FlyingTomahawk was referring to the Famicom console he kindly donated to me which I'm working on converting to a retropie console.

I've made a bit of progress but I've decided I'm definitely going to use vinyl dye as I've seen a few other Famicoms sprayed with it and they look brand new. Problem is I'd have to spray it outside and it's now starting to get pretty cold here which could delay things. I'm going to order some anyway and then as soon as there is a warmish day I'll be ready :) .

I'll make a separate topic soon, I've started work on making replacement metallic labels for the console which are looking good and I've bought replacement rubber membranes for the controllers. I'm still deciding on the best way to incorporate everything inside the shell - space is fairly tight but I'll figure it out. At the moment I'm thinking having the pi just in front of the cartridge port will work best for me.

@ruckage my fault, I didn't know you are doing this casemod project. You are a real artist man!!! This kind of project isn't easy, needs a lot of work to be done.

This is one of the Best themes. Im going to throw my vote in with the people asking for Scummvm logo, its the only one missing out of the set of Systems I have left.

This is a beautiful theme! I'm actually using a modified SNES Mini, so I've edited the console icons to remove the borders. I'd like to share my edited icons for use by other SNESM players, and in my haste I did briefly share a partial set on Reddit, but then I saw your post here saying that modifications were only for personal use, so I removed the download.

May I have your permission to share the trimmed icons? Here's my post with a few images of the icons in use on the SNES Mini: https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/comments/7d1ifv/great_system_folder_icons_from_a_snes_mini/dpvykvb/

@lilbud Hey. Why'd you delete your post post? I saw it anyway as it came through via email so thanks for pointing me to that reddit topic. I don't have a problem with the icons being used with the real snes mini though I don't want them just randomly shared without my license terms or any credit given to me. He could have just asked me and I would have sorted out a pack of the icons for Snes Mini owners to use.

4:3 support will be in the next update.

Thanks for contacting me instead of just sharing the images. I don't want the images randomly shared around by people but I'm happy to create a set for Snes Mini owners to use on their hacked systems.
I have some programs I've created so that I can easily create the completed tiles from the pixel logos/icons I've drawn so with a few adjustments it would be easy for me to also create icons specifically for the SNES Mini as well. I could then host them on github so they would always be up-to date and easy to obtain.

@ruckage I thought they were using the icons without permission but as I sent my post, it was updated to say "from Ruckage"

No problem, he didn't ask for permission so you were right. Thanks again for letting me know. As I said I'll make them a set for the mini snes anyway as I can automate that with the the rest of the icon generation so it's not much extra work.

Hey @ruckage I know you like to work alone, but I just wanted to throw a MAME icon design your way to see what your thoughts of it were

Hi. Isn't that just my design though with the buttons and joystick shifted around...

The arcade icon is based on the pac-man arcade machine which is arguably the most famous arcade game so it made sense to use it. You're obviously free to rearrange it for your own personal use though.

Also you added the words 'multiple arcade machine emulator' underneath the logo. To do so you used a different pixel resolution to that of the main logo and that's something I avoid with the theme to keep things consistent (it's why it's not added to the official icon).

Nice to see you're having fun with the theme though and personalising it to your own taste.
