SNES mini theme

I can't see any problems in the config.xml.

You say it says: "XML parsing error: file was not found".
What file exactly is it saying it can't find?

R4L

@ruckage
There are about 20 errors. Each say the same thing:

lvl0: from theme "/etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/theme.xml" XML parsing error: File was not found

That's all it says I'm afraid. I have checked that directory and theme.xml is there with info inside. Maybe it has to do with me editing the XML file in nano?

New to RetroPie.org, so apologies if this has been addressed already. After searching, I either did not use the proper search terms and or did not find the answer...
I have a Pi3b with the latest RetroPie build installed. I had used the in app theme downloader to pull down SNES-MINI. I do love the theme and I have been able to customize it to my liking.
But one thing I have noticed is the icon for the number of players only works for 1 player. If a game is 2 player, the icon is missing.
I am on a 16:9 display and have the resolution set at 1280x720 in the config and it matches the config.
Is there any steps that need to be taken to allow the icons to show up? I have configured to text, but I do enjoy the icons much more.
Thank you in advance

@theotherdan Your data is scraped incorrectly in those cases. You probably scraped from somewhere that displays 2 player as "1 - 2" or "2+". The player field should be an integer of the max players for a game.

@livefastcyyoung Thanks! That didn't even cross my mind...

ruckage

@theotherdan
Yeah, @LiveFastCyYoung is correct, that is most likely the issue.

I have added roms and art to both github recommended file locations:
videopac
pcenginecd

Just wanted to say, I love what you've done here! I installed your theme and it fits perfectly! Thank you for making this!

@ruckage Is this going to be compatible with 3.5" screens with 320x240?

Here's one I made. This isn't intended as any kind of attempt to finish the authors work, love this theme. You can find instructions elsewhere in this thread to add the image.

Here's a Kodi icon I made, just wanted to share. This isn't intended as any kind of attempt to finish the authors work, love this theme. You can find instructions elsewhere in this thread to add the image.

Hey! I'm basically new to raspberry pi in general. I was wondering, will this work on the Raspberry Pi Zero W? and if it does, how well will it work?

Edit: Also, are you able to choose what regions the carousel are? (NES instead of famicom etc.)

This theme looks really cool and I'm super excited to get it up and running.

This theme is simply the most gorgeous one I have seen so far. Well done!

@ruckage said in SNES mini theme:

I've made some icons/logos for the classic collections. I'm working on the backgrounds now.

@ruckage Would I be able to use these with the NES mini theme? I have a NESpi case and would ultimately like to see the top and bottom of the theme in NES instead of SNES. Or is there a way for me to change the border type of the SNES theme to NES?

Ultimate goal is to have custom collections of the mini classic systems, along with the NES borders at the top and bottom, whether it's using the NES or SNES theme.

Thanks for all you do. I absolutely love your themes. Your passion and hard work shows!

So is this still being updated or are you on to new themes?

ruckage

@redbatman
It will be updated, I'm just busy with my own projects at the moment.

How dare you! ;)

Seriously though your themes are absolutely stunning. I have two raspberry pis and I have the NES mini theme on one and SNES mini theme on the other. Cant wait to see what you cook up next!

@ruckage Hey, this theme is great! I love your SNES mini and NES mini themes, they are my favorite.
Anyway, I followed ETA Prime's tutorial (bottom of post) on how to stream steam games to retropie using moonlight. The fact that there was no logo bothered me enough to make my own! I'm posting it here in case anyone wants to use it. I don't mind if you add it into your theme, or heck, maybe this'll inspire you to make a (probably better) logo of your own!

MOCKUP SCREENSHOT:
Mockup
(I do not have the ability to take a screenshot on my raspberry pi, at least I don't know how; thus, this is a mockup screenshot I created. Some things in this mockup will appear lower quality than they would if you imported the assets correctly into retropie. The largest inaccuracy in this screenshot is the "2 games available" text, as it is a different font)

OTHER NOTES:
UPDATE: I made an NES Classic version of this, too! Click here to check it out!
I did not make a background for the "tron" versions of this theme. If anyone would like to make some steam-inspired one, though, feel free! I might get around to it if I get more spare time.
I hope you enjoy! This is my first time posting on this website, let me know if this is the wrong place.

Is there a animated/video splashscreen that would go nicely with USA theme?
