SNES mini theme

Planetdune

I would love to have the following systems added:

BBC Micro
Apple 2
Amstrad CPC
3DO
Atari ST
Atari Jaguar
Atari 800
Saturn
Gamecube
Wii
Playstation 2
Playstation 3

Probably a few more but this should cover the basics.

If anyone wants it, here is the PNG version of the Apple 2 file posted some years ago. This was not made by me but it was uploaded as a JPG file which lost all its transparency. I just converted the file format and (slowly) added back all the correctly gradient colored transparency. Maybe this also inspires someone to make some of the systems in my previous post for the community to enjoy.. I can edit but not create unfortunately. Until we get official versions to replace them with :)

Here is a Amstrad CPC one. Now this is based on the artwork found here:

Again, I cannot create, only edit so I did my best to scale and edit the artwork so it uses the same size rectangle box in our theme here. It isn't the same style but it is "close enough". The logo above the picture isn't very good at all but, for me at least, this is better than just having a white box with plain text.

This is how it looks between the other correctly themed systems:

Here is my Nintendo GameCube edit. I have to say, this came out better than expected! I'm pretty happy with this one. Hopefully someone else can use it as well :) Maybe I'll try to re-edit the Amstrad one to get a better logo in... I'll see... still got a few systems left to iconify :)

Here is my edit for the AtariST system.

@Planetdune These pngs look great. Have you thought about making one for the Solarus engine?

I'm focussing on the systems I don't have images for, sharing them as I go :)

This is based on the Creativision art that was posted long ago in this thread. It wasn't complete so I finished it up in the traditional style.

Probably my last edit for a while, the jaguar..

Did one more, the Supergrafx

@Planetdune These look so good!! Any chance of a TurboGrafx-16 CD? Actually on that note, what consoles are missing at this point, and how can I help lol

Brent_Hamel

So I decided to try making it myself, I think it turned out ok, its basically just a recolour of the PC Engine CD Icon. I made the Logo's for this and the SuperGrafx as well. Hopefully they fit in style-wise ok!

Planetdune

@Brent_Hamel Very nice :) I think the big ones missing are the more modern stuff that do have emulators, the Wii, the PS2 and even the PS3 emu is coming along at rapid pace. Oh and the Saturn I believe, would need to check but have a mental note on that system so I'm guessing it is MIA.

is it possible to theme the main menu and options menu in emulation station?
I really want to use the snes mini theme but whenever I press start it completely breaks the look and feel.

if not can you open a github request to allow main menu and options menu theming?

Shadowblitz16

There are a few more issues I have found since posting this.

The boot screen for this doesn't fit the theme at all something about the retropie project
There is no Love2d box art

RetroPie's version of EmulationStation doesn't allow themes for the options or menus. The theme also doesn't provide any help message theme info, so you should disable the help system from the options to get a consistent look and feel.

@Planetdune and @Brent_Hamel thanks for sharing your icons :)

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to configure this theme correctly for Retrobat. My TV's resolution is 1024x768. When I set the theme style to snes_usa and the appropriate resolution, it does not yield the layout I selected (a.xml), which is supposed to list the developer, publisher, and game artwork on the left, the genre, description, and ratings on the right, and the gamelist content in the center. Instead, my screen only shows the content that is supposed to appear on the left side, the gamelist content on the right, and omits everything that should appear on the right. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can fix this problem? Thank you for any suggestions :-).

By the way, I have updated Retrobat to the latest version. If anyone has any input, it is greatly appreciated.

The theme is nice!! I based on the original design of the mega drive system icon and made a Japanese version for my Picade. Please feel free to use them if you are interested.
