SNES mini theme
-
I installed and love the look of the theme few bugs I found so far 1st one that was mentioned the #number of players not only is garbled but also displays 2 random f systems across the gamelist for all games with a 1- something . A disable option if this can't be fixed. would at least get rid of the eyesore. Also in the config menu behind all logos you can see the toad logo that says box-art is in another castle. And then as for missing features I would love to even see a generic collections icon and menu for my collections. also a Y for Favorites with the others in menu like X for Random and what not. Otherwise thanks for all your hard work and the great theme ruckage. Also making it so customization is very welcome and awesome of you.

Not sure what you mean by 'displays 2 random f systems across the gamelist'?
I don't plan to change the way players are displayed. Even on my NES/Famicom themes which use text it would not display correctly if formatted as '1-2' or '1-4' as it wouldn't fit in the area provided. It must depend on the scraping source as all my scraped metadata has players as a single digit (scraped from screenscraper.fr using sselph scraper).
The simplest fix is just to open your gamelist.xml in something like notepad++ and do a search/replace on '1-2' and replace it with '2', very quick and easy.Also in the config menu behind all logos you can see the toad logo that says box-art is in another castle.
I'll get that fixed, I will probably just have to remove him completely (He wont appear now if you set the view mode to video).
And then as for missing features I would love to even see a generic collections icon and menu for my collections.
It's not possible at the moment unfortunately due to the way this theme is structured (this uses a single base theme.xml instead of a folder per system), If I find a way I can do it without adversely affecting performance then it will be added in the future.
also a Y for Favorites with the others in menu like X for Random and what not.
Yeah, I just hadn't got round that yet - it didn't seem all that important and I'm not sure yet if I have space for all of the button information (particularly in the USA SNES view and when 4x3 support is added.) I will look into adding though.

@ruckage thanks ruckage for reply and the random f thing I did a workaround by putting the rating and player number on right side as for y for Favs would rather have that to arrow keys myself also thanks for suggesting easy way to fix the 1-2 player thing

A little bit offtopic, but speaking of 4:3 support, does the NES/Famicom-mini theme support 4:3 TVs or is this something new you first time implement into a theme of yours?
-
As I've said, very good theme! All I need now is a logo for the MSX System, then I can die happy^^
-
Will this be added to the ES themes section for an easy download? Also how do usually people install themes via USB?

Don't think it works simply via USB. I used WinSCP to put the theme in /etc/emulationstation/themes .

Hopefully. I've got a few updates I'd like to do first though.
The easiest way to install a theme is via samba. If you are using windows the pi will show up under 'network', double click on it. Open the 'configs' folder.
Open the 'all' folder.
Open the 'emulationStation' folder.
In here create a folder and name it 'themes'.
Place your themes in the the newly created folder.This is from memory so I apologise if I've made a mistake.

Hi. The Nes/Famicom themes support 4x3 TV as well but only NTSC at the moment - I will be adding PAL support as well though.

I must have missed it then. Gotta check if I have the latest version of the theme first. NTSC is just fine for me since we have NTSC over here in Japan.
Thanks! -
@ruckage As promised earlier, just made a donation to thank you for your awesome work !
Your theme matches perfectly my setup, everything works flawlessly.
Just a thing : if the game name is too long, it scrolls to the left .... But never comme back if you stay on it. Can you make it go back and fourth, like the game description ?Anyway, thanks a lot for this theme, and the NES Mini theme as well

I made a donation too, hopefully it will be enough for a pint :)
I tested the theme yesterday on my laptop (my tv screen is 720p so no way for now), and I like it even better than NESMini. The blue spectrum backgrounds are top notch, are the blurred screenshots included too? I'd like to try them.

@pokeengineer
Sorry for not replying sooner, I've updated the repository name so that it matches the nes/famicom themes. -

Thanks for the donation, that's really kind of you.
The name scrolling is down to ES and isn't something that I can control via the theme itself. You could try asking in the ideas and development forum to see if it's something the devs would be interested in adding. -

Thank you, that's very generous. I appreciate it.
All the background variations are included. If you read the '## CUSTOMISATION GUIDE ##.txt' in the theme folder it will explain how it works.

@ruckage your good, this worked

Hi ruckage, first of all based on the published video the new snes theme looks superb! quick question, I noticed that you boot directly from the splashscreen into the menu, so the terminal text and the EmulationStation logo is not displayed, did you do it by hidding the tty logs? usually I preferred seeing the events in order to detect if something was wrong during boot, but I would like to try what you did, where I can find information for replicating the same behavior in my Raspb?
-
@lord-raziel
Yes, I hid the tty logs, there are several tutorials explaining what to change to make the boot as silent as possible.To hide the EmulationStation splash screen you have 2 options:
-
Option 1) Make a splash video thats long enough so that ES has already loaded by the time the video ends.
-
Option 2) add the argument --no-splash to autostart.sh. The line should read: emulationstation --no-splash #auto (this is the method I used).

I've updated the theme. Download here: https://github.com/ruckage/es-theme-snes-mini/archive/master.zip
@greekmanx The help buttons have been updated so they include 'Favourite' and 'screensaver'.
@greekmanx I've added an option to display number of players as text.
@FatWhiteLump Fixed the filename for the nds logo.
Changed ${system.name} to ${system.theme} as advised by @jdrassa.
Here are some pics showing the new help buttons for the carousel and gamelist. It also shows the players as text option.
-
downloaded the theme and is customizing it Oh cool, you even used the American English spelling of "favourite" on the gamelist and system help images. Nice touch!
