      I think this is going to be the final one, I made some changes on the face, hair, boots, stroke and color adjustments

      This is great! Love it.

          @Wildfire I'm also very anxious to see how wonderful that was ...

            Any thought put into differentiating the Famicom and Famicom Disk Systems? They have the same logo and characters.

            Not sure what you could use as the character but the logo could be changed to something more like this...

                @chicuelo NeoGeo snap looking great now!

                Sharp X68k has many good releases but most famous would be Castlevania, found this great snap for it. Simon Belmont.

                    @rand0m Not the same image but this one is a more recognizable pose, you can update the repo and find the assets there

                        @Wildfire Stunning work, just stunning!! Lovely mods, great work and thanks for sharing! Would you possibly share these mods at all? I switch between this theme and Hursty's SuperSweet, and I think what you've done here is great. I really enjoy modding themes as well, props!

                          @chicuelo hi, thank you for the amazing theme but i have some issues. For some reason ES doesn't load up logos, characters, controllers etc. How could i fix this?

                          "/recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/themes/Chicuelo/snes/../theme.xml")
                              could not find file "./_assets/logos/${system.theme}.svg" (which resolved to "/recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/themes/Chicuelo/snes/../_assets/logos/${system.theme}.svg") 
                          lvl1: 	  Warning from theme

                            @Boywond Are you using recalbox? This theme is for Retropie.

                              Hey there :)

                              While troubleshooting something else entirely, I noticed my es_log.txt registers this error when the Chicuelo theme is loaded:

                              lvl1: Warning from theme "/etc/emulationstation/themes/Chicuelo/custom-collections/theme.xml"
                              (from included file "/etc/emulationstation/themes/Chicuelo/custom-collections/../theme.xml")
                              could not find file "./_assets/characters/${system.theme}.jpg" (which resolved to "/etc/emulationstation/themes/Chicuelo/custom-collections/../_assets/characters/custom-collections.jpg")

                              Basically, this means 'custom-collections.jpg' is missing from the _assets/characters folder.

                              I don't use custom collections at all, however the error is still logged regardless if you use it or not. You will probably find this yourself on your own build at:
                              /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_log.txt

                              To solve, we need a custom-collections.jpg to be present in the _assets/characters directory. Do you have an image for this? If not perhaps some sort of placeholder to suppress the error?

                              Hope this helps.

                              Cheers :)

                                @movisman Thanks for the point. I have disabled all the display texts on my setup so I didn't notice any log, however I will make that png so the theme works fine.
                                One issue I have a few times is when I change between systems, sometimes the character is not displayed until I restart or enter a game and quit. Basically when Es is restarted. I don't experiment this scince the last changes we made on the theme, because now the main bg is dark where the character.jpg is placed, before that it was white. Maybe some improvements on the xml fixed that.

                                    Great, thanks a lot! I will update when I get chance and see if the log is clear now.

                                      That is odd, I must admit I have not seen that ever before on the main system select screen, it has always worked really solidly for me - I will keep an eye out to see if I can replicate it.

                                        @movisman Maybe my build has some issues. I checked the es_log and Its full of missing Roms, because I deleted lots of them but the xml still have them. Is there a way to clean the xml properly? I tried CLR mame pro but not succeed
