      Ah, so you were that guy. You wanna know what we did to that guy at our school? Do you? We were as nice as we possibly could be, in the hopes that we could play 'Splatterhouse'!

      Haha, I actually still have my TG16 HuCard for Splatterhouse:

      Not as cool looking as the PC Engine version:

        I would seriously frame that one.

          Been really busy lately so it'll be a while before I can do an update with the added systems in the Pixel theme.

            Are you still up for MetaPixel updates?

            I'm wondering if we could get Stratagus added since we discovered exactly how to get it to work. I installed Pixel from the RetroPie ES Themes menu and it seams to have stratagus even though I can't find it on https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-pixel.

              Still been busy so have only lately been getting around to it. The following have been added: BBC Micro, Channel F, Mega-CD, Oric, Stratagus, and SuperGrafx. This should being it up to parity with Pixel's 1.93.

              Updated Dropbox

                  Just wanted to pop in and say that this is probably one of best looking themes I've seen for EmulationStation but there's just one minor flaw that I want to point out in case you didn't already know.

                  The accented e in Pokemon doesn't display properly it either skips the word making it Pokmon on RetroPie or puts a disgusting looking space there on desktop.

                    @mattrixk @CourierSS can I add video support to your theme to make it compatible with @fieldofcows fork and upload it here?

                      Mattrixk is the one who would get back to you on that one as he's the creator, but adding videos would be pretty nice.

                        I'm sure most theme creators will add video support once it is introduced into the main retropie fork of ES.

                          @Rookervik I believe that has already occurred.

                            @synack Ooh man. It's in our main branch? That means I can probably update ES and get the video previews? That's semi-exciting.

                                @Nismo I don't really know what that is, but I can look into it.
                                @CthulhuAndFriend I noticed that yesterday with the Asterix games removing the 'e'. I think the font itself is missing those letters.

                                  @mattrixk Now emulationstation support to displat video instead of images if video are available.

                                  I'm making a new theme and ported pixel theme to support video too.

                                  I like your theme so I want to add video support (maybe you want to do it yourself) and share it here with the community.

                                  Here's an example of pixel theme with video support i made:

                                  Regards.

                                    I use it to prevent spam, what could you possibly need to email me for after I activate my account?

                                      @CthulhuAndFriend Why would you get spam ? Your email is private by default on the forum.

                                      Also for things like password recovery etc. And the fact you were getting email notifications which were bouncing.

                                      It's not up for discussion anyway.
