Slowly making progress. The famicom-mini theme is now fully updated to 1080p and I'm now working on the Nes-mini theme. I've also finished off a few more logos ready for the next batch of systems so thought I'd show those now. These were all drawn by myself with the exception of the 'Famicom' logo which was copied from the real Famicom mini menu, I did however draw the Katakana that is displayed beneath (hopefully without any mistakes).

Found this on Reddit and just came here to say this theme is looking amazing!! Can't wait to see the finished version. Keep up the good work!!

Love this theme :)
I'm going to go with a Pi Zero/NES only set-up so this will go perfect with it.
Hopefully see a new version #soon

@ruckage awesome! I love these themes. Just curious though, why didnt you put the logos on bottom and the button info up top?

Hi @edmaul69,
Honestly, I hadn't even considered putting the logos at the bottom. For me personally it seems far more natural to have them at the top as they are essentially a title.

Not sure if its been asked already but any chance of adding a PS1 section?

I'll put it on the todo list, if anyone has requests for other systems let me know here.

Awesome work! :)
-
Thank you for all your hard work @ruckage !!!!

@ruckage Finally had a chance to test out the theme. First off it's MUCH faster than the previous versions.
But, I am running into a problem with not being able to see the menu art (system selector art)... everything else works great.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks again for my one of my top 3 favorite themes!
-
@ruckage Absolutely amazing. This is my favorite Emulation Station theme ever. YOU KILLED IT!
Two things though:
- System logos on the main screen aren't working for me (I'm using a Pi Zero)
- Game names with accents and some other symbols don't display correctly. (i.e. Pokémon or 720º)
Otherwise, this is perfect.
I also added the NES Classic music using the tutorial you linked and runcommand splash screens to my build so it feels even more complete.
-
Installed the theme on the PI3 I use for testing/messing around on & all was good.
Until i updated RetroPie to the latest version then all (apart from Gameboy for some reason) the system logos on the main menu vanished.

Keep it up, but a small request as it seems many themes forget this but Kodi. I like kodi in its own menu. If that, ps1 and arcade are done, that pretty much covers everything I do with retropie. Maybe one day I'll look into how to to make a theme and add them myself as I'm quite handy with photoshop.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
- System logos on the main screen aren't working for me
I honestly can't understand why the logos wouldn't display, it works correctly on my Pi 3 with Retropie 4.1.
For those having this problem can you tell me what version of Retropie you are using. Also have you tried restarting the pi after changing the theme?- Game names with accents and some other symbols don't display correctly. (i.e. Pokémon or 720º)
This is a known issue and is due to the font only supporting ascii character set. To be honest, I don't know how I can fix this as I had a great deal of trouble getting the gamelist to display how I wanted it to due to a bug in ES textlist spacing and had to resort in the end to manually editing a font to make it work.
It may be that some of the characters are just missing completely in which case as long as they are part of the standard ascii set I can add those characters to the font.
-
Missing system logos: I installed the theme on a fresh install of Retropie (4.1). All was fine. After I updated to the latest version (4.1.17?) is when they vanished.
Tried restarting RetroPie , rebooting the Pi3 & deleting the theme & adding it again but still the same.
Think I might try a fresh install of RetroPie, update it to the latest THEN install the theme.

@DigitalMonkey
Thanks for the reply. I have another pi3 so I will put the latest retropie onto it and test myself as well though it sounds like something may have changed with ES in the latest version which has broken the theme :( -
Just tried installing RetroPie, updating to latest version & then installing the theme.
Still the same problem.
Best not update my other Pi just yet!
