Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

@ruckage That is completely fine. I've noticed a lot of work going on in the NES/SNES themes, so I believe you should probably try to take a break and come up with concepts to make something different.
"What do you play games on?"
"A LEGO brick."
"LEGO What? -
Well I'm not leaving it behind just yet, I have a target of at least getting all of the systems on the to do list finished. I'm working on the SNES theme and my super famicom build so that's given me a bit of a change. I do have some completely new theme concepts though which I'd like to start work on at some point.
-
I know you are working on this and this and Snes theme so no rush just pointing it out haven't seen it mentioned yet but Nes mini doesn't show press X for Random Game and Y for Add to Favorite in bottom left corner of screen.
-
I'll get them added in the next version.

Wow, this is some awesome work!! my New favorite Theme, thanks for that. Hope to see MSX anytime soon :D I renamed Arcede for now so i dont have the empty space in the carousel :P
-
Hi @ruckage , just registered to say thanks for such a superb work. Nesmini is my favourite theme ever, looking forward to see what you have in store with the SNESmini theme.
Now, if I'm allowed to slip a humble request, have you considered supporting the Sega Saturn? lots of oldie classics there, like Sega Rally or the Panzer Dragoon series.

Hi.I can add Sega Saturn to the list but is Saturn actually playable on the raspberry pi? I know it's supported but I'd expect it to be really slow and the videos I've seen of it running on the pi seem to back that up.
-
Hey @ruckage . I've been trying to get this theme running for a while now. I keep getting the white screen that everyone talks about. Well, I finally read (skimmed) through the million posts in here and discovered that I need to update Emulationstation. I just did that, and it works great!
Now, I am updating Kids Mode from source in hopes that it will work as well. My Retropie stays in the play room, so I really like the kiosk mode that is part of Kids Mode Emulationstation.
-
@ruckage ok, I thought it was a bit strange the absence of the Saturn in the supported list but I understand now :)
I can't really tell sorry, I'm using your theme on a windows 10 PC, and at least there the Mednafen Saturn core works like a charm. I don't really know anything about hardware, but I would expect the requirements being on par with other consoles of its generation like Playstation 1 or N64.
I do have a RPi, but it's the old B+ model and probably wouldn't perform brilliantly. Maybe someone with a RPi3 might chime in?
By the way, I had the same issue as @R2dTOO: I had to use the 1.x versions of nesmini because version v2 wouldn't work with the current official windows version of ES. That was until I updated to the last windows build by jdrassa, it works flawlessly now (many many thanks also to @jdrassa).

OK. This theme does not work with Kids Mode. It is built on an older version of Emulationstation. Hopefully the developers will update it soon.

@Zigurana is working on Kiosk mode for the main branch which I believe also incorporates kids mode. Link: Kiosk Mode, coming back [testers needed!]

From what I remember I think the Saturn requires quite a powerful PC to emulate it. If you search for videos of Saturn playing on a Raspberry Pi 3 it's painfully slow.
However as you're using a PC that won't be an issue for you. I've added it to the list but it will probably be one of the last systems I add support for as emulators that run well on the RPI take priority.However I will be adding default theme support in the next update so at least then you will get a generic theme for missing systems.

@ruckage This makes me happy! I'll go check it out.

@ruckage That is great, thank you!

1120th post.
Also to keep up the positivity, this is the best theme I've ever seen. Ever. This needs to be the official RetroPie Theme.
Or heck, if there's a modified version of EmulationStation that imitate the NES Classic, this should be the theme (maybe with some changes to make it look very similar to the NES Classic). -

maybe with some changes
If you cut the intro out of this video, you can replicate the 'demo mode'

@itsnitro
I was thinking about doing something like that a while ago...
-
edit: Nevermind, solved my issue.

@ruckage Hey ruckage! I just stumbled upon your mini NES theme today, and its AMAZING! The perfect theme for my RetroFlag NESPi case.
I have 2 system requests, if you find the time, Is it possible you can add MSX and DOS to the theme?
Thanks!
Once again I LOVE your work! I really want RetroFlag to make a SNESPi case now :P~John
-
@ruckage Thanks for all your work on this theme, very cool.
Can I request support for 800x480 resolution screens?
On my 5" display some of the elements don't quite line up. This is on a Pi3 with EmulationStation V2.6.3RP.
Using the 1280x720 layout, the carousel is perfect but the gamelist is a bit wonky.
I've tried playing with the xml myself but couldn't get it right. Thanks

@itsnitro @lilbud I edited the video of the NES Mini Screensaver, I also cropped the original video to make a borderless version of it.
