@ruckage awesome job as always!

Will you release launch images for those newly added systems aswell?

Already done, I updated them the same time as the theme. You can get them here: Launch Images

@meleu If you'd like to update the launch images for your rpie-art script please do.

@ruckage is there a way to not have the game zoom in when you click on it to start? I saw on your video once you click on the game it just goes and does have the zoom in as it does on default.

Also- when do you plan to upload the new snes theme onto ESTHEMES. Excited :)

ruckage

@skr1b
It's because you have the trasition style set to 'slide'. Change it to 'instant', it suits this theme better anyway.

skr1b

@ruckage ah perfect... thanks

and how about that snes theme on ESTHEMES? :)

greekmanx

@skr1b it already is

skr1b

@greekmanx it is? It must have been done within the last 24 hours? I checked last night and it was not. That is awesome if so!

@ruckage just sent you a donation mate. Thanks for the hard work and awesome themes. Love them!

Best theme for the Pi so far. Just also installed the SNES theme while testing my new Pi Zero W and it looks absolutely gorgeous!

I'll throw in some more donation money if I can request 4 more systems for the Minis:

PlayStation 2 (Sony, 2000)* for those few ES users in x86 builds
Satellaview (Nintendo, 1995)
Videopac (Philips, 1983)
Apple II (Apple Inc., 1977)

I would love to add the SuFami Turbo (Bandai, 1996) to the list, but that would be for another time since this was merely a hardware add-on by Bandai that was licensed by Nintendo for the Super Famicom, and plus you already have your hands full with some of my earlier request for the time being.

Again, kudos to you @ruckage. Keep up the good work! :)

Good idea, i use them too :)

I would love to add the SuFami Turbo (Bandai, 1996)

I don't know it before lol ... Thank you for having discovered it :p
It is not really a system ... only 13 games on this system, with 6 SD Gundam!
And how do you play them on PI ? Is it possible to merge two games like in real life ?

I think it can be a very good idea to add the MSU1 one!
There are many MSU1 games, and it is the MegaCD of the SNES ;)

@ruckage Hey, man I wanna say that I love both of your NES and SNES mini themes. I was wondering if you were planning on adding Gamecube and Wii systems to both themes?

@ruckage Is there any reason that installing this theme would mess up my gamelist.xml files? Seems like after installing this none of my boxart / videos on certain systems are working and then spotty on others. Not sure if its due to the theme or something else? But haven't really change anything else...thanks

@thewanderingriot @darknior @SP
I'll have a look at adding some of these sytems, I'll add them to my todo list.

Hi, the theme will have nothing to do with that, it must be something else causing the issue (themes are literally just visual in nature, they have no control over gamelists).

Is the update available from RetroPie Setup? Tried to update and got a git pull failure. SNES Mini downloaded fine through Retropie Setup.

@livefastcyyoung
Hi, I just checked and yes it's available and working.

Maybe it was just a glitch, give it another try. If it still doesn't work then maybe try uninstalling the theme and re-installing it rather than updating.

@livefastcyyoung

If you edited the theme, that is the problem as Git didn't track your changes since you didn't commit them into the repository. My advice is to make future changes into the "~/.emulationstation/themes" directory.

A Former User

Gotcha. My es_systems.cfg is the only thing that was edited to change the order of the systems.

Thanks @ruckage and @PokeEngineer!

Hey there Ruckage, like how the themes look. How much longer you think until 4:3 support is added?

@ruckage First off, I want to say that I just recently installed your theme on my retropi setup and I have to say that it's one of the most beautiful and nostalgic things I've ever seen. Great job on all of the hard work you have put into it!

Secondly, I wanted to see if it was possible to make the theme support the 1920x1200 resolution? When I was younger I apparently thought 1920x1200 was the cool resolution to have when in reality it's just a pain in the ass because most things support 1080p and will letterbox on that monitor. Thanks again for all of the time and effort you put into this theme!
