Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

[Sarai]

Any way we could have support for Kodi as a system on the main menu instead of inside ports? I followed this guide to get mine running but in your themes I get a black screen since it doesn't support Kodi.

@sarai
Kodi is on the to do list (see first post in this thread).

I'm looking forward to a new update, maybe with Scummvm and nes/snes mini. Thank you for the great work.

Question.
I have downloaded Portable EmulationStation for Windows and the NES Mini Theme doesn't work. Is there some alterations I have to do for the source code to get it to show up for the windows version?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

@mrwasi I run mine with portable es on windows and snes mini and nes mini and Famicom mini all work great

[mrwasi]

@greekmanx The images don't show up for me when I change themes. Was there anything you had to do?

[greekmanx]

@mrwasi no nothing special just put in theme folder

@mrwasi
You have to use the latest version of ES, where are you downloading the portable version of ES from?

@jdrassa has a repository with a version of ES that is always up to date: https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases/tag/continuous

AWESOME!
Yes all I needed was an updated version of ES. Thanks so much!

Now I just need to figure how to add music to ES for Windows.
All the vids I watch are for Retropie :(

@ruckage, any chance of an 800 x 480 layout? I know no one ever in the world uses that resolution, but i have an eeePC which uses it and it would be really awesome to be able to use the theme there :)

@ruckage PAL support too. 720x576

I made this Splashscreen Video based on the Loading Screen made by @ruckage and the original NES Intro Startup if somebody is interested:

@malixx Thanks a lot :)

@malixx WOW, just what I allways wanted (seriously), it only needs that bleep when loading the disk and I will use it as my boot screen with not doubt

[Malixx]

@sergioad Thanks! Well I could make a version with that bleep if you find it (actually I don't know what you are talking about :p)

[ruckage]

Hi everyone, just thought I should make a post so you didn't all think I'd deserted you. Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been quite busy but I am reading your posts and appreciate all your feedback. Normal service will resume soon :)

@Malixx Cool splash-video I really like it.

For anyone interested I actually made a couple of splash-videos myself, they're actually included with the Snes-mini theme but suit this theme as well. You can get the from the snes-mini github if you like them. Gif previews and download links are below.

@malixx never mind, I did not heard the bleep because of the player on my pi

One thing I thought of:

Would it be possible to do a US Dreamcast color scheme? The US Dreamcast had this reddish-orange color as opposed to the blue that you got in Europe.

Hey guys. I was playing around with the snes theme and was able to add the kodi icon in the menu (assuming you already followed the howto guide in the wiki). I looked at the NES mini theme and the process was just about the same as the SNES. If anyone wants to add it simply do the following:

1. Download the NES theme.
2. In the theme's root folder create a folder called KODI.
3. Copy the files from another theme (I copied all the files from the auto-lastplayed folder)
4. Modify the logos and add the KODI logo (use your favorite graphics editor here)
5. Copy the es-theme-nes-mini-master folder to your rpi's theme folder \retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\themes
6. Select the theme called es-theme-nes-mini-master

Here are the modified images (if anyone is interested)
