Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

Nodever2

@ruckage Hello, it's me again :) You may recognize me from the SNES mini thread. Visit that thread for more info; basically these are steam icons for this theme (I decided to make NES mini versions of that too!)

MOCKUP SCREENSHOT:
Mockup
(I do not have the ability to take a screenshot on my raspberry pi, at least I don't know how; thus, this is a mockup screenshot I created. Some things in this mockup will appear lower quality than they would if you imported the assets correctly into retropie. The largest inaccuracy in this screenshot is the "2 games available" text, as it is a different font)

OTHER NOTES:
For you SNES-Classic theme users, look no further than here!
I hope you enjoy! This is my first time posting on this website, let me know if this is the wrong place.

Do you have an estimate of how many grams it is? (Without the Pi in it)

Thanks,
Sorry if this is badly formatted, I’m new to this forum.

@davec2020 Saturn doesn't work on the Pi, wouldn;t make sense to create it.

@edwardthehuman

But it works on PC.

@stuart2773 Hi! I'm wondering if you already have finished this theme, it looks awesome and I haven't found nothing more accurate to the NES/FAMICOM MINI Themes.

It is for ES?

Thank you!

Ok, this isn't anything amazing but thought some people might be able to use it. Just something I whipped up fairly quickly to make it look a bit better.

Just wanted to say that I really love this theme and I hope you continue development on it!

Not sure from this post whether you like or hate the theme. Perhaps English isn't your first language and something is being lost in translation.

Just a quick update on the theme. I'm currently in the process of porting over the nes-mini theme to the snes mini theme the aim being that the snes,nes, and famicom mini themes will all be contained within one big customisable theme. It will hopefully be easier maintaining 1 theme rather than 3 separate themes and it will also mean that the Nes-mini theme can benefit from all of the customisation options of the Snes mini theme.

So far I have all the backgrounds ported over, it took a fair amount of work as despite the layouts of the themes being very similar the borders are actually larger on the snes mini theme so I've had to adjust all the backgrounds to take this into account. Likewise the nes borders had to be adjusted to match the taller borders used on the snes theme.

There is still quite a bit to do but its looking good so far and I hope everyone will be happy with this change.

Sounds great! I always used this one as opposed to the SNES mini one for whatever reason. Using it on my PC now and it works great.

@livefastcyyoung
Thanks for the reply. Hopefully once ported the snes-mini theme should be able to replicate this theme fairly accurately with only minor changes - though at the moment it's proving more of a headache than I originally anticipated....

ust tidied a few things up with the theme and will upload it somewhere so anyone who would like it can get it. I'll post again once it's ready.

@ruckage can this theme be installed on EmulationStation Windows?

Because if so....i've tried it and it only shows white background with black text...

i've already fused my brain tooooo much and out of resources so please help me out.

Yes, I've installed successfully - but you'll need the RetroPie version of Emulationstation, not the - no longer developed - version from Aloshi.

@popopopo

@mitu is correct, in fact I develop the themes entirely on the windows version that @jdrassa kindly provides. You can find the version of ES for windows that you need here: https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases/tag/continuous-master

Hi everyone. I've updated the snes-mini theme so that it now incorporates everything from the nes-mini theme. See this post for more info: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12583/snes-mini-theme/708

@ruckage Hello, this image Is it compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 B +?

Hey guys, I was able to install the theme successfully and everything seems fine. The box art for all my games is missing as well as the information on the box that is on the right side. Where do you get the artwork and everything else? thanks!
