Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

Loquo

One suggestion:

Edit the font for use not-usefull characters for the following icons (in line with the change "#" for folder icon):

Some not-useful character for "WRONG" icon (something like a "X" or "!" in a triangle warning icon). This could be useful for marking not-working games.
Some not-useful character for "MEDAL" icon (or something similar). This could be useful for marking beaten games.

I hope you can considere this.

Thank you very much for such wonderful theme!

@ruckage Do you accept donations? I would very much like support for PC Engine CD and Super Grafx. I realize these can fall under the PC Engine section, but I think of them as different consoles, much like Sega CD and 32X. I would be more than happy to reimburse you for your effort.

The work you have done on these themes is incredible. Thank you very much!

@loopyeddie PC engine CD is already supported.

This would be possible but not sure how useful it would be or what characters could be used. It would have to be a character that isn't usually used in rom titles but also one that can be typed easily on a standard keyboard and that doesn't give many options. Also other than yourself is there a demand for it?

Hi. As @quicksilver said PC Engine CD support is already included. SuperGrafx is on my to do list as well so will be added eventually.
If you'd like to support my work though donations are always greatly appreciated and there is a donation link in my signature.

Nice to see you around these parts @ruckage. Hope all is well!

Hi @ruckage !

Thanks for your answer.

I only plant the seed, and if other people think like me, maybe you can consider for future updates.

Anyway, I am going to put this idea to emulationstation developers. Maybe they can add something similar to the frontend itself.

Regards!

@Loquo That repository hasn't had a commit in nearly a year. I don't think it's still being maintained, although I could be wrong.

Hey @LiveFastCyYoung . I'm fine thanks, hope you are too. I'm in the beginning stages of a bartop arcade build at the moment which will keep be busy for a bit - gotta take advantage of the weather here when we can as we don't get that many months when it's good enough to work outside.

Hi @LiveFastCyYoung ,

Did you know another emulationstation repository where I could send my feature request?

Thankes.

Edit: I have found the fork for RetroPie: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/issues/564 I hope this repository could take in consideration my request.

@quicksilver @ruckage I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing the PC Engine CD art resources. I'm looking in "/etc/emulationstation/themes/famicom-mini/" and I see all the other consoles, but no PC Engine CD. Am I missing something?

mitu

@loopyeddie It's not present in the famicon-mini theme, only in the snes and nes mini themes.

ruckage

@loopyeddie

I didn't realise it was the Famicom mini theme you were using, that is missing some of the systems that are available in the nes and snes mini themes.

The plan for the future is that all 3 themes will be combined into the Snes mini theme so that there is only one theme to maintain (it already contains all of the nes mini content).
For the time being though I've uploaded a zip file to mega.nz which contains the PCE-cd theme folder for the Famicom-mini theme.
To use just copy the pce-cd folder contained in the zip file to your famicom mini theme folder.

@ruckage Love the mini NES theme, i made carousel icons for Kodi, Apple2, Atari ST, Atari XE, Channel F, and NES Hacks. I was wondering if you wanted to use them for your theme?

Manucien25

@jon624 hello could you send me those arts I would like to have them in this beautiful theme created, a question could you create the PS2 art :D

chiefcrazybonez

Sorry for the newb question but, can't find anything on the subject:

How do you map this theme to show the snes-usa icon/background/etc?

Would someone be able to help me fix the game list of this theme please?

I see only 6 games listed out of the 7 rows.
When I scroll only the first 6 have games listed. The 7th is always blank.

My monitor is 2560 x 1440. The theme is set to 1920 x 1080.
Using Retropie on Ubuntu x86 PC.
Using the NES Mini version.

Thanks.
