      I have to ask though - why does it need it's own category?

      It does depend on how you configure it. You can just have one entry that launches Steam in Big Picture Mode and you can have more entries that launch a specific game. An example: I have Big Picture Mode using 720p60fps and a 2nd entry for 1080p30fps and I also have a custom entry for Ghost Recon Wildlands (which isn't even in Steam...it's Uplay) briefly described here:

      Moonlight is mainly used to play Steam games but there are Nvidia GeForce Experience optimized games that may or may not be on Steam (like Wildlands). Here's a tread talking about making custom launch scripts for Moonlight:

        So really the system name should say "Nvidia GeForce Experience" or "Moonlight" but I'm okay with the simple "Steam" lol

          Also I didn't mention that people running the Linux x86 build with RetroPie can install Steam locally on the same machine and then they can make scripts to launch games using Steam's built in "steam://rungameid/" function. These scripts can be stored in the ~RetroPie/roms/steam/ folder as well.

            Etaprime made a video showcasing your theme, thought it was cool and wanted to let you know.

            Here's the link:

                I have noticed you didn't put "Steam" and "Ports" in the theme so I did :P

                      Hello! ETA Prime brought me here I tried installing this theme via his instructions. Which i used winSCP to go inmy retropie backend, I placed the nes mini theme in my emulationstation/themes folder. I went back into my Retropie i saw Nes Mini theme was there i selected it but when I cruise the theme its just blank white background/black text. i scrolled through my emulators and it was like this for all of them while using this theme. Can you provide any help on getting this running?

                        Have you made sure when you extracted the zip that you only copied over the theme folder itself? It could be when you extracted the theme it extracted to a folder within a folder if that makes sense.

                        The base folder should be called 'es-theme-nes-mini-master' and inside that should be lots of folders for all the systems.

                        If you open 'es-theme-nes-mini-master' folder and inside is another 'es-theme-nes-mini-master' folder that's wrong and won't work.

                        Not sure if I'm being very clear but I hope it helps.

                          Sometimes you have to restart EmulationStation before the theme will work.

                              YES!!!!! That's it!

                              WOW... that is a thing of beauty.

                              Thanks. It's getting to the point where a large chunk of systems are now supported. There are 12 systems left on my todo list and once the todo list is worked through I'll see about sorting out a 4x3 version.

                              There are 40 supported systems now (some of them not released yet but will be in the next version).

                                As long as it's not for commercial use and I'm credited somewhere and it's not modified in any way then that will be fine. Please make sure the readme which includes my license terms and link to this forum is also included.

                                Thanks for asking before using the theme, I appreciate it.

                                  That was actually on the list, I must have deleted it by accident. I'll re-add it.

                                  I've actually updated the first post in the topic with useful theme information such as todo lists and downloads so it's easy to find now.

                                    Yes it is non-commercial and will always be like that.

                                    Is it OK if give credit on the release notes?

                                      Thought I'd show the progress being made for the next version. I have some bugfixes I'd like to make before releasing it but in the meantime here's a GIF showing the new systems (Virtual boy, Ports, Atari Lynx, SG-1000, and PSP).

                                        If you'd still like to add this to the Retropie theme manager it's on Github now. Not sure If you'd want to add it now or when the next version is ready as that will fix a few minor bugs.
