Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

WHOA these news ones are some of the sexiest yet, VB and Ports, whew <3
I agree, those two are particularly impressive.
-
This is certainly the greatest ES theme ever, and getting better day by day. I'm using it in a NES Classic clone project and everything is looking great.
@ruckage , when you are finished with the theme, could you also provide "runcommand launching images" even if they are made via the script in this topic? https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7193/runcommand-launching-images-for-any-theme
They would certainly be a great addition to the neatness of the theme once it's done. ^_^

Finished another system - this one was fun to make :) .

Sure, obviously it will be one of the last things done though as getting systems added is more important.

Unique, appropriate and gorgeous.

@ruckage
I can't remember if it was discussed already but are you going to do something more with the carousel? -
@ruckage Are you a graphic designer? wtf this looks so professional, my mind doesn't understand! Keep them updates coming! AMAZING work.
-
the background for daphne looks awesome. Makes me wonder what background you will choose for amiga? I cant wait...
Thanks again for this.
-
It has now been added to the retropie theme installer, so you can install/update via that if you 'Update RetroPie setup script'. :)
-
@dankcushions First, I'm really glad this is finally an "official" theme. I have a two questions, though:
- Should we uninstall the theme first if we already have already installed it manually ?
- Will the updates through the script synchronized with the updates in this forum thread? I'd like to have them as soon as they are ready as I'm really interested in a few of the systems that aren't ready.
Thanks in advance for the info, I'm pretty new in Retropie but I've already made many advances towards having the perfect retro microconsole. ^_^

Has anyone else had issues with the scroller and gamelist being off-centered? The top selection is centered, but as I scroll down it gets further from center. I have tried messing with the line spacing, but I haven't been able to fix it. I looked through the forum to see if it's a known issue, but I haven't found any solutions. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3, running Retropie 4.2.2. Any help would be appreciated.

It's because you're not running the theme at 1080p - if you switch to 1080p it will work correctly. It's basically due to an ES gamelist bug (explained in more detail earlier in the thread). I may have a solution for a future version but even then it would require editing an XML if you wanted anything other than 1080p.

Thanks. No, not a graphic designer. I just enjoy drawing and really like pixel art.

That's great, thanks :) . As @Serj-Targarien said, how do updates work with the theme installer? Will it automatically get updated when I make changes to my git repository?

@ruckage
Carousel is in, I updated from source a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's available with the basic installation though. I check RetroPie's GitHub daily lol.If you're interested I could make a graphical mock-up for my idea for the carousel. It may be a couple of days before I get to it though.
-
@Syhles I think you have to udpate from source, if you update from bianary you get V2.1.5RP and i think the carousel is on V2.1.6RP

I'll look into into thanks. I'd prefer to come up with my own ideas for it though. First I'll need to make sure that theming the carousel wont break the theme in older version of ES as that would be bad.

@ruckage
I'm not sure of the XML code for it but it's the same thing video uses to not break older versions of EmulationStation it's something like <feature supported carousel> or something along those lines hang on I'll find the wiki or whatever for it. -
@ruckage
Nevermind I couldn't find the wiki or whatever ever I was looking for, the <feature support> thing I was looking for is identical to the one for video, just replace video with carousel. Also I'll get on my computer either today or tomorrow and give you all of the XML information you need to start on the carousel.My idea for the carousel was to use three boxes like the ones used for the game images or boxart. The middle box being larger then the left or right box.
With the bottom of the middle box being used for the games available information. This way the theme stays cohesive throughout, but this is your child (lol) you put all the work into the theme and it's ultimately your decision. I'll be using this the regardless if you go the route I suggested.Also one last question what are you running retropie on?
-
@Syhles can you send the carousel info my way as well. I tried testing the feature supported on my build and it did not work properly for one of the older ES builds, so I didn't implement any of it at this time. I might have done something wrong on my end though as i couldn't find a good wiki on what is supported with the carousel coding either. Thanks!

@Syhles
Do you have a link to the forum where they're working on the carousel mod as I'd like to read up on it (would save me hunting around for it)?I'm running Retropie on a raspberry pi 3 and and a raspberry pi 2 (but doing most of the theme testing on my PC). I have a rpi zero as well but need a few adapters before I can set that up.
