@ruckage GAH these look so amazing! Great job!

Also I know what you mean about working alone. When you put as much sweat and work into a project, it's hard to take on additional help because you want to push it all out yourself. (/me pats your shoulder) I totally get it. :D Keep it up! Looking AMAZING.

Thanks :). Yeah, I totally agree. I just find it really satisfying to produce something single-handedly and it's nice to feel proud of something that was all your own work, (I know a few bits of this theme originated from the Nes classic menu but the vast majority of it is now my own work) I'm sure you feel the same way.

At this point sharing the workload on this theme would feel a bit like giving away my baby :D.

Right, back to work! No time for slacking, I have lots more icons to draw.

[ruckage]

Another 10 icons completed.

[DragonCrystal]

Love the icons! Cant wait to see the layouts for the other systems when you get to them ^_^

Ruckage is killing it with this pixel art. WOW.

[lilbud]

@felleg Me thinks @Rookervik might have a worthy opponent in the field of pixel art

@ruckage How would I scale this theme to a different resolution?

It depends. If you tell me the resolution I can try and help.

Give me a minute and I'll tell you what to change. In future versions I'll try and add an xml option for various popular resolutions to make things easier.

@lilbud

Unfortunately it looks like it will be impossible to get the gamelist to line up exactly at this resolution - this is as close as is currently possible (I really wish the gamelist scaling was better/fixed).

Open the nesmini.xml

Find the gamelist section (look for <textlist name="gamelist">)

Change the following 3 lines to the values below

• <pos>0.2958333333333333 0.2155</pos>

• <fontSize>0.06</fontSize>

• <lineSpacing>2</lineSpacing>

As I said this won't be perfect but it's at least an improvement.

Hello. I'm from Argentina.

First of all, sorry for my bad English.

I became a user just to say how much I like this theme.

I was about to buy a Nintendo Classic for my daughter, but seeing what I can do with a raspberry and this them I am convinced that I will give her this.

So... thanks.

Ps: Is there any chance that you make the american super nintendo system and icon (the white and violet one)?

No video support yet but I do plan to add it.

this would be great!!
Remove the meta plot info and place a small video there?

[Rookervik]

@lilbud Aye, I'm digging his pixel icons for the systems. LOVE EM! Tho I have some tricks up my sleeve. :D

[lilbud]

He's got some Twix up his sleeve!

@backstander Omg.. Facepalm! .. I love it! 😆

@ruckage Congratulations on the great work, several users recalbox would like to use this your amazing theme, I can help make the proper adjustments if you authorize.

Cheers,

@backstander This (carousel view) is breathtaking, tbh.

[ruckage]

Sorry for not replying for a few days and thanks to everyone who has commented.

Thanks. I'm sure your daughter will be really happy with a Raspberry pi. I will be doing a USA snes variant icon which will be included but the standard Snes will be the default icon.

Hi, I've replied on the recalbox forum. I will be happy to port this over to recalbox myself but it will be once the theme is more or less complete.

Carousel Icons Update.

I've have been busy making more icons, only a few left to make now to cover all currently supported systems then I will be able to get the carousel images made and finally get the carousel updated. Here's the latest batch.
