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.

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)?

@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.

[lilbud]

@ruckage How are you configuring the carousel to show the icons correctly? I've tried with a theme I'm working on and can't get the icons to scale correctly.

You'll need to give more info on the exact problem (if you can provide the theme for me to look at that would be even better). I admittedly haven't tried it on the raspberry pi itself yet but from my tests on the windows version of ES scaling works perfectly.

@ruckage Looks awesome! Just had a quick look at your other posts so sorry if I missed it : will there be a Kodi icon too?

There will, but not until there is a Kodi system :D.
Actually, you can answer a question for me since you use Kodi. What is the benefit of a separate Kodi section in retropie?

[DigitalMonkey]

@ruckage There's no real benefit apart from (IMO!) it looks nice having it on the main menu.

Plus adding it to the main menu makes it the first 'system' you see after booting up. Which, for me, is handy as I spend bit more time using Kodi than playing games.

By default, the systems appear alphabetically. Anyone who has any systems before 'K' will still have to scroll to it. I have 39 systems in the carousel with Kodi being one, so it takes me quite a bit to get there.

@ruckage
Icon scaling is a pain with the carousel when using icons that have largely different sizes from one another, speaking from making carousels for 3-4 different themes on my personal setup.
