Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

@ruckage The theme definitely updated. I have the new, smaller missing box art image.

Still missing the new carousel though.

Also noticed the folder icons for folders starting with # is missing now. Did that change in this version?

thanks for the quick reply. So would maybe a HDMI-to-Composite Adapter be my solution for this specific problem?

Honestly I'm not sure as I don't know anything about how these adapters work.
If they work by taking a 1080p signal and downscaling it to sd resolution then it should work but I would imagine that would also introduce extra lag which would be unwanted.

Something is obviously not right with your setup for some reason. I tested on my pi by updating retropie and installing the theme using the built in theme installer and It works as expected. Folders haven't changed so as long as you have the # symbol they should work (also tested on my machine to be sure).

Try connecting to the pi with winscp and go to etc/emulationstation/themes and delete the nes-mini theme manually. Restart retropie and then install the theme again.

i just installed emulationstation from source and installed the theme from the installer and it works as intended for me with the new carousel etc.

Thanks for verifying that for me. Is the folder icon working as well?

A Former User

Turns out I am getting an error when installing from source.

Taking this to another thread. Thanks!

@ruckage yes adding a # to a folder name adds the folder icon.

Hi I couldn't get it to work until I read what you said about updating the pi. I followed the instructions and I updated my pi I deleted the theme manually restarted my pi copied the theme over again and it works perfect. It looks amazing thanks for all your hard work.

Thank you for this theme, it works great.

I had to apply the fix for a smaller tv to get the postions correct for text (someone asked in the thread).

I now have the NES-Mini's music in the background with this too. It's nice. :D

Out of curiosity, if we want to downgrade the theme back to the original carousel, or download the older versions of this theme, how could we go about doing that? Thank you for this amazing theme, btw. My family and I absolutely love it!

The latest update of the theme looks great but I can't use it use since it's missing icons for these 4 systems: pc, 32x, dreamcast, msx. So they show up as blank spaces when I scroll around. Other than that this is probably the best theme for emulationstation so far. Great job.

@itsnitro When I'm playing a level in super mario bros 3, the one I've been playing for a while. Before it didn't slow down when I got to the boos, now it does even since I installed the theme.
