Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes
-
I've just noticed the Z-index support has also been added to the main retropie branch (which is good) but it does make me think that this could possibly be a problem if the z order of metadata text is now different (reading the documentation is says the default values should be the same as they always were but maybe not...). Has anyone else installed the very latest version of ES and if so can you tell me if the metadata is visible?
EDIT: I'm currently installing ES to my raspberry pi from source so that I can check myself, not sure how long it takes to compile though. If there is a problem I'm sure I can fix the theme but it's always a bit of a concern as I don't want to cause problems in the older versions of ES (hopefully the <feature> tag will prevent this.)

I've just finished installing the very latest version of ES from source and have confirmed the issue. I will look into getting fix made as soon as possible. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. -

@ruckage Happy to help! Thanks again for this amazing theme! =)

Love the theme, added the nes classic song to the background. Really brings it together. I'm having a bit of trouble.
Let me first off say I am new to both retropie and emulationstation so I might be missing something easy. Anyways when in the games list I can not see the published, developed by, genre, rating, played or number of players info. The meta and images work however. I used the sleph (name?) scrapper and checked the gameslist xml to make sure all the relevant data is there. (which it is)
The only other thing I can think of that would cause the issue is I'm using a 720p tv currently as its the closet set to my computer. There are other graphical glitches such as alignment so this may also cause the text not to appear?
-
@ruckage I just submitted a fix. The default z-index values were not being set for the metadata fields for detail view.

@jdrassa
Thank you, I appreciate your work. -
@jdrassa
I've just installed the updated ES from source and can confirm that the metadata is now visible again :). -
@ruckage love the theme, especially the new tile style. Will there be a Kodi tile or just ports? Thanks for the great work.
EDIT
I broke the first rule and didn't read. I see that Kodi is on the to-do list. My apologies. -
@ruckage I'm one for simple ordinarily, so like clear and concise/space so when I saw this, although I thought it looked really cool, I passed on it.... Until this evening. I've installed and I love it. I think it looks so much better in the flesh than it does on the forum: the videos and screengrabs don't do it justice.
Admittedly, I have just skim read through the 585 posts, but currently can't see any mention of development for the Amiga? I know this is a 'spare' time hobby, but wondered if there's any plan to introduce it in the future?
I'm always amazed and what people do for Retropie, wish I had the time to contribute something like this, it's awesome...

@Danorak1981
Thanks, glad you like it.
Amiga is on the to do list so will be added at some point in the future. -
As others have mentioned I would totally use this but it's missing the 1 system I need, the Sega 32X!
I'm building a NES mini replica system with all the retro consoles and everything is there minus the 32X.
Outstanding work by the way, I thought I would never stray from Tronky Fran but I love the style of yours and it's much more fitting!!
-
There is a to do list in the first post of this thread and 32x is one of the systems on that list, it will be done but I can't say when as themes take a great deal of time to make and its all done in my spare time.
-
@ruckage Oh man I can't wait! Now you got me on the edge of my seat for the 32x so I can use the theme and finalize my build!
I registered here to comment on your theme and I will be using it hopefully sooner than later!
Thank you again!

@ruckage I hear you, they take so much time!

Since we were discussing systems I was curious if there are any plans for the North American model of the Super Nintendo?
I only recently am getting into my retropie so I'm not sure if that console is even possible to change the theme like the genesis or TG16?
Or since it's the same name it's as easy as a image change?
-
@prophecy the NA model of the Super Nintendo IS the Super Nintendo. In Japan it was called the Super Famicom. If you see "Super Nintendo" that's the NA version.
-
@cafarellidigital I'm guessing @prophecy means the SNES icon that is used on the main menu.

Not entirely true, it was called the Super Nintendo in many other places but using the proper design rather than the purple and grey monstrosity that NA got ;)
As I'm from the UK I went for the design I remembered, I will however be making an alternative icon so everyone is happy :). -
@ruckage
I'm owned that purple monstrosity, I feel we got shafted. Everywhere else had the nice looking snes where we had the purple tank.Its cool that you are adding it though.
I'm not sure if it's been requested but could we get pc-engine cd. I know that the 32x has been requested.
