Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

mahcneto

Thank you for making this awesome theme :)

I can't update ES at all. Whenever I try it says "Could not install package(s): libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev vlc-nox"
Is anyone else having the same issue?

Hi there. Great theme! This is probably the best RetroPie theme I have seen yet! I really like the touches you made to the games menu for Gameboy and Virtualboy. I see that there is an option to change the carousel icon to the US SNES logo. I saw that all I have to do is change the name, but where and how do I do that?

Sorry, I don't know what could be causing that. As It's not a theme specific issue you would be better off asking the question in the Help and Support section of the forum where more people will see it.

Hi.

There are 2 ways to do it.

Option 1:

Go to the nes-mini theme folder.
Find the SNES folder within it.
Open theme.xml in a text editor

Change this line:
<path>./carousel_logo.png</path>
to
<path>./carousel_logo_US.png</path>

Save the file.
Restart EmulationStation

Option 2:

Go to the nes-mini theme folder.
Find the SNES folder within it.
Rename: carousel_logo.png to carousel_logo_EUR.png
Rename: carousel_logo_US.png to carousel_logo.png
Restart EmulationStation

@ruckage hey brah, any idea when you will have a new update for this excellent theme?

Hyruleslink

@ruckage Thanks that seems easy enough. How do I find the nes-mini folder? In the File Manager?

@hyruleslink use winscp to get into your pi and go to /etc/pi/emulationstation/themes folder.
There you'll find the nes-mini theme with all systems.

In your theme, did you make the "NESCyrillic_gamelist.ttf" font yourself or did you get it from somewhere? If you did get it from somewhere, where might that be? I'm asking because I noticed it was different from the regular NES Cyrillic font.

Hi! Thanks for this great theme!
But it's possible to remove number "played" or leave it to 0? I dislike this ....
I try to edit xml file but I don't found...

Thanx for help!

Sorry for the late reply. The gamelist font is a modified version of a font I found on bitfontmaker2, I changed several characters and also the baseline height (necessary at the time to make it work correctly in this theme).

Not easily I'm afraid and if you did you would just have a blank space instead. Does it really make any difference it being there?

Thanks. :)

Greetings ruck, hope I don't sound like a bother with this since you're really busy tweaking with this amazing theme, but do you think you could curiously do the Sega Mark III, Capcom Play System, and Megadrive Japan, even if the latter two is just a logo work to your previous stuff if you can please?

I'll do the honor of donating to your beerfund right away if it pops up on your to-do list. I look really forward and patiently to see how this awesome gem shapes up! :)

@thewanderingriot
I've added them to the list, however CPS and Megadrive Japan will be lower priority as they are already supported in some form. Having said that as Megadrive Japan will only need a different logo that may be done sooner.

@ruckage
No problemo, ruck!
Anyways, one beerfund comin' thru! :D

@ruckage
is there a layout option as shown in your preview images? or am i just blind?
The one with just the artwork on one end and all the metadata on the rioght.

ruckage

@jcarhat
Hi. Not sure what you mean, can you post a link to the preview you're talking about?

Thank you, that's very kind of you.

@ruckage could you add support for the favorites and recently played categories?

@sergioad @ruckage said in Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes:

Those layouts look good, though it looks like it would be a very manual process as you'd have to position the screenshots by hand so that the characters are the focus, are you planning on doing all games for all systems or just select games?

@evildindon said in Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes:

Oh btw, will your theme support the new ES features (favorites, all games, last played, etc.) ?

Yes, I've been working on those amongst other things. Here are the icons for 'Favourite', and 'Last Played' as proof that I am actually still working on the theme ;).
