        You have to use the latest version of ES, where are you downloading the portable version of ES from?

        @jdrassa has a repository with a version of ES that is always up to date: https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases/tag/continuous

          AWESOME!
          Yes all I needed was an updated version of ES. Thanks so much!

          Now I just need to figure how to add music to ES for Windows.
          All the vids I watch are for Retropie :(

            @ruckage, any chance of an 800 x 480 layout? I know no one ever in the world uses that resolution, but i have an eeePC which uses it and it would be really awesome to be able to use the theme there :)

                          Hi everyone, just thought I should make a post so you didn't all think I'd deserted you. Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been quite busy but I am reading your posts and appreciate all your feedback. Normal service will resume soon :)

                          @Malixx Cool splash-video I really like it.

                          For anyone interested I actually made a couple of splash-videos myself, they're actually included with the Snes-mini theme but suit this theme as well. You can get the from the snes-mini github if you like them. Gif previews and download links are below.

                              One thing I thought of:

                              Would it be possible to do a US Dreamcast color scheme? The US Dreamcast had this reddish-orange color as opposed to the blue that you got in Europe.

                                Hey guys. I was playing around with the snes theme and was able to add the kodi icon in the menu (assuming you already followed the howto guide in the wiki). I looked at the NES mini theme and the process was just about the same as the SNES. If anyone wants to add it simply do the following:

                                1. Download the NES theme.
                                2. In the theme's root folder create a folder called KODI.
                                3. Copy the files from another theme (I copied all the files from the auto-lastplayed folder)
                                4. Modify the logos and add the KODI logo (use your favorite graphics editor here)
                                5. Copy the es-theme-nes-mini-master folder to your rpi's theme folder \retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\themes
                                6. Select the theme called es-theme-nes-mini-master

                                Here are the modified images (if anyone is interested)

                                    @kal-el-1981 Thanks but I prefer leaving work on this theme to Ruckage. I don’t expect him to get to everything but I figured I’d offer up the suggestion for the different region Dreamcast.

                                      @livefastcyyoung... @ruckage does an AMAZING job on his themes! I love how customizable he's made them for us. I usually try to handle little things like color changes and regional variants of his systems for myself so that he can tackle the important stuff for his themes. That guy's an artist!

                                        It's an easy change so I've added them as optional extras to the theme so they will be available in the next update. I'll do the same for the Snes theme as well with the advantage that they will automatically show if you set the region to USA in that theme. In the meantime here are the updated images if you want to use them. I left the background itself blue as that matches the dreamcast packaging in the USA.

                                            I was going to ask about that a while back, but I forgot... Thank you.
