[RETROPIE THEME - PORT POSIBILITY] Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes

[jrochagouveia]

I agree with you... I'm working in a theme inspired by super mario all stars but I'm just a beginner. I'll send some news. Great new features in this recalbox version!

[ruckage]

Sorry for the late reply, now the changes are implemented I'll get to porting the theme. You'll have to give me little time.

@ruckage Hi,
I already worked on your theme (just structural changes, not art) to adapt it but won't release. What I can do is provide you the files so you can have a look.

Thanks, if you can send it to me I can have look to see what changes you made. I'm planning to re-format the theme but that would be helpful to show me how the new features work.

[supernature2k]

@ruckage ok will send you a link in pm asap

[amzg]

[amzg]

@ruckage any news?

thanks

Hi @ruckage , Could you tell the status of your theme? I'm waiting so excited for a months. Thanks for you effort

[ruckage]

Apologies for the delay, I've had a lot going on this past month so haven't had much time, I will get the theme ported very soon though.

No problem, Thanks at all!

[Anders Northbane]

@ruckage thanks a lot for this, hope the porting is going as planned. Do you happen to have some ETA for when it's done? Can't wait to try it out.

[jrochagouveia]

any news about the theme with recalbox new version?

[Substring]

@jrochagouveia one rule is to never ask any ETA for people who invest their free time ! If @ruckage has some update to provide, he'd have said it already

[ruckage]

Thanks for the support @Substring , and you're correct I'll post as soon as I have anything ready.
That being said I honestly don't mind people asking how things are going as long as I'm not being nagged every 5 minutes .

I've been very sidetracked recently for various reasons - most recently because grid view has just been added to retropie which is very exciting news and I want to add support for it to my themes. I think I've kept you all waiting too long already though so I will get to work on the recalbox ports starting today.

So in answer to you question @jrochagouveia no news yet but there will be soon

Out of interest which theme are you all most interested in? The nes mini theme or the snes mini theme?

[FloppyFred]

Very good news @ruckage ! you're the best !
I follow your works since the beginning of your nes theme for retropie and it's amazing !
Your upcoming "grid update" of your snes theme will be great and original compared to other themes !

For Recalbox you can start with your NES theme which was your first theme on retropie !
But I like your 2 themes so whatever you do, this will be great for me !

[jrochagouveia]

@substring I'm sorry... I'll wait for the updates.
@ruckage my vote is for snes mini theme. I got a Odroid XU4 and now I'm dreaming about a N64 mini theme. I think Simply Austin is working in something... I'll wait for it too.

[amzg]

@ruckage my vote is for NES mini theme.

Thanks!!

[jeehaisse]

@ruckage Thank you! I also have been waiting for your themes to be compatible with recalbox, so reading your post is great news. Best of luck updating your themes for retropie and/or porting them to recalbox, I will refresh this thread every once in a while hoping for the best, I already have both nes mini and snes mini home screen bgm ready

[behemothcult]

Hello, sorry for my English since it is a Google translation. In the end, what happened to the nes mini theme for recalbox? Go ahead to the end?

[jeehaisse]

@behemothcult Well it's been a very long time since this port has been announced, but I am doing nothing to help so I wouldn't dare complain about anything. I just hope Recalbox will get NES and SNES themes someday because they are awesome is all

[allan.garcia]

Hello everyone, I just uploaded a port for SNES Mini theme (made by @ruckage) to Recalbox. If you're interested checkout at:
EDIT MODERATION

[mediamogul]

It should be noted that @allan-garcia's port is an unauthorized effort and explicitly goes against the original author's wishes. The theme's license clearly states that any changes are only allowed for private use. To thoughtfully accommodate Recalbox users, @ruckage announced above that he is developing an official port himself, that will likely be maintained in parallel. Mr. Garcia was politely informed of this and willfully chooses to ignore both ruckage, as well as the terms of the license.

This may not seem like a big deal to some, but violations like this often discourage authors to continue work on a project and sometimes even drive them away from development in general. I hope this will not be the case here and I hope that Mr. Garcia will come to see the light on this issue. I think we all can agree that ruckage is a very talented and hard-working artist, as well as overall developer. It would be a shame to lose his presence in this community, as well as those like him.
