Hi,
i have download the "es-theme-nes-mini" master yesterday (16/08/2017), unzip it in "\recalbox\share\system.emulationstation\themes".
But when i choice it in the theme's menu, the menu is all white.
I reboot recalbox and it is ever white, i have no pictures of the theme.
There is something to modify into the xml to make it works ?
I'm running 4.1 unstable from 27/04/2017.
Thank you

@dem1980 For now, the theme is for Retropie not Recalbox

Any update on this? Ruckage has since released a SNES Classic Mini theme for Retropie, so I understand if he's been busy. I'd just love the NES theme to go with my NESPI case but don't wanna go Retropie. Ruckage, are you still following this thread? I'm sure myself and many others would donate to your PayPal to make this happen!

@n0signal I think it's not possible at the moment to port these themes to recalbox due to ES customization. Some features needs to be implemented first (carousel I believe) to recalbox ES.
@ruckage maybe you can give a feedback on this?

[Pablo Macaluso]

The best themes are for Retropie. Maybe the EmulationStation of recalbox, its old ...

[Substring]

@pablo-macaluso It's mostly a community matter ... Some people do port Retropie themes for Recalbox. The differences between retropie and recalbox are not just the carousel : systems name is one of the main reason.

[ruckage]

I'd still like to port these to recalbox though they will need quite a few changes as Retropie ES has had a lot of changes this past year that my themes rely on. The snes mini theme in particular would have to be basically re-written as it relies on variable support.

[ruckage]

@substring
I'm working on some ideas for porting the nes-mini theme to recalbox and think I have a good idea for how to adapt the carousel syetem icons so that it will look good on recalbox.
It would help though if there is a Windows build of the version of Emulation Station that Recalbox uses as it makes it much easier for me test. Is there a Windows build of the Recalbox EmulationStation that I can download from somewhere?

[rockaddicted]

@ruckage Hello nope there is no windows build of our emulationstation.
Currently, we (the recalbox's team) are working on last stable release.
But we have some WIP on ES that is waiting to be merged.
Once done, you should be able to convert your theme in the closest way to the original.

So I think that the best thing to do is waiting some weeks before starting our conversion's work.

[Substring]

@ruckage no windows build at all i'm afraid ... Regarding carousel, the code is ready, not just yet embedded in Recalbox I have thoroughly tested the carousel some months ago, it does work well. It will come shortly after the 4.1 release

[ruckage]

@rockaddicted @Substring

Thanks for the replies, that's good news regarding the improvement you're making. I think waiting would be beneficial then so that I can take advantage of those improvements.
Regarding the windows build of ES it may be worth looking into that. We have an amazing user on the retropie forums by the username @jdrassa who setup an automatic build so that there is always an up to date build available for Windows, it makes theme creation much easier.

[Substring]

@ruckage i have no idea how to compile that in windows lol I'm just too used to linux now. Anyway the source code will be released with 4.1. So yeah, might be worth for you not to rush porting your theme yet

[sheyk90]

Hi @ruckage !! When do you think will be available your nes and snes mini themes for Recalbox?? I hope soon because I love them. Thanks

[lackyluuk]

@sheyk90 please be patient. It's currently not about @ruckage but about recalbox's version of ES. It will be updated soon and then I think he will start with the port of it.

[ruckage]

@sheyk90
Hi,

As @lackyluuk I'm waiting for the updates to recalbox then I can begin porting them.

Thanks, but recalbox was updated a weeks ago and emulationstation it's the same...

[lackyluuk]

@sheyk90 No worry, the team is working on it

As far as I know the changes to ES haven't been implemented yet, as soon as they are then I can begin porting the theme. It would be a waste of time to try and port it before then.
