I'm very thankful for having the chance to work with you guys!\n\nSome controllers used in this theme are created by great artists who kindly agreed to include their art within the theme - here you can find their artwork:\n\nRicky Romero - https://dribbble.com/RickyRomero \\\nDavid McLeod - https://dribbble.com/Mucx \\\nCraig Erskine - https://dribbble.com/craigerskine \\\nMemory Noise - https://dribbble.com/memorynoise\n\n###### [back to top](#chicuelo-emulationstation-theme)\n\n---\n\n### Features\n\n* Unique custom artwork for every system\n* Custom collections pre-designed / created for various genres (such as Shoot 'em Up, etc)\n* Collections for 'All Games', 'Favorites', 'Last Played' and 'Custom Collections' fully supported\n* Support for various 'alternative' systems (such as TG-16, Famicom, etc)\n* Power menu 'system' included (for users that require one)\n* Video capable\n* Support for screenshots/boxart and/or video. Marquees are not utilised in this theme.\n\n###### [back to top](#chicuelo-emulationstation-theme)\n\n---\n\n### Installation and Updating\n\nTo install the theme, use the theme installer built into RetroPie-Setup. You can follow this guide: \\\nhttps://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/themes\n\nYou can also update the theme within RetroPie-Setup: \\\nRetroPie Setup Script \u003e\u003e Configuration / Tools \u003e\u003e esthemes\n\n**Default theme options - for an improved user experience, once the theme is active, adjust the following options within EmulationStation:**\n\n- UI SETTINGS \u003e CAROUSEL TRANSITIONS: NONE\n- UI SETTINGS \u003e TRANSITION STYLE: INSTANT\n- UI SETTINGS \u003e ON-SCREEN HELP: OFF\n\n**However, if you wish to enable the on-screen help change the following option:**\n\n- UI SETTINGS \u003e ON-SCREEN HELP: ON\n\n**If you wish to enable a 'slide' effect for the logo when transitioning between systems, change the following option:**\n\n- UI SETTINGS \u003e CAROUSEL TRANSITIONS: ON\n\n###### [back to top](#chicuelo-emulationstation-theme)\n\n---\n\n### Compatibility\n\n**This theme is designed for a 16:9 aspect ratio. Currently the theme is not fully compatible with a 4:3 aspect ratio.** It has been tested with both 1080p (1920x1080) and 720p (1280x720) resolutions. Other 16:9 resolutions will likely work with no issue due to the scaling that EmulationStation performs.\n\nTested on Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu based x86 PCs.\n\n###### [back to top](#chicuelo-emulationstation-theme)\n\n---\n\n### Theme Notes\n\nThis theme supports video. You can also use a scraped image in conjunction with the video. If you scrape both, when a game is selected, it will show the screenshot for a couple of seconds before fading and playing the video.\n\nThe dot indicator is not included in the theme - it is just a fake indicator made for my personal use, so it will not work correctly on your setup.\n\nGame screenshots are not included within the theme. You can scrape your own - you should use game boxart/screenshots and/or videos.\n\n###### [back to top](#chicuelo-emulationstation-theme)\n\n---\n\n### Screenshots\n\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo1.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo2.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo3.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo4.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo5.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo6.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo7.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo8.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo9.jpg?) \\\n![Image](http://www.chicuelo.com.ar/archivos/chicuelo10.jpg?)\n\n###### [back to top](#chicuelo-emulationstation-theme)\n\n---\n\n### Supported Systems\n\n3DO \\\nAmstrad CPC \\\nApple II \\\nArcade \\\nAtari 2600 \\\nAtari 800 \\\nAtari 5200 \\\nAtari 7800 \\\nAtari Jaguar \\\nAtari Lynx \\\nAtari ST \\\nColecovision \\\nCommodore 64 \\\nCommodore Amiga \\\nDaphne \\\nFamily Computer Disk System \\\nFinal Burn Alpha \\\nGame and Watch \\\nGame Boy \\\nGame Boy Advance \\\nGame Boy Color \\\nGamecube \\\nIntellivision \\\nMAME \\\nMSX \\\nMSX2 \\\nNeo Geo \\\nNeo Geo Pocket \\\nNeo Geo Pocket Color \\\nNintendo DS \\\nNintendo DS \\\nNintendo Wii \\\nNintendo Wii-U \\\nNintendo 64 \\\nNintendo Entertainment System (NES) \\\nNintendo Super Entertainment System (SNES) \\\nPC / MSDOS \\\nPC Engine \\\nPorts \\\nResidualVM \\\nScummVM \\\nSharp x68000 \\\nSony Playstation \\\nSony Playstation 2 \\\nSony PSP \\\nSteam \\\nSEGA SG-1000 \\\nSEGA 32x \\\nSEGA CD \\\nSEGA Dreamcast \\\nSEGA Game Gear \\\nSEGA Master System \\\nSEGA Megadrive \\\nSEGA Saturn \\\nVectrex \\\nVirtual Boy \\\nWonderSwan \\\nWonderSwan Color \\\nZX Spectrum\n\n**System Variations:** \\\nFamicom / Family Computer \\\nSuper Famicom \\\nPC Engine CD-ROM² \\\nSuperGrafx \\\nTurboGrafx-16 \\\nTurboGrafx-CD \\\nSEGA Genesis \\\nSEGA MEGA-32X \\\nSEGA MEGA-CD\n\n**Other:** \\\nKodi \\\nRetroPie Setup \\\nPower Menu (in case you have one, name it 'power' or rename the folder)\n\n**Collections:** \\\nAuto All Games \\\nAuto Favorites \\\nAuto Last Played\n\n**Custom Collections:** \\\nAction, Adventure, Beat 'em Up, Fighting, Fixed Screen, Kids, Platformers, Puzzle, Racing, RPG, Shoot 'em Up, Sports, Strategy\n\n## Partially Supported Systems\n###### (logo and description complete, however no character background or controller/machine image is present at this time):\n\n\nVideoPac \\\nNEC PC-FX \\\nApple Macintosh \\\nDragon 32/64 \\\nTandy Colour Computer (coco) \\\nOric Home Computer \\\nPC 8800 Computer Series \\\nSam Coupe \\\nTI-99/4A Home Computer \\\nTandy TRS-80 \\\nMESS \\\nZ-Machine\n\n**Collections:** \\\nCustom Collections (for when a user creates their own collection within ES)\n\n**System Variations:** \\\nOdyssey 2\n\n###### [back to top](#chicuelo-emulationstation-theme)\n\n---\n\n### Using an Alternative System\n\nThere are various ways of using an alternative system instead of the primary system (TurboGrafx-16 instead of PC-Engine for example), but here is one example:\n\nRetroPie uses a file called platforms.cfg to generate the system configurations for es_systems.cfg. You can create a custom platforms.cfg and this will override the default system for regional variants such as the Sega Genesis instead of Megadrive, TurboGrafx instead of PC-Engine, Magnavox Odyssey instead of the Videopac, etc.\n\nTo do this, create a platforms.cfg in: \\\n/opt/retropie/configs/all/platforms.cfg\n\nname, extensions, platform (used by es for scraping), and the theme can be overridden, see [HERE](https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/platforms.cfg) for the default platforms.cfg\n\nHowever, the below is an example of changing the theme elements only. Here is a valid platforms.cfg:\n\nmegadrive_theme=\"genesis\"  \nnes_theme=\"famicom\"  \npcengine_theme=\"tg16\" \nsega32x_theme=\"mega32x\" \nsegacd_theme=\"megacd\"  \nsnes_theme=\"sfc\"  \nvideopac_theme=\"odyssey2\"\n\n**Note that with any custom platforms.cfg you create, you'll need to update at least one emulator for every system you changed in order to generate a new es_systems.cfg with the changes from platforms.cfg.**\n\n###### [back to top](#chicuelo-emulationstation-theme)\n\n---\n\n###### README.md written by [@movisman](https://github.com/movisman)\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frollecode%2Fes-theme-chicuelo-custom","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frollecode%2Fes-theme-chicuelo-custom","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frollecode%2Fes-theme-chicuelo-custom/lists"}
