      Yeah i know there was the alternative 240p binary thing a while ago, which i didn't quite figure out, or at least didn't see a major difference from. Plugged into my old commodore monitor with a stock setup... the games looked just fine to me though, but the menu text was hard to read. So a simple "big" theme like this will be valuable for me, as I swap between a big HDMI tv and my little commodore monitor fairly often. Too much work to swap all sorts of things around. A quick theme switch to something like this will likely take care of the biggest issue for me.

        Not asked for permission yet because I thought would make this theme just for me.

        well, if you've now given links perhaps you should take them down before you have permission?

          @dankcushions alright, I'll write the author. Shouldn't be a problem though, because it's just console logos. I guess I'll find them on Wikipedia aa well.

            @pietze it's @alphatoanant . I think these are for the most part grey scale version of carbon's logos, but yeah definitely reach out. :)

              Everyone enjoy the new downloads (in the first post)! @alphatoanant was so nice to allow the sharing of the theme.

                    I updated to version 3! Custom collections were added and two systems: Sega CD & Neo Geo.

                      I'm super into these. Any chance of getting them integrated in the setup script?

                        That would be great, but I would like to finish it first. There are still some more devices and I wanted to clean the files up a little more.

                        I uploaded everything on GitHub now:

                          Sorry to bring up an old thread... I am curious tho... Is this theme able to run on a 240p TV via composite or is it only useable with the Pi2* devices?

                          I am not quite sure if it's possible or even how to install the theme to attempt it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

                            @morpie Hi there, composite is also fine for this theme. If you want to install the theme, just copy the files into the /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes/ folder and restart Emulation Station.

                            btw you can download the theme here:

                              @Pietze Hi Pietze, your theme is wonderful and work fine with my crt at 240p. I try to set "video view" not "detailed view" and the theme don't work well. Can you support the "video view"? I would be very grateful! Sorry for my English! XD

                                @Pietze I'm not able to see the game art on the game lists (I've downloaded the NES pack and placed it on ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/nes/, is that enough?)
