                  I'm glad to see this finally hit the installer. It's hands down my favorite theme, being a PS fanboy and all.
                  I've been trying to think of something to do for the custom collection since I saw your post this morning, and I'm still at a stand still on original ideas.

                      I found this to take screenshots, it works great.

                      Basically this guide will teach you how to set up Raspi2PNG, use a single command script
                      and set up a samba link to easily access those screen shots from a designated folder.

                      Step 1
                      First you need to get the program/dependency and compile the bin

                      sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev

                      git clone https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png
                      cd raspi2png
                      make

                      Step 2
                      Now you need to move raspi2png to your local bin and create a .sh script

                      sudo mv raspi2png /usr/local/bin

                      sudo nano /usr/local/bin/screenshot.sh

                      sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/screenshot.sh

                      copy and paste this

                      #!/bin/bash
                      raspi2png -p ~/RetroPie/screenshots/$(date +%m%d%Y_%H%M%S).png

                      save by "ctrl + x" then "y"

                      Step 3
                      now to create screenshots folder and add samba link

                      mkdir ~/RetroPie/screenshots

                      sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

                      copy and paste this at the end of the file

                      [screenshots]
                      comment = screenshots
                      path = "/home/pi/RetroPie/screenshots"
                      writeable = yes
                      guest ok = yes
                      create mask = 0644
                      directory mask = 0755
                      force user = pi

                      Step 4
                      Restart Samba server and take your first screenshot

                      sudo service smbd restart

                      in terminal type

                      screenshot.sh

                      Step 5
                      Access your screenshots folder through samba

                      \retropie

                      or mac os x

                      smb://retropie

                      Step 6
                      Clean up left over folder

                      sudo rm -r ~/raspi2png

                        @lostless just stubbled on this theme when updating one my Pi's. Very nice, reminds me of 1998 all over again :D

                        My only problem is, no Amiga or ZX Spectum logos?

                          @lostless could I by chance get a psd of the background you use for each system name? Trying to make this screen with a few modifications. alt text

                            @lostless Can you please update this theme to include metadata? That would really push this theme over the top!
                            Thanks

                              I mainly made this theme for myself and my PlayStation project. I just happily shared it here for others. I don’t plan to update it. You are free to edit the theme yourself and make it your own. It’s how I got into learning making this theme was editing another theme and see how it’s all put together.

                                @lostless Ah that’s a pity, this would’ve been a great theme for all the PlayStation classic mods that are gonna be popping up. It’s a great theme as is, but a little too plain with only the cover art.

                                Thanks for your response..

                                  @dirty_horror I may one day work on it again, if I can remember how to code a theme. Lol. It’s been a while. but I’ve never really been a fan of metadata. Artwork is all I’ve ever used. Now’s the time for you to learn like I did. It was actually quite fun to learn myself and see come into a full fledged theme. It wasn’t that hard to learn. Good luck

                                      @soulgriever here's the raw data and psd files. Have fun looking at them and making this theme your own.

                                        To the author: are you aware Sony could be very inspired from your theme for PlayStation Classic? Gui resemblance is more than suspicious.

                                          @DarishZone I doubt it. Nothing looks like any of my artwork. And I was inspired by sonys ps1 menu. they are using the original font, where on mine I got a close enough one. Also It’s not that hard to make a gradient background. I stole the colors from the official background of the original to make mine.

                                            Uhm, that's my fault, i was not aware of original purple bubbles gui, i remember my old PSX feature the grid (horrible) menu system, not sure if that was for pal territory, or they just simply redesign it later.
