        @lilbud Yeah sure, it will take a lot of time though, I had a base for the NES one... :/ I suck at pixel art, it's challenging but I will try!

            @hyruleslink Hehe what's up, well it is on my to do list I started it but it's kinda difficult to find an official artwork that can work on it without re-drawing everything :( but fear not I don't forget, I will do it some day somehow!

              @malixx Maybe try this site: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/138

              They have a lot of very high quality art for many games.

                Thank you!! I'm gonna get some of these and leave my screensaver to change every 30 seconds haha...
                P/s: my roommate said he's gonna stare at them all day long :D

                It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can do only a little. Do what you can.

                    @malixx I'm glad I could help motivate you! This looks great Malixx Man X! lol. These screensavers you've made are one of my favorite extras I've added to the 'Pie. Can't wait to see the next one! :)

                              Hey @Malixx how have you been? I had my RetroPie going last Saturday during a 16 person Smash Bros tournament and a lotta people loved your screensavers! Someone mentioned that they would like to see a Donkey Kong Country screensaver. Just wanted to pass along the complements to the chef!

                                    @Malixx Almost the same thing happened to Hyruleslink happened to me. Had a few friends here and played a bit Doom and other games. They all said the screensavers look great.

                                    Thank you for your work.

                                    PS. One said that it would be an awesome interface if all games had one screensaver displayed as an animated boxart. But sure he doesnt know how much work this would be :)

                                      @analoghero Oooh great thank you! And the animated box art is actually a good idea, well it is also a lot of work, I will think about it!

                                      If only I had the native PSD with all the backgrounds and all the characters already in PNG... :')

                                            Hey @Malixx what do you think about doing a Final Fantasy IV screensaver based off of the GBA artwork? Here is a link to a really nice piece of artwork:
