      @duiz ... sorry i change all you give to me, but i have made some search and for me the console is not MSU1, It's the Super Disc System. With an MSU1 chipset to add FMV and CD-Rom audio support. And i prefer describe the system and his story, not really the emulator to use it.

      alt text

      It's why i made an SDS theme, but i also made some MSU1 logo you can found on the system directory like ever if you want to change.

      ...

      And then :

      I use Killer Instinct because i already made this graphic stuff, and a new Killer Instinct MSU1 pack was release last week and it is really fantastic !!!
      If i can found some time and stuff, i really dream to release an alternate one with Daemon Crest :p

      @UDb23 Thanks a lot.
      I have search for stuff a little, and i think i can only work on Demon Attack or maybe Radar Rat Racer ...
      It's very hard to found what i search if i don't to draw so much ... an image with a good resolution to cut the center Sprite of the theme, and a background that i can let empty of characters. I will try ;)

      It will be many work for me, but i finally found some good ideas for the 3 default game list : All Games, Favorites, Last Played ;)

      I have PUSH a BIG part of all the new stuff on GIT ;)
      Now you can try it.

      Life is game, just play it !

        @darknior Thanks for checking the images. I don't want to create additional work for you.
        As it's available on GIT, if I find time, I could try making the Vic20 background myself. If successful I'll submit it to you.

                    I don't change anything too ... really i don't know.
                    Maybe stand my future update that will fix some other bugs and maybe this one for you ?

                      On Vic 20, if I may give you a suggestion, I'd use Demon Attack, Jelly Monsters or Radar Rat Race art as background as these were the most famous (or "iconic") games on that home computer.

                      I made it for you, and i will use it too lol

                                Yes it's the problem, but i also made a lite version with only one image by system and it's same, i try to remove transition effect, reduce image size to 720p, etc ... i try many things and there is always the problem of memory and white images.
                                The problem come from ES and it's really bad, i must open an issue, some one must try to fix this problem ... we have 1Go of RAM and a Quad Core !!!

                                  yes and what I find weird is that some theme that consume very little memory with the latest MAJ consumes much more even on theme HURSTY blue style, did you notice?

                                    No i don't see it, i don't know this theme. Maybe it's because they have had the GRID support on the DEV branch ?

                                      @darknior Hey bud.

                                      I wanted to try this skin out, but I'm having a problem. I downloaded and unpacked it, but when I try to FTP it over to /etc/emulationstation/themes/, I get an "Unable to create directory [Permission Denied]" error. Seems this is one of those folders I can't actually do anything with.

                                      Any suggestions to work around this?

                                      Sorry. I'm still a Linux noob and the permissions always give me a problem.

                                        @used2berx I don't know ... how do you upload it ?
                                        It's a right problem, for my part i use SSH with root user.

                                          @used2berx Just copy it in /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes as the pi user and don't worry about root. If the themes folder doesn't exist, create it first.

                                            @darknior Now I'll finally be able to try out that Dark Steel skin that Gilles gave me about a year ago too. Did you guys abandon that one?
