@classicgmr was there a transformers game on NES/SNES? hmmm I'll have to check!

@mattrixk I thought about it, but having a mix of colors in the poster might make the text on the game list hard to read. I'll play around with it and see how it looks. I think for Mega Drive/ Genasis I'll remove the window or make it barely there, and play around with the wall space a bit more. ES is kinda weird in which if I set it to put the games list in 1 location , it uses that same location on every system.. unless I re-wrote the master XML file and set individual parameters for each.. not even sure if that would work...hmmm

oh and here's a re-lighted NES screen, displaying an old school nintendo commercial.

@dra6n Well it's an 80's/early 90's toyline that was very popular so there's that. 😉

But yes in Japan they had a Famicom Transformers game - The Transformers: Mystery of Convoy:

The SNES / Super Famicom didn't have a Transformers release that I could find.

@classicgmr hmm fair enough :)

working on the Gameboy screens now. Decided to go with the "open on Christmas day" kinda feel.

gameboy screens done, changed the fonts around a little to make them easier to read. haven't decided on a good font just yet.

@dra6n coming along nicely 🙂

Awesome theme!

I have a question. In your gamelist, it seems to be ignoring "the" in the game title, is that something new they added or something you did on your end? I haven't turned my Pi on in a while, so I wasn't sure. Thanks.

@cylum It goes off the no-intro naming convention. Whatever the scraper picks up based on that, is how it is displayed. shrug

Added GBC!

Also, a teaser of the virtualboy screen:

Virtual Boy screens complete! Now back to standard consoles and handhelds.. this was a bit of a PITA. One "eye" has a video preview for each game, the other has a screenshot.

Been years, but I am planning to pick this back up and finish it!
