RetroRoom Theme!

@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.

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!

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!
