      I've decided to attempt to make my first theme. Never done this before and have no experience, and this is a work in progress, so be gentle. But I figured I would upload a couple of images to show progress.

        Decided to go a new direction with the system view to make it feel a little more like Metal Gear Solid.

          Ooh! that's a pretty solid improvement on the system view.

            @simpleethat Thanks, I've been playing around with a few ideas, trying to make the theme feel like the actual game series. My limited experience is holding me back more than anything right now, so I keep tinkering. lol

              Maybe horizontally center the vertical wheel so that you can see both people? Would that look weird? Is that possible?

                @IanDaemon It wouldn't look weird if you've never played MGS, but just for reference, this is a screenshot of the weapons/items system from the original Metal Gear Solid (and almost every metal gear solid after)

                I wish I could make the L shaped scroll system they have, but I don't think that's possible within Emulationstation, So I kind of just have to work with what I got.

                  This is what it would look like with the systems the other way (while still sticking mostly to the MGS game)
                  If everyone would like it better this way, I could leave it like this. (ignore the games available location, that may or may not change in the future)
