      Hello Zenjiro. Would you happen to have a theme set for the Sega Model 2? I see that Model 3 has already been added. Great work and thank you for the effort :-)!

        @striderx99 Sure. I'll create it when I can. Currently pre-occupid with real life stuff, but I hope to get it done in the next few weeks.

            @pittstone I'm the same as you, I only use Emulationstation on Windows. Easiest way to get everything is to just go to the repo and click the green "code" drop-down then select "download zip"

            Then just extract the folder to your themes location. Nice thing about EmulationStation being open source is that this method will/should work across all platforms.

                Hi @zenjiro! I love what you're doing with the Comic Book theme... Have you done "VIC-20" system graphics? If not, could I please request that?
                Thanks - and keep up the awesome work! :-)

                    @grfc Here is what I was able to make. Hard to do the comic portion since most of the games I found are all black backgrounds. I just reused an old comic_rip of Qbert. I did add the proper bannerlogo.

                      @zenjiro That's fantastic! I love how you put JetPac on the page - one of my favourite games on the VIC! Thank you very much...

                        It's late but I should have created this one a week or two ago.

                          Hey. I'm just finishing up my systems and I'm missing MSU-1 SNES on my main carousel. If you have some spare time, would you be able to create text with "MSU-1" with those nice letters?

                          Thanks.

                            @wholee I created this one. Color scheme wise I just inverted the main colors from the SNES one. If you have an idea for a better color scheme I'd be more than happy to apply it. Also I omitted the '-' between the U and 1 as from my quick search online most show it as MSU1 instead of MSU-1. Again I can added it. I also would like to do a comic backdrop with most of the games that support the enhancement. Not sure when I will get around to it. But I do want to give this theme more love. I'm open to ideas.

                            Here is what I have so for the system image:

                                Hello all. I love this theme and is the the one I use all the time. As I don't have the tools or the talent to create my own, I was wondering if someone could be kind enough to make a logo and system image for the Atari XEGS. Thanks in advance!

                                  If anyone is interested, all the images of the Amiga CD32 that I have come across has a picture of an Amiga computer instead of the CD32 controller. I hope this can help someone.

                                    And here is the comic for the Atari XEGS with the correct controller. The system logos are just beyond me. I hope it's useful.
