Request for artists working on themes - needs for (lr-mess/MAME) additions

I have done a PR for 2 systems for the Cygnus- blue flames.

Philips P2000T
Tandy Radio Shack MC-10 micro color computer

@mrseven Thank you for updating the link I got the images, appreciate it. Going to start with making some more logos this style as I fill in the blanks I have going then contribute back at least some other additional graphics for your theme to match.

@folly
Done
Nice RadioShack mascot 😂

@dteam

Thanks.

I added the "Tandy Radio Shack MC-10 micro color computer" in the front-end part with the special systems with slotdevices.

I tried this system the normal way but could not load the ML(Machine Language)cas files.
I discovered that you need a ram extension to load those files.
For this system you can find nice archives with software.

My experience with the cygnus-blue-flames theme is quite good now.
There is one thing that is bothering me though.

When I use a system that is not added in the theme, you don't know which system you are using.
Also, you cannot see which game you are selecting.

Perhaps we can find a simple solution to this problem.
Can you have a look at it ?

DTEAM

@folly

I'll take a look on that. Thanks. I also had this issue, but my solution was to create a new system (not a good solution). Is It the same problem with other themes?

However, if you need more systems, I can create them. I will not create custom systems like Zelda, Castlevania, etc.

@dteam

For example with carbon you will always see the system name and also you will be able to see what game is selected.

So the carbon theme will produce a normal system text if there isn't a picture.
For the game selection :
Perhaps they use different colours for the selection part.

If I have some time I will also have a look.

Indeed adding a system is a solution but this always comes after you experience it, so it would be nice if we came up with a better solution, don't you agree ?

@folly
Part of the answer is here

Done!
Add my theme.xml in your main folder

Folly

@dteam

Good work !
I will try to add the theme.xml file asap. ;-)

@folly

New system : cygnus blue flames Thomson MO/TO
(I forgot to add it)

New edit: the Mascot is Bob Morane for people who don't know (two Tomson MO/TO title).

Folly

@dteam

It's working perfect.
Nice solution !!!!

Will have a look at that Thomson.

Edit:
I had quick peek, looking nice.
I try to add it to the animation once I can.

@folly

I updated the Pc Engine, Mega Drive and Genesis hack "system" images for images with gamepads.

I just updated my cygnus fork with "fetch-upstream".
I will have a look at what you added.

You should do the same with your fork of the Retropie-Share.
I just added some updates.

Could you add a theme for "Acorn Archimedes" ?
We have this working now :

Thanks for the visual rendering. Maybe I'll put the mascot above the logo ... I don't know

@dteam how about this using colors from the INTV palette

If you update your theme in Retropie Theme menu, you will get your Intellivision logo. Thanks , Nice logo!!

For your Coleco logo, I would like to use it to replace the one for Super Game Module. Do you have time to add Super Game Module to your logo to replace the one below?

jamrom2

@dteam sure thing.. as posted in other thread... I'll post all future requests here..

Just took some time to find the correct font (Optima) for the "Game Module" lettering.

Use this one.. it's slightly larger than the other one I posted.
