I forgot to say that your mascot / system files must be less than 280 KB. If they are bigger than that, you will have a white screen problem. Retropie does not seem to tolerate big size image files if you manage many systems (80 systems and more).

@dteam

Ok, so the mascot of fmtmarty has to be reduced a bit.
Will do that asap.

PR is done reduced to 250kb

reworked Game Gear for use... the colors of Green and Blue were off in many of the .svg files

Also made it grey and black for light and dark without outlines.

created a "new" Defender box for AdventureVision if anyone needs it. I didn't like the one that was out there and I used the other boxes as the baseline to create an improved version. I think this was a pack-in game so it didn't have an actual box.

The scene is taken from Extex's hand-held version, as was the original. I just didn't like how many times it said Defender on it and kept it cleaner looking.

Use for whatever you need it.

A corrected TRS-80 badge for the CoCo2. Taken from other parts and reworked into this horizontal style badge. This is for US/North America market released units, so it's spelled "Color" rather than "Colour".

Same thing for Game Gear, I used your second logo for my theme. Thanks a lot!!

We should add the ti99_4a too.

I could have changed the script so ti99_4a was installing under ti99 but I think that will be somewhat confusing as ti99sim uses other rom formats.

The ti99 is already in the theme, we can use that.
Perhaps we can add a minor change so we know that ti99_4a is for mame/lr-mess.

What do you think, good idea ?

jamrom2

@folly I agree. I modified the already existing Ti99/4a logo and added in the Texas Instruments logo as well. I felt it better suited the look. So now I have a separate ti99/4a theme in my build so that it's not the same as the Ti99Sim emulator. It's white lettering on a transparent background, so it's a little hard to see here... also, same with a black background

@jamrom2

Cool !
We should use it.

I will have a look.

@folly
I'll do monday

Folly

@dteam

That's fine.

I tested both and I think the black one suits the best.

DTEAM

@folly
if you have a suggestion for the mascot, I'm interested 😄.

jamrom2

@dteam Probably Munchman. Seems to be the most recognizable.

Folly

@dteam

I liked Popeye and it's a synonym for the first powerful 16 bit CPU (TMS9900) :

Perhaps we can use that one.

Munchman

This one?

jamrom2

@dteam yes. That's it. Parsec, Munchman and Alpine were key games with some sort of main "character" as the focal point. Parsec being the ship.

Not sure Popeye would be good because it's more of a Parker Brothers or old cartoon character and not really related to specifically the TI computer line.

Folly

@jamrom2 @DTEAM

That's Ok, lets do Munchman.
