            @3Draco I think a complete set. There is a fairly limited game set for each.

              @3Draco I can supply a list of the games for each system for screenshots. I might even be able to get some screenshots. I'll have to check on that.

                Getting some screenshots from you would be great and makes it easier.

                      @3Draco Are all/any of your additions in an updated version of the Comic Book Theme downloadable for the ES Emulationstation in Retropie?

                          Not downloadable from within retropie, but i have been trying to keep this fork up to date with changes in this thread:

                          https://github.com/dale-personal/es-theme-ComicBook

                          Also, I just added support for marquees. If your game lists have the marquee tag, you should see the image in place of the system banner logo.

                            Are you willing to make a PR so the theme is included in the es-themes ?

                              If i get some time its something i can look into it. I'm not sure how it would be received to include a derivative work when the original comic book theme is out there as well.

                                @koda9901 Have you tried submitting your changes to the original theme ?

                                  @3Draco I like your stuff you have been making.
                                  Have you tried to give the letters sharp edges as opposed to the round edges like how TMNTurtleguy's images?

                                    I have not. I'm actually working on a fork of https://github.com/Zenjir0/es-theme-ComicBook by @Zenjiro in this forum, which is described as a hard fork of https://github.com/TMNTturtleguy/es-theme-ComicBook by @TMNTturtlguy

                                      @koda9901 Right it is a hard fork. The reason I did it was because the images were a low resolution and did not look good on modern systems. Really I would like for it to be more of a "Community Edition" where everyone can contribute to it. So calling it Comicbook-CE or something like that.

                                        @Zenjiro Yes, i know how he made the sharp edges but i dont have AI, on the other hand im also not good using Illustrator.

                                          @3Draco Feel free to message me on Discord if you want to collaborate. And I do have a tutorial on how to do it without Illustrator. Silent Tutorial Step by step is above here.
