            @TMNTturtlguy nice. I'll have a few more this evening. Did you see the txt file in my drop box? might be easier to email the files if you want. I plan on one background for all MAME and FBA are you good with that?

              @modmaster I saw it, will shoot you an e-mail. Are you ok with just using the arcade background i already have done for all of the FBA and Mame backgrounds? I don't see a need to redo them at all.

                  @modmaster could master system and mega drive just reuse the sega genesis? I suppose the controllers need to change?

                      When will this theme be available and does it support Daphne? as that is one of my favorite systems!

                        @dizmodawg the theme is already available, scroll way up on the thread and you will find the links. All systems are currently supported however daphne uses standard logos and a generic background for the time being. @modmaster and I are working on completing logos and backgrounds specific to each system now. The daphne logo will be included in the next update for sure. Look for the update sometime in the next 2-3 days. Keep checking this thread. Thanks

                          Also could you please do a tg16, segacd, mastersystem, 3do? And eventually i hope you do every retropie supported system like coleco and scum!

                            @dizmodawg Definitely! I am hoping the next release will have everything in the current build and all of your requests eventually every system will have its own background!

                              @modmaster @dizmodawg We are trying to get as many systems into the next release as possible. It takes a lot of time to update everything on github, and I don't want to keep having to make everyone download and install the system over and over again to get a few updates. My hope is for a big release for the 16:9 V2 possibly tonight, but for sure before the end of the weekend. We will then follow up with a few smaller updates to complete more of the backgrounds.

                                This may be a stupid question but where do you have to put the video files to get them to load in the theme?

                                  @fatelvis1 did you scrape for video? you need to have the video files in your gamelist.xml for each system. The gamelist tells the theme where to pull the video from. There are a few placed you can put these files including in a "downloads" folder within the roms folder, or in a "downloads" folder within the .emulationstiation folder. I don't have access to send a link right now, but i would search the forum or the documents, otherwise youtube also will show you how to accomplish this.

                                      @TMNTturtlguy We can scrape for video? I didn't know about that either. I did a quick google search: does this require the Universal XML Scraper? Does it work on the Pi or Windows only? If that's not the proper tool, what must we use, sselph's?

                                      I don't mean to derail the thread, sorry in advance!

                                        Easy way to add video and marquees tags in your gamelist for video support (in Windows 7/10)
                                        A lot of users will put the videos in a "videos" subfolder in the rom system's folder.
                                        Example: ~/RetroPie/roms/nes/videos/

                                          Wow. So much progress these last few days!

                                          Would it help if tomorrow I still at least get you raw/clean images and controllers for the ZX Spectrum, as it seems it's not been mentioned recently?
