What did i get my self into....

I'm working on the most masochistic theme for my arcade... The actual theme is very simple, but instead of box art or regular screenshots, i am doing half screen zoomed in pixel screenshots for every game. Because of the funny shape of this area, most images need editing (like adding more bullets or enemies or moving the main character closer to the action). It's a good thing i only plan on having abotu 50 or so games per system max. I'm keeping it limited to only games that work very well on an arcade format, so no metroid or zeldas here. Even still, this is going to be ALOT of work, haha.

Masochistic maybe, but a fantastic idea. Looks great so far.

@Capeman you should add the playchoice 10 and vs system arcade games. You can find them all in a .nes format. The vs games are more compatible with nestopia. Fceumm has controller buttons not working issues. If a vs game boots to a white or gray screen, just wait. That is how they boot. I dont like the way mame does the playchoice 10 games. I havent tested the mame vs games.

@edmaul69 I know of them, but other than a time limit per credit is there anything different about playchoice vs the regular game?

They've always run better in my experience. However, since I've started using RetroPie, I just run them all through Nestopia.

Generally not with the Playchoice titles, but the VS games tend to have several differences, depending on the game.

@Capeman the vs system games are different. Some of the playchoice 10 games are different. Before i forget, mike tysons punchout only works in nestopia. So punchout has a high score in the pc-10 version. Some games have altered title screen/ video and different cut scenes to account for the fact that it uses a timer. The nes versions of the pc-10 games dont require coins and dont have a timer. The vs system games do take coins, but have a huge difference in the games.

My favorite being that you can finally shoot that obnoxious snickering mutt in 'Duck Hunt'.

This is looking pretty cool, got TG16 done, about 30 or so games on that system:

DA..h...AAAAAAAAM!
I really want to help you with this project. -
@itsnitro I should have it done to my standards in the next couple days, I'll share my theme and all of my game images if you want to use this for yourself and have alot of the images already made. I'll also explain how to use photoshop (or any other simple image editor) to expand pixelated artwork large without losing the sharp quality.

This looks great, love the idea, and yes it may be masochistic, but it's unique!

At this point I'm done with Atari, NES, SNES and TG16.... Still have to combine Genesis, Sega CD and 32x into one system, add Master System, contemplate the idea of GBA and make art for Neo Geo, MAME and FBA... I could kick myself for starting this, but it's so much nicer than bland lists.
Here's NES:
