New Comic Book Theme!
-
@esmith13 Thank you and that is a really sharp launch screen! Nice work. I do plan to make launch screens for the system, for at least the most popular systems anyways, but i really like yours. I would stick with that one!
As an FYI - I have been trying to release progress updates, have 21 new systems that I will be adding to both the 16:9 and 4:3 themes. That will take me over 100 supported systems...and I am getting exhausted! I will throw up another post shortly with a list of systems I am working on.

Update: Upcoming System Releases
In addition to the items mentioned in this post above: link to post 479 I am working on creating systems for the list below. I am working on creating the logos, backgrounds, and comic rip characters for each system, and completing them for both 16:9 and 4:3 versions. I appreciate your patience as this takes a considerable amount of time. I have also been working on a method to create custom systems to play any game from any emulator. This work has been assisted by and now modified by @meleu in this post: Create a custom ES system able to launch games for many systems You can follow the links in his post to see my method as well which does not include scripts, but works just like the current arcade system does. Either way, we now have a few methods for you to make a "Mario" "Mega Man" "TMNT" or any other system you want. Because of this I have created special systems in my theme, They are noted by * in the list below. Look for some preview images hopefully this weekend.

@TMNTturtlguy the "Favorites" one should also end up being part of that special group. It doesn't mean people can't use them in the interim. :)
-
@pjft It is, i made it just for you! But seeing we now have 3 different versions of how to create favorites using scripts the like, i didn't add the note on that one. I figure users will use it prior to any ES releases that might take place.
-
@TMNTturtlguy Until anything starts happening, there's as much a chance as well that people will be using a Raspberry Pi 4 before using any of these future developments launch :)

Here are a few WIP teasers:
All Games
Beat'em Up
Mega Man

-
@meleu is excited about the Mega Man System! lol
-
@backstander hey, i made him a mega man retropie splashscreen pic. So this just completes the collection.
-
@TMNTturtlguy any of the ones like mega man and ninja turtles i will definitely use. Super mario and zelda would be cool too. Probably the 4 best series out there. Well final fantasy was cool too. It is a never ending rabbit hole....
-
@edmaul69 yeah I could do systems forever! I tried to do a few big ones that have a fair amount to games across several systems, MARIO is the only single "brand" specific theme but there are so many games he is in including Atari and arcade games. I like the Zelda idea, but not this release as I have to draw the line somewhere!
-
@TMNTturtlguy yeah mario is actually a pretty large set. Not counting donkey kongs, there is a massive collection on tons of systems. The arcades alone had 5 games.
-
I'll probably never use it, but somebody might like a Square (Squaresoft, etc) set too, for games like Final Fantasy, and the dozens of other great Square games..
You could theoretically also do one for say Capcom, that would have Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, tons of fighting games, etc.
But I agree.. draw the line somewhere. :)
Who's Scruffy Looking?
-
@hansolo77 ther are already 4 capcom systems available. Capcom as well as cps1, cps2, and cps3

@hansolo77 squaresoft is a good one. There is a wonderful huge collection of squaresoft games. I wish i still had the drive to lose myself for hours in a game like i used to. Rpg's require a great deal of devotion.
-
Wow, This theme is so awesome! Would be really cool if we could get support for "System videos". I could easily help make a few with your awesome graphics. Just to show what I mean with System Videos here is a Mega Man collection video I made for HyperPie (Attract Mode):
-
@calle81 I put that request in for the amazing crew of code guys that are working hard on ES right now. It is on their Radar so we will see if and when it might get implemented. I think it might be a pretty big task and they are working on some other really cool ideas right now. Very cool video! Nice work
-
When will the theme come out?@TMNTturtlguy
