        His collection sounds very similar in content to my friend's. I enjoy dipping into his Famicom collection the most. We actually had a great time one night playing the word scramble game 'Cryptologic' of all things on his Odyssey². To make things even more bizarre, we were playing alongside his teenage son and several of his friends. It really amazed me how into this simple word game everyone was. Of course, the words being chosen to unscramble were a major factor too. Kids do say the darndest things.

          Thanks to changes in emulationstation i can make my theme look how i want it to. I really want it to be monochrome green. @Rookervik how would i turn grayscale images to green colors so i can make my consoles match a monochrome green theme?

                  @ExarKunIv thank you. I have many fond memories of my apple iie as a kid. I have done tons of modded consoles and arcades and always dreamed about modifying an apple iie. So when i got the chance to mod one into a modern pc for my buddy, i was inspired to finally do one for myself, but with a raspberry pi.

                        You sir, are a prince among the less princely. That artwork is amazing! I really appreciate this and I'm sending you an e-mail now with my deets. Do people still say "deets"? Surely it still has some street cred somewhere. I picture some guy named Trevor using it and it turning out all right for him.

                            something else i added today. in my gpio db19 adapter that i have my real time clock in, i added a headphone jack. since apple drives dont have an eject button and in dosbox i have to be able to eject the discs and then mount new ones, i added this 2 button contraption. one button ejects the discs and the other button mounts the discs. I have 2 disc drives so i didnt really need to add this since if i loaded 2 discs to a game i wouldnt have to ssh in to eject the disc to run the next disc, but i was bored and like, “hey, why not?” I just wish linux was smart enough to auto mount a disc drive when you put a disc in it.

                                      Have you released your awesome Apple ][ theme? I can't find it and it would go great with my project I'm working on.
