      You should do that list of consoles, what ed wrote. If someone would need some other systems, you car create a custom package for him by request, because usually it's only a couple that you have to add more.

      But about the console images, is it too much asked to have the PAL-versions of them on the images, or the ones the people have actually seen ? I noticed, that you used the US version of SNES on the picture, which I didn't have, as I live in PAL-region. Also, I didn't play with that original MegaDrive/Genesis back in the day, I remember playing with the Model 2-one.

        @dd-indeed I can make a PAL folder and call snespal or something. All you would have to do is rename the folder to snes and delete or rename the other one.

          Yea, that sounds fine for me. And basically, since you have the bottom work done, it can be altered by the user to fit his personal needs, right ?

            @dd-indeed if you can rename folders, It is not hard to make multiple versions of one system. If you want to avoid the xml that's the easiest way

              Yea so basically, all I have to do is to use PNG-pictures of the consoles in their respective folders ?

                @dd-indeed yes. And name them to what the xml calls for. In my theme the console picture is called system.png

                  Allright, sounds pretty simple. But carry on with the work.

                    @edmaul69 why do you have to be the one that has to separate out the tg16, tg16cd and supergrafx.l? Just be lazy like me and put it all under tg16. Sarcasm aside, once I get my systems done, I'll work on the ones you need next instead of randomly selecting some system.

                        I was right, the theme is a bit heavy. I today saw, that whenever you leave from those setup screen menus (aka the blue menus) and return to the main view, it has ghosts of the previous menu on the right side. And when I compared the menu fps to the regular Carbon-theme, it is lower and goes even more down, when I move it. Carbon theme is always 60 fps, but this is 46 fps when idling and drops below 30, when you move between the consoles. You could try to use different image formats and even compress them more.

                        Edit: I can confirm now, that the images indeed are heavy. When I move the view to PS1, the fps stays in the 60, but when scrolling to the others with images, it drops down. And yes, I'm using the carousel effect.

                          @dd-indeed I can try and see what it looks like with all resources down to 720P. Maybe that'll make it run better. It does heat my pi up pretty quickly. LOL.

                              @dd-indeed That did it. changed all the main graphics to 720P and now it runs 60FPS in the main menu and 35-45 in game lists

                                Okay, drop it to dropbox so I can test it out.

                                  Next test build. NOW SUPPORTS VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! resolution of main assets dropped to 720P. Seems to make it run a tad better and not over heat my Pi by just browsing. And finally added the PSP click. since the ps1 had no sounds, this sounds good enough.

                                  @DD-Indeed I will make you, and anybody else in a PAL region, a PAL snes folder. You just will need to change the folder name.

                                    This fixed it, good.

                                    Some quick feedback again: Move the PSP-image a bit more up and the logo of it a bit more down. Currently, the PSP-logo goes on top of the image, so it's not clear to see. Do it like you did with Playstation-image and logo. NES and SNES could be fixed as well.

                                      @dd-indeed the console names and images are 2 separate elements that are placed by the xmI can drop the system name logo and see if that fixes it. I can fix it by tweaking the png file of the console, but from this point forward, I won't be tweaking every system individually. The overlap I like and doesn't bother me.
                                      Maybe this is a good time to learn to theme and edit it to your liking. Heck I learned in 3 days pretty much.
                                      Look in the xml for the theme on psp. I know it looks daunting, but there's and entry called "systemlogo" . That's the text logo. Try changing origin to "0.5 1"
                                      And pos ".7 .9"
                                      All that will do is drop the logo to 90% down on the screen and the 1 on origin tells emulation station to render the graphic from the bottom (100% down from the top.
                                      If you put 0 it'll render off screen and start from the top and only show 10%. Get it?
                                      The first number is the x axis. So I'm rendering it 70% right and origin .5 so its centers from that point. 0 is render from left 1 is render from right. Have fun.

                                          @dd-indeed also you can just the psp picture by editing the "systemsnap.png" entry. Maybe try raising that or changing the "maxsize" the Max size is just the max % you want the picture to take up on screen. so the max x size and max y size. good luck man.
