New Comic Book Theme!
-
@ruckage @meleu and all other Neo Geo fans - I am thinking about switching out the comic rip image for the Neo Geo system. Currently I have G. Mantle or Mr. Neo or Mr. G - lots of names for him.....he was the very first/original mascot for the system, he was later replaced as you all know by Terry Bogard. I am thinking of switching to Terry because he just is more recognizable. I was going for nostalgia at first, but i am not sure what the correct answer is? Thoughts?
-
@tmntturtlguy Yeah I call myself a NeoGeo fan but had no idea who that was until you just explained it. I think Terry should be the default, as you say he is way more well know and the calling card for the system (as is Metal Slug I'd say). Thanks!

That's tricky. I love that G. Mantle image you're using but I will always think of Terry as the Neo Geo mascot (mainly because Fatal Fury was the first Neo Geo game I saw and he features in so many Neo Geo Games).
This isn't much help but I think either is perfectly acceptable.
One cool thing about G.mantle is that his face/mask is kind of represented in the Neo Geo Logo:
-
@tmntturtlguy Love that you're developing run command screens; they look great!
-
@tmntturtlguy I vote for Terry Bogard :-)

Go for Terry and have G. mantle as the alternate. I like the G.mantle image but Terry will always be who I think of first with Neo Geo (notice my Neo Geo theme features Terry prominently).

@ruckage thanks! All the comic rip images are in the art folder and available for alternates, it is really easy for users who's know there way around notepad ++ to just change the file name for any system to modify the images they like!
-
I can't wait for the loading screens they look so awesome. It will really finish off the look and feel to the theme. A great addition. Thanks for all the hard work you share with us!

@serotonin I tried posting an update last night, but where I am currently traveling I am having issues with slow internet. I am just over halfway complete with the 16:9 screens.....only 52 systems left!
-
This launching screen makes me want to set up a light gun build! Almost done - only 26 more systems left for the 16:9 versions.

@hoodle ...what if it's a girl?
-
@pjft I've committed, the name still stands.

@hoodle maybe April for a girl? :-)
Don't forget to teach him/her that the best Battletoads game is the NES version. -
@meleu It's fine, I'll just make this forum his/her collective godparents. I look forward to them knowing much more about games than me, and the monumental impact they'll have on Retropie 16.0.

Trying to start a fight with @TMNTturtlguy on his own thread - that's brave ;)

All versions of ComicBook theme have been updated with modifications to the "ComicRip" logos for Neo Geo and Fighting systems. Per forum discussions, Neo Geo has been updated to Terry and fighting has been updated to a new Ryu. Please note that all comic rip logos are located in the art folder:
./art/rip/and you can modify the rip logo for each system by going to the system folder within the theme and modifying the "comic_rip" path to the name of the file you wish to change it too.New Neo Geo Rip:
New Fighting Rip:
