      hello again :)
      today I played some MSX, and I really loved icon :D
      so, when I'm was playing my brother said "so, we can add some old DOS game too :)" but, as the same the MSX, I didn't have found a DOS, DOSBox or anything like that icon too :(

      like the MSX, I used some reference from my old computer, for the monitor I used the Samsung Syncmaster 3 as reference, this guy was my very first color monitor for my PC too ^^

      I had some questions about the logo, but I chose to use the IBM as it is the IBM PC platform, not DOSBox, MS DOS or PC DOS. Even RetroPie wiki uses the IBM logo xD

      so, made it too ^^ hope you guys likes :)
      IBM PC

      you guys can get all the stuff at https://imgur.com/a/nFS7z

      thanks ^^

              Wow, this would be perfect with my new "ZNES" mini!

              Very impressed with what you did with the cardboard, I used a NES mini clone for my Pi, and made a series of videos of how to add the pie, make buttons work, and usb connectors... also might post one what to do with the leftovers!

                    @eisnerguy1 hey, I saw your pic, and I'm was thinking to follow the same step, but, as I said, I don't know if it's right to call it DOS or MS DOS, PC DOS, DOSBOX or any other variation, so, I chose the IBM Platform :)

                    and it's so cool to see people who liked this pics :D as I said, today I work only codding, and I had so much fun drawing these guys, not just for drawing, but it brings back some of memories of when I was a child, when I played with my dad some videogames, the MSX computer, lots of mario kart in my cousin house :)

                    thats why I chose stuff from my child, the hotbit msx, and today I discovered this one was just released here in brazil, the yellow plastic monitor from sun burn :p

                    I'll draw more, just need some ideas xD and @ruckage, if you like some, feel free to use them, loving your template, loving your art style, your work... I'll send a donation when I get a new card xD keep the work \o

                      Hi, glad you like the theme. You did a good job on those icons, they match my style well.

                      I really want to complete the theme on my own though as I've done so much of it already and want it to be all my own work, I hope you understand. I think your icons look really good but as @lilbud says I'm just stubborn :).

                      You can of course keep making more icons if you like, people may like alternatives to use. You should also have a go at making a theme yourself though, you obviously have a talent for drawing and more themes are always welcome here.

                      For those interested, my current list of systems that I'm working on is in the first post of this threrad but I'll paste it below as well. Sorry for the lack of new systems lately, I've been busy with other things but they will be added soon, along with collections/favourites and a default system. Once all that is done I think I would consider the theme more or less complete as it would cover most systems people would want.

                      I'll make an effort to get at least a few new systems added this week (probably 32x, Amiga, Dosbox, and Dreamacast as they are most often requested), along with the default theme so then at least there won't be any blank spaces for missing systems.

                      Current todo list:

                      Amiga
                      Amstrad CPC
                      Atari ST
                      DosBox
                      Dreamcast
                      Game & watch
                      Kodi
                      Love
                      MSX
                      MSX2
                      pc-engine cd
                      ScummVM
                      Sega 32x
                      Steam
                      Supergrafx
                      TG16 cd

                          You can find them here: https://github.com/ruckage/nes-mini-theme-launch-images-for-retropie, I also have a separate thread for them.

                          To make things easier still @meleu has added them to rpie-art so you can install them via the raspberry pi.

                                  As I said I've got a list of systems I'm working on which I posted, Dreamcast is one of them and will probably be released this week (I even mentioned it in my post).

                                    If you really want to draw some icons then at least pick systems that aren't on my list or that had various designs as I will be drawing all the items on my todo list. As I've said to several people I really want to complete this myself.

                                    e.g, for alternatives some console had various later designs megadrives 2, snes mini, etc. at least then you won't be doing the same as I am.
