      @lostless so i had made the carasoul logo bigger to be readable on a crt, but it didnt make the other 2 logos bigger at all. Not sure why. I will try shrinking. I already fixed the logos on top for games and configuration so all i need to do is mess with the carousel.

        @edmaul69 Have fun. we can make this a joint venture. Cause those little icons are each unique (color design wise) out of only 6 basic shapes i made (so I'm a tad lazy). Too bad i will probably never see over half of them again as I don't use half the systems I made.

              Anyone have an idea of when this theme will be officially released via the installer?

                @aengeon i'm trying to figure out how to do a pull request. I'm new to git hub and lost. HELP!!??? Also I need to do an update. I've been fiddling with the theme after helping @edmaul69 with that Version that looks closer to an original ps1 menu. So I will probably release an update in the next 24 hours.

                  @lostless once you figure it out let me know so we can upload the crt version as well. The latest version i uploaded fixed the gamelist alignment to line up centered to the balls for the dithered backgrounds.

                    Hey all, I'm making the custom collection theme folder. What should the image be? Maybe a rack of game, pile of folders, I don't know? Taking advice or make your own and share.

                      Now released on the Es themes menu. Added the custom collection folder for when it is officially added.
                      @edmaul69 to add (I give you permission) 😄, you need to fork retropie-setup on github and edit the file. So go to retropies github and browse retropie-setup to scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh
                      There you see a list of users and theme names.
                      Hit the edit button, which will automatically fork a version for you, and add your user name and theme name. Save and it'll ask if you want to do a pull request with the original.
                      Thing is that the name of the theme must be
                      es-theme-themename. No -master. So reupload or see if you can rename the theme. I'll get you a low res of custom collections soon.

                                  @sergioad feel free to let me know if you're interested in any systems that may be missing. I'm doing them on kinda some person needs them basis.

                                    I'm glad to see this finally hit the installer. It's hands down my favorite theme, being a PS fanboy and all.
                                    I've been trying to think of something to do for the custom collection since I saw your post this morning, and I'm still at a stand still on original ideas.

                                        I found this to take screenshots, it works great.

                                        Basically this guide will teach you how to set up Raspi2PNG, use a single command script
                                        and set up a samba link to easily access those screen shots from a designated folder.

                                        Step 1
                                        First you need to get the program/dependency and compile the bin

                                        sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev

                                        git clone https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png
                                        cd raspi2png
                                        make

                                        Step 2
                                        Now you need to move raspi2png to your local bin and create a .sh script

                                        sudo mv raspi2png /usr/local/bin

                                        sudo nano /usr/local/bin/screenshot.sh

                                        sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/screenshot.sh

                                        copy and paste this

                                        #!/bin/bash
                                        raspi2png -p ~/RetroPie/screenshots/$(date +%m%d%Y_%H%M%S).png

                                        save by "ctrl + x" then "y"

                                        Step 3
                                        now to create screenshots folder and add samba link

                                        mkdir ~/RetroPie/screenshots

                                        sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

                                        copy and paste this at the end of the file

                                        [screenshots]
                                        comment = screenshots
                                        path = "/home/pi/RetroPie/screenshots"
                                        writeable = yes
                                        guest ok = yes
                                        create mask = 0644
                                        directory mask = 0755
                                        force user = pi

                                        Step 4
                                        Restart Samba server and take your first screenshot

                                        sudo service smbd restart

                                        in terminal type

                                        screenshot.sh

                                        Step 5
                                        Access your screenshots folder through samba

                                        \retropie

                                        or mac os x

                                        smb://retropie

                                        Step 6
                                        Clean up left over folder

                                        sudo rm -r ~/raspi2png

                                          @lostless just stubbled on this theme when updating one my Pi's. Very nice, reminds me of 1998 all over again :D

                                          My only problem is, no Amiga or ZX Spectum logos?

                                            @lostless could I by chance get a psd of the background you use for each system name? Trying to make this screen with a few modifications. alt text
