      @duiz thanks a lot for informations and english description. For manufacturer i will be more accurate, and write "Nintendo, Sony" and like for media, there are CR-Rom first.
      Yes i plan to add it later because i don't have time for the moment to work on my MSU1 set. Many many games but not all really excellent, i want to make a selection that have a real interest. If not i prefer to play on the original SNES.
      I will try to add it faster.

      For the moment i'm working on :

      • Merge the Spanish translation of @son_link and generate all the INFO files.
      • x68000
        New background and sprite
        Update the computer photo with controler.

      • Videopac G7000 new theme (better)

      0_1522421732018_screenshot-fr.jpg

      • Atari ST added

      0_1521980496879_atari-st.jpg

      • Update all XML files to remove not used controller images.
      • Add default image for all the TAGS with a language variable.
      • Update almost all description ...
      • Add 3 news systems

      Supervision not supported yet by Retropie

      Commodore Vic20
      0_1522104766686_screenshot-fr.jpg
      Commodore PET
      0_1522421579745_screenshot-fr.jpg

      • Update many image variant for Logo and Console : Snes, SG-1000, Genesis, 32x, etc ...

      For these console & computer images, these logo, i search help if you have some of them i miss.
      For exemple i have the 32x on Genesis 1 & 2, same for japanese megadrive, but i only have it on Megadrive 2 for europe.
      Thanks

      • And i began to make a LIGHT VERSION of the theme to make it lighter, using less memory and working better on PI.

      All of this at same time take me many time ... i would like to release all of this quickly.

      Life is game, just play it !

        @darknior A really great theme ! Thanks for all your hard work.

        On Vic 20, if I may give you a suggestion, I'd use Demon Attack, Jelly Monsters or Radar Rat Race art as background as these were the most famous (or "iconic") games on that home computer.
        I owned it as a kid ;-)

          @duiz ... sorry i change all you give to me, but i have made some search and for me the console is not MSU1, It's the Super Disc System. With an MSU1 chipset to add FMV and CD-Rom audio support. And i prefer describe the system and his story, not really the emulator to use it.

          alt text

          It's why i made an SDS theme, but i also made some MSU1 logo you can found on the system directory like ever if you want to change.

          0_1522457840736_system-logo-jp.png
          ...
          0_1522457853670_system-logo3.png

          And then :

          0_1522457889470_snes-msu1.jpg

          I use Killer Instinct because i already made this graphic stuff, and a new Killer Instinct MSU1 pack was release last week and it is really fantastic !!!
          If i can found some time and stuff, i really dream to release an alternate one with Daemon Crest :p

          @UDb23 Thanks a lot.
          I have search for stuff a little, and i think i can only work on Demon Attack or maybe Radar Rat Racer ...
          It's very hard to found what i search if i don't to draw so much ... an image with a good resolution to cut the center Sprite of the theme, and a background that i can let empty of characters. I will try ;)

          It will be many work for me, but i finally found some good ideas for the 3 default game list : All Games, Favorites, Last Played ;)

          I have PUSH a BIG part of all the new stuff on GIT ;)
          Now you can try it.

            @darknior Thanks for checking the images. I don't want to create additional work for you.
            As it's available on GIT, if I find time, I could try making the Vic20 background myself. If successful I'll submit it to you.

                        I don't change anything too ... really i don't know.
                        Maybe stand my future update that will fix some other bugs and maybe this one for you ?

                                    Yes it's the problem, but i also made a lite version with only one image by system and it's same, i try to remove transition effect, reduce image size to 720p, etc ... i try many things and there is always the problem of memory and white images.
                                    The problem come from ES and it's really bad, i must open an issue, some one must try to fix this problem ... we have 1Go of RAM and a Quad Core !!!

                                      yes and what I find weird is that some theme that consume very little memory with the latest MAJ consumes much more even on theme HURSTY blue style, did you notice?

                                        No i don't see it, i don't know this theme. Maybe it's because they have had the GRID support on the DEV branch ?

                                          @darknior Hey bud.

                                          I wanted to try this skin out, but I'm having a problem. I downloaded and unpacked it, but when I try to FTP it over to /etc/emulationstation/themes/, I get an "Unable to create directory [Permission Denied]" error. Seems this is one of those folders I can't actually do anything with.

                                          Any suggestions to work around this?

                                          Sorry. I'm still a Linux noob and the permissions always give me a problem.

                                            It's a right problem, for my part i use SSH with root user.
