          @brigada thanks, the original ones looks too much "hi definition" for retro themes, lol

            THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
            I can see the love and fun that was put into that project and this makes it so outstanding. The Retrorama icons make the theme complete with the overlays, splashscreen/video and launching images and looks really polished. There is just a Retrorama music theme left to do HAHAHA!
            Could you put a KODI icon into the master as well? Some guys want a 'clear' systemlist with their collections, so no 'ports' or 'kodi' as systems (and some guys even uninstall the retropiemenu). I like it too, so I decided to move the 'kodi.sh' to the retropiemenu and have just Nintendo systems and the retropiemenu. But now I am missing a Kodi icon...
            Oh btw... I like your older overlays a bit more. Yes the new overlays have a thinner TV frame and your artworks have more space but why the different style of the handheld systems? DAMN!!! It fit better in the old version with a consistent style through all systems. It is hard to decide for me wich version I use...
            Cheers!

              @SuperPitendo Thank you for the kind words! i think the old overlays are more artificial than the new ones because i'm using another render engine, better materials and lights. But i do have them on my backup drive. You can download them here:

              https://github.com/lipebello/Retrorama_Old_Overlays

              What icons need to be done? i already have the Kodi drawing that i can use as icon and others (like the IBM computer too). Make a list of what is missing and i upload them on the github project.

              I can't make songs, lol. I even added an annoying sound as a selector. I'm sure someone out there could make a nice retro song for it. :)

                @lipebello Thank you for re-uploading it!
                I already have the overlays from the past, but now the whole community is forced again to make this hard decision between the old and new version :D

                Well, I think it is very individual wich icons are kind of "necessary" for anybody. Nonetheless, I would suggest:

                Kodi
                Like you said "i already have the Kodi drawing that i can use as icon", that was my intension ;)

                rclone_script and savestate_selector
                These are 2 very useful scripts from @jandalf81 and I highly recommend to anybody to use them.
                The savestate_selector is for organizing your savefiles and having a screenshot preview before you load the savefile, like the SNES Classic.
                The rclone_script syncs the savefiles of your gaming device(s) with a cloud service. Pretty good if you use more pi´s like I do but dont wanna have different savestatesets. I have a pi in an original SNES shell (stationary) and an original DMG shell (mobile), so now they share the same savestates :)
                the savestate_selector needs one icon, but I have no clue how it should look :D
                the rclone_script needs two icons, the rclone_script and a 'sync all'-script . I would just take your 'filemanager' icon and paste on the folder the 3 blue WiFi waves from the 'retroarchnetplay' icon. Due to how the rclone works this fits good I think. And for the the 'sync all' icon I suggest just a color variation like red or purple WiFi waves.

                There are some more like the RetroPie-Manager, the bezel project and so on.

                Hey the IBM computer is a good icon idea! Just to add it to the collection as an generic icon. So anybody could use it as an Icon for there own scripts. like a 'default icon'.

                Due to BGM
                I use the NES Classic jingle for my Setup. But I have a friend, he is a musician and is making music with original Gameboys. I would describe his style as 8-Bit Synthpunk. I will ask him to make a jingle that could fit :D

                BTW, as a communist child I am totally curious like your new theme will look at the end (including new overlays, launching images and icons :D )

                  Hey there,

                  These icons and overlays look fantastic, just checking the old and new overlays out on GitHub. Both are great, but I see the new ones are missing some systems which I use (Amiga, GameCube, etc), but the old ones appear to be complete and more comprehensive.

                  Will you be porting the rest of the old overlays to the new type? If not, no worries. I've not used overlays before but keen to give these a shot.

                  Cheers and great work on these.

                    Oh man, a few days later I realized how personal my suggestions are...
                    The icons for Kodi and IBM are are good choice and enough for the most users I guess.

                    Due to the BGM:
                    I asked him a few days ago and he accepted the challenge ;) He will make a background jingle :D
