Do you mean the design of the first model megadrive?
I think I'll draw a theme from two layouts. megadrive first and second version.yes, i mean the first (bigger one) mega drive version, like the retroflag megapi.
amazing to hear, that you will draw a theme for the first version.
can´t wait for that!

I miss the game description like the one from the snes mini classic theme.
Is there a possibility that you will add this in your theme too?
Best regards!

I hardly have time this year, as I have a lot of work before the holidays. In January of next year I will have a short vacation, during which I will most likely draw an additional layer in the style of the first version of megadrive. I also do not promise to add metadata. The theme will have the same look - list and cover (nothing superfluous). but I do not rule out that metadata will appear later. it depends on demand and free time. be patient. :) -

Ok, if we do not hear until next year, merry christmas and a good start to the new year! :) -
I do not want to do you more work than you already have.
Please do not get this wrong.
I just want to suggest what could be improved.In one picture we can see the six button controller, wich is lettering 16 Bit.
I have seen this clone controller many times in the wild, could you maybe insert the original six button controller from sega?Actually you just only have to replace the 16 Bit lettering with the sega logo, and make the start button red.
I have attached a picture of the most common six button controller of the mega drive.
Happy new year to russia!

@frgn is this theme available to download anywhere? Looks great.

Did nothing ever come of the Genesis theme? The one picture I saw looked amazing.

I think he is very busy. Longer than he thought.
But... in late September, the official mega drive mini will be launched.
This will definitely have a very good theme i think.As similar as the snes mini theme i hope.
At least that's what I think.
That will definitely serve as a template, so anyone will release a clone of that for us! :)
Best regards!

With all the latest screenshots of the megadrive mini, do we think this could be the game select screen on the retail version?
Can anybody on here translate the text in the red and green top blocks?
-
Not sure, because my Kanji is 20 years rusty. But I can say that the first two characters in the Green mean '50'. I have no idea how it applies in the context. (They advertise 40 games, not 50, but every other release of this type from them had many hidden games added.)

Thanks @Thorr69 very interesting, I'm only assuming that this is the game select screen as it has a picker background on the sonic 2 boxart.

My google translate see's the word 'SORT' in the green box.
-
It means 50-Order, which is Alphabetical Order. (The 50 portion relates to the 50 syllables in Japanese.)
The red is the Config menu. -

The red is the Config menu.Thats super thank you @Thorr69

I would not have thought that, but the menu looks really ugly to me.
I hope that this picture is not taken from the real theme.
I like the theme from frgn much more.
I hope that frgn will soon be back here, with good news about his theme.
Best regards!

@legendos Yeh I thought the same at first but the more you look at it and think about it, it makes kinda sense not to go down the route of Nintendo with their classics (pixel approach). I've recreated it as my personal megapi build and it looks great imo.

Hi guys. I apologize for missing. I was really a lot of work. And even now I have very little free time. In addition, it was quite difficult for me to draw a layout - I am far from being an painter, and I not a UI / UX designer. :(
I have now come to something like this:
- The fields were completely redrawn (in the style of the first revision of the Sega Megadrive) and various backgrounds were added (in accordance with the regions).
- Logos and icons will remain in their place. I still do not promise anything about metadata.
Is it worth moving in this direction, or does anyone have any comments?
-
I think it looks great, definitely move forward with this version @frgn :)
