@Fred_PJ Can you put the Brazilian logo of Mega Drive TecToy together? The Blast 16 already have it.

No, sorry. I'm using high resolution logos and couldn't find a proper TecToy Mega Drive high resolution logo, just really bad scans or inaccurate reproductions (like completely black letters without borders). So unless you are able to find a proper high resolution logo, no.

Here's an updated mock-up:

I've tried to replicate the official Sega Genesis Mini menu background from scratch. And yes, I'm aware that the official Sega Mega Drive Mini has a different background.
I plan to start work on the skin sometime next month. Since it's meant to be a Sega based theme it will only support the following Sega systems: Genesis, Mega Drive, Sega CD, Mega CD, 32X, Master System, Game Gear, Arcade.
The Arcade logo is partially inspired by the Sega Mega Tech logo:

Stay tuned.

Although you guys have done some really great work, I'm not a fan of the available themes, I prefer simple designs. So instead of complaining and yelling at clouds I did a mod of ruckage's SNES mini theme for personal use only. Also, I've borrowed frgn's nice looking help images. I just wanted to share with you guys a couple of screenshots, in case someone likes this style of layout/design feel free to copy it entirely.

System screen:

Gamelist screen with large boxart and simultaneous video preview:

Hi!

I like this classic theme with video!

Are you still working on it, or is it canceled?

I hope it is not canceled ;-)

Best regards!

@legendos That SNES Mini mod is currently outdated and slightly broken. I may fix it one of these days and release it as a patch (with different made from scratch help visuals), but it's not on my plans for now, sorry.

@Fred_PJ I’ve got a few of questions.

Are you still working on this? If so, do you have an estimated release date? It looks great.
You say this is Sega only. Does that mean it simply won’t display ROMs from other systems that I may have on my system, such as SNES?
Will this be installable on an existing setup or would you need to start from scratch?

Thanks!
