Here is a nice animation on how the cygnus theme looks like :
I added it in my readme file on Github. thanks again
That's a really nice touch to the readme.
I have to that too with my mamedev-cabon ;-)I have made a script for it.
I just collect the manual made png "print screens" and then I run the script which makes the animated gif.
I push that gif to github and then the link can be used in forum or a readme.
Still it shows only the pictures of the ones where I have put games in.
I want to be able to fool emulationstation so I can make screenshots of all systems that are in a specific theme.Btw.
This is a new logo for coleco :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31007/reworked-coleco-vision-logo-for-theme-use
Perhaps it's usable somehow. -
I fooled emulationstation by generating a dummy es_systems.cfg with inside the extensions .png and .svg.
So it wil find the .png and .svg an think that they are games.I renamed my roms directory and placed all theme directories in a new roms directory and removed only the xml files as they conflict.
The animated gif should now contain all systems.
If you don't see it directly then you have to wipe the cache in the browser,
then you will be able see the updated gif. -
@folly
I saw this on GitHub. I used your file extension to automatically change the gif on my readme file. Thank you so much. Really good work. I never tire of watching the animation.Finally, I think my theme is not that bad. I'm not sure if it's good enough for the official Retropie, but in the end I think it's one of the most complete themes available (by the number of systems).
-
Perhaps we are able to commit this into the original esthemes.sh.
Or you could just ask mitu if he is willing to add our themes. -
@mitu
Hi mitu, are you willing to add my theme to the official Retropie themes list? It contains 168 systems for Retropie. It's a branch of the original cygnus.
Here's the link on GitHub.

You'll need to submit a pull request to the RetroPie-Setup repository and add your theme - see for instance this one. If it's too complicated, I can submit it for you.
-
@mitu
Thanks!! -
@mitu
As I understand it, I write a request in "issues" like lipebello did and you will close it whether you agree or not. Is it correct? -
@dteam No, an issue is not a 'pull request'.
You need to fork the RetroPie-Setup repository to your account, create a branch in your fork, modify theesthemes.shfile (see the example I gave you earlier) and save the modification, then Github will ask you if you want to create a PR (pull request) for the original repository (retropie/RetroPie-Setup). -
@mitu
I think I have done it now. See # 3378. Is it good ?
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pulls -
@dteam Looks fine.

Now, Cygnus- blue flames is an official theme!!!
Thanks
Back from vacation ?
Very cool,
I have made 2 systems for the Cygnus- blue flames.
If you like it, then we should add them too.
Here you can see the pictures :

Yes, sure. I’m open to add more systems and get suggestions -
I made a fork of the repository.
In time I will do a pull request.
This is also good exercise for us. -
@folly
Done, now merged -
@mrseven Would you mind sending another link to the 2000p images if you have them? Link goes 404 for me. These logos are very great, I like how you most often incorporate a small subtle part of the official logo. Hope to contribute some to forum when I can. I made a list of some other consoles without a comic style logo if you would like it. Cheers! Keep up the good work

Thanks. Let me know which systems you need. I have a ton that I have to finish and or plan to make plus add a bunch of missing comic screens. I got sidetracked a bit, well a lot, on some other projects and hope to get back to making these soon.
Forgive me for being brain dead, which 2000p images are you referring to?
-
@mrseven My apoligies that is probably my fault, new to these forums should have tried to use a quote. The ones I was referring to was these I noticed from an older comment. I downloaded the zip a week or 2 ago but it did not seem to be updated fully to the date. The ones from in the zip I believe were all 2000 pixel width, most the ones from newer batches I have only been able to save by right click saving them and get a 1200pw which Im assuming isn't the full res. Trying to upscale to match the majority in size results in me goofing up the shadow opacity is why I ask(prolly need to switch back to photoshop).
Managed to do some copy and paste renditions for jaguarcd, msx+, fmtowncd, cplus4, pcfx, and naomi2, will try to post them in other thread. Please forgive me for the block text and folowing list, but will post for the general cause. I don't expect you to do them all, but maybe communally we can tackle some over time.The next most benificial logos at least personally would be any of these:
zx81, easyrpg, tic80, lutro, msxturbor, amigacdtv, mugen, pico8, sc3000, vc4000, apfm1000, uzebox chailove, cgenius, acornatom, colecoadam, thomsonmo5series, segasystem32, tgexpress, thomsonto7series, amiga500, amiga1200, amiga4000, jaleco, atariportfolio, segastv, pcenginegt, beebem, dragon64, android, pygame, pinball, zeebo, squirreljme, adobeflash, apple2eOthers that are generally less needed but likely deserving:
segamodel1, segamegatech, acclaim, apple2+, mattelaquarius, segasystem1, segasystem2, segasystem16, segasysteme, segavicdual, pioneerlaseractice/megald, chihiro, chip8, cinematronics, comad, dos386, dos486, dataeast, eighting/raizing, exidy, gaelco, incredibletech, irem, kaneko, mitchell, nichibutsu, nmk, pgm, psikyo, semicom, seta, taito, technos, tecmo, tectoy, toaplan, touhou, universal, visco, videosystem, williams, palmos, nokiangage, gamewave leapfrog, segapico, segabeena, psvita, mameadvmame, mame2003, mame2003plus, mamelibretro, mame4all, mame2010, mame2015, mame2016, mess2015, mess2016,
Only other significant games collection could think of:
007, Tony Hawk, Looney Tunes, Contra, Marvel, DCI didn't go down mess systems lists as many there are clones so I'm sure there is more but mainly compared with my set of classic original style logos.
