      @tronkyfran sure, You also don't necessarily have to zip them if you don't want to, you can just put them in their own folders. Either way . Just depends on your personal preference. I'm sure this will be a great resource for others to have the 3d model files. I need to update the theme with your latest images. I've been slacking.

      If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

        Ok, almost all the systems are uploaded to the github repository, in .max format. Take in account that its practically a dump of my work, so dont except it to be ordered and tidy.
        Obj will take more time, I have to do it manually, but it will come.

        If anyone is interested, they are in .max format(3dsmax 2016) and renderer in Corona Render. If you need to extract a model or test it before I convert the models to obj you can always download a trial of 3dsmax and an older version of corona renderer( prior to 1.0 they were free).
        Im almost sure that some textures are missing too, so if anybody need them, tell me and I will take a look.

        PD: I think that neogeo pocket and playstation 1 are missing, I need to take a look at that.
        PD2: If you dont get the same look as me after the render, take in account that I heavily photoshop all the renders, if you need the .psd I can provide it, but they are too heavy(>25MB) than github can hold, so ask for it.

          @tronkyfran I recently updated this theme and I still don't have a formatted "arcade" section. I could have sworn you did an image for arcade. Am I remembering it wrong, or is there still some theme work yet to be done?

          I just love these images. Sadly, I only have a short list of them setup on my cabinet!

                Sure, youll get that vic20, its very similar to c64.

                @caver01 You've got the chance to choose, what Arcade Cabinet would you like to appear on "Arcade"???

                  @tronkyfran Well, if I had to choose I might pick Joust, as that was always my go-to game as a kid. It's also a fairly typical cabinet shape. Besides my personal choice, I would think it should be a classic stand-up game, like PacMan, Donkey Kong, etc.

                          This is my favorite theme. Simple and sexy. I just wish there were 32x and Sega CD images. :)

                            I've had those two under muy radar a long time, because they are a bit more complicated , but maybe its the moment to leave lazyness behind, I cant promise anything, but Ill try!!!

                                @tronkyfran I've updated the theme with your latest arcade assets. It will be nice once we can get a frontend that will handle all your awesome pictures

                                  @tronkyfran OH WOW! It's better than I expected. This is very cool. Thanks for working with Joust. Such a good game. And thanks, @herb_fargus for the updates. Ok, now I gotta go load this thing! Fantastic!

                                    @tronkyfran said in Background images, coming back!!!:

                                    Second one is really bland, I know :(

                                    Actually, I just updated and I think the second one is perfect. . . The controls below the center scrolling band clearly represent a simple, arcade control panel without being too busy, and the marquee above represents the nostalgic appeal of spotting your favorite game (well, my favorite, anyway). I think it frames the menu really well, and has just enough of the screen peeking out from underneath that I can see the mount ready to play!

                                    Well done!

                                      I always forget the carousel and its white bar when doing this images, cant wait to get the possibility of changing its opacity, lets see what can we get of thE last developments in emulation station, it would be awesome to make a theme with just the logos and the backgrounds!!! Next one VIC20, glad you liked it @caver01 !! And thx for ALL your work, @herb_fargus !!

                                          @tronkyfran That's the original VIC20 with correct colors and logo:
                                          0_1477997489849_VIC20.jpg
                                          I had one so I can confirm ;-)

                                          This old ad shows also side and back views ; with not so common logo top left and correct logo as a sticker in the middle over the keyboard (sticker didn't exist on actual machines afaik..)
                                          0_1477997564185_Shatner_Vic20.jpg

                                          High-res details of they keyboard in this image.

                                          If you need an svg Vic20 logo I can provide it.
