New Comic Book Theme!

@zenjiro I'm really digging this. Thank you! You hit on all the best ones: TF2, Quake, Halo. So good!

As somebody who grew up in the East, I'm proud of your resolve to conserve our proud bootleg past.

I didn't even know what Nintendo was until I was 15 (all I knew was Super Mario, and that's it).

All that's missing is putting one of these in the image:

@h2805270 I'm glad you like it. I never knew of the Dendy console until I watched a small documentary made by "Did You Know Gaming - Region Locked"

I also found out that the emulator Mesen has an option to target and emulate the Dendy hardware:

Retroachievements even has some of the games listed with achievements: https://retroachievements.org/game/2225

Typically for each of these themes I try to keep each panel to iconic games for that system or series. I was thinking about adding an image of one of the multi-game cartridges, but I figured I should just find games that make the system standout and shine.

Edit Feb 27th: DYKG just released this video which also seems appropriate

I like It also. Great idea to add Dendy !!

Here's an idea while I'm feeling creative

Where is Dendy today?

After Steepler fell apart in 1996, he ended up like most 90's kids from commie countries did.

The parents spoiled him relentlessly, he grew up a complete ill-tempered bully. After losing his college scholarship after getting arrested for taking drugs, he decides to slowly improve his life after fathering a child to the one woman that tried to fix him (it was all for naught).

One messy divorce, years of complaints, a lot of disownments and a financial crisis later, he's now working as a private contractor in construction, drinking himself to sleep with Non-Alcoholic Beer, puffing synthetic Mary with his so-called friends, listening to Viktor Tsoi in his BMW on lonely nights, and wondering where it all went wrong after Steepler...

Just pushed the Resident Evil / Biohazard theme to the repo.

Zenjiro, thanks for such a fantastic theme, is great. I wonder if you have any chance to add a power menu section. It's the only part I'm missing on my system.

@diablo-loco Not sure what you mean by the "Power Menu" section. Are you referring to just altering the style of the Start Menu?

This?:

@MrCoolSpan

I pushed American Laser Games (ALG) to the repo. Will work on "WoW Action Max" a bit later.

Hello Zenjiro. Would you happen to have a theme set for the Sega Model 2? I see that Model 3 has already been added. Great work and thank you for the effort :-)!

Zenjiro

@striderx99 Sure. I'll create it when I can. Currently pre-occupid with real life stuff, but I hope to get it done in the next few weeks.

@zenjiro Is there a Download link for the full repo with all actualisations? I Dont use themedownloader on pi, i use emulationstation on Windows.

Zenjiro

@pittstone I'm the same as you, I only use Emulationstation on Windows. Easiest way to get everything is to just go to the repo and click the green "code" drop-down then select "download zip"

Then just extract the folder to your themes location. Nice thing about EmulationStation being open source is that this method will/should work across all platforms.

Zenjiro

@striderx99 Here is Model 2

Hi @zenjiro! I love what you're doing with the Comic Book theme... Have you done "VIC-20" system graphics? If not, could I please request that?
Thanks - and keep up the awesome work! :-)
