what do you want in a theme?
« on: June 28, 2014, 09:43:06 pm »
I am abot to make a bunch of free themes for download.
So that being said what would you want to see? Added systems like gamecube or virtual boy?
As of right now I am taking custom orders for those that want them and will work on them in my free time.

Make an truly great hyperspin look-alike skin with just a few suggestions:

1) Make it free  ;)
2) if the skin's going to use game mascot's, don't use the incorrect mascot from that generation like "N64 mario" on snes theme or "Dreamcast sonic" on genesis
3) Make a good composition on each game screen, sometimes I've seen that the video or logo covers up the background image

That would be cool. The only thing I cant figure out is how I could present the game systems in the wheel fashion.
