@Ratte Great job, now we have more commodore on recalbox !

No more opinions?
So I produced a piece of crap.

@ratte it's really interesting even though I can't try it right now.
Maybe you should tag some moderators in your comment to give a signal

@Ratte , @Secamfr do you think those addons could be integrate in Recalbox ?

[Ratte]

I don't mind. It depends on the recalbox staff.

[Gaetan]

I don't know who to contact, but maybe @Substring does ?

[RustyMG]

Wow I might get to play all of Jeff Minters Vic 20 classics again !
I hope this gets integrated into the build - fantastic work everyone

[Substring]

We don't add binaries. We need source code.

[Ratte]

The "vice" source is available:

new theme gfx

[Substring]

@ratte if you feel like contributing to the theme, we may take a look at it

[Secamfr]

@Ratte I love this pic !

[Ratte]

I had no better idea, how to visualize a DTV.

Btw. I use a combination of MS Paint, xnview and inkscape to create a theme.
First I paint (in a oldskool way) the picture with MS Paint, convert it to png, reduce colors and save it with a transparent backgroud with xnview.
The final picture is converted to svg with the inkscape function "draw bitmap".

But …. the final picture is sometimes too smooth, and i miss some sharpness in the result.
And my files are bigger than files from other themes.

Can anyone help, is there a tutorial for themes and recommended software ?

[Ratte]

Has anyone ever tried to find a picture with the top view of the DTV? I had to paint some sketches first. The controlstick of the DTV is actually black, I used the red color from the original Competition Pro 5000 joystick.
