nice! very clean. I made custom cover frames for all artwork covers. ps3 was the hardest one

I've also attempted to make my personal version of this Aura theme as it's the best I've seen for console games (wouldn't share it out of respect for the original creator). Put a lot of work into it the past year. Got it working with the same type of menu system as other popular builds like CoinOPS with the help of onMenuIdle. Not as good as selecting a game to go into the games menu like the original Aura theme, but using Retrofe I don't think there's another way to do it without making each collection a game like the original. I absolutely love it, and having spent the last year on it, I can see how much work the creator put into it planning, and creating it. Much respect.

Legend. Setting numscreens to 2 but setting the second screen to a number outside of 1 like 2 or 3 works. Retrofe is opening every time I run it. Thanks for your help Jonah.

Cool, thanks for the confirmation and glad its working for you.

Thanks Jonah. Will give it a go.
