This thread is the biggest tease since Coyote Ugly.

Sorry about that. Didn't realize how long just doing one console would take. Never found the time to complete the rest. Was really excited to start it and could have looked cool. Who knows..maybe down the road some time I'll get back on it. Most likely not but ya never know.

I'm actually surprised someone hasn't taken your mock-up pics and completed it themselves by now. Who knows, maybe it will be me (I currently know nothing about creating themes).

FYI @y2guruone of the theme creators in the community has been working on a visual theme editor that any end user can use to create themes I don't think its quite complete yet but getting there and when its finished I'm sure we will see an influx of new themes created by people who don't know how to code themselves.

yeah sure, download them from my server. There's the background wall with the posters thats the "fanart" file and then the SNES PSD with the main stuff in the foreground.

SNES Console

I also made a NES version to use as an overlay for my RetroPie NES setup.

By any chance can you share the PSD for your NES Overlay? I'd like to use that TV and make an SNES version. This picture has gotten me so incredibly excited. This is perfection! I absolutely love this. Can't stop playing NES now

Thank you so much! I'll share when I finish it. Started last night by adding the red on light, changing the perspective of the SNES to fit on this table. I'll keep it close to the feel of this one. I like your idea of the arcade cabinet. Maybe I'll put one in. Really thank you so much! Had so much fun playing last night because of your NES Room. Really makes a difference

Still not finished, but wanted to share and ask if I can make a new thread dedicated to "Game Room Overlays?"

Would anyone be interested in making some more console overlays?

I have some overlays but don't fit with the style of the thread.  Been wanting to use these overlays but have no clue have to make a theme for them.  I have more for different systems.

Man, this theme would have been absolutely amazing, I really wish that I knew how to code or that someone else would pick up on this. 

Also, great job on the overlays Copper! They're fantastic!

Yeah, kinda disappointed in myself for only getting 2 done and not having the time I thought I would to do all the main consoles. Each one took longer than I thought it would with all the masking out and stuff in Photoshop.

Cooper has done a good job taking over with the templates I sent him...maybe he can finish what I started :)

So, I actually came up with an idea for my personal use until someone that can code takes over the project or you decide to finish it (should either of those ever happen). I simply turned the PSD's you provided into videos (like Viking's Nostalgia videos) and use them as my Platform videos. Instead of putting gameplay videos on the screen, I decided to go with the consoles intro theme (think "Sega") followed by the original commercials for the consoles. I haven't decided what to do for the consoles that were never advertised on TV though (probably just gameplay videos).

It's actually pretty easy to do, you did most of the work already and using your layouts and effects I can probably make a few for other systems too.
