Emulator Backgrounds: Console Look v1.0

Thanks for the GBA icon and background, kaltar. I'm with Greg...the artwork is perfect...and you're a classy person to boot.

You're a real benefit to the PSP community. Super helpful without any of the snide superiority that some people have who've been on the scene longer...

Thanks For The Comment Dave (IWantMyMTV)

BTW, If You Can Test It, Feedback Is Still Needed I Dont Know If It's Too Much To the Left The GameboyAdvance In The Background. If There Are Any Other Consoles That Are Being REALLY being Used By Many, Let Me Know...

I Am Really Not Sure Of The Icons... I Saw Them Yesterday and Im Not 100% Happy With Them. Maybe Just The Official Logo Of The Console Would Look Better and Cleaner. What Do You Think?

Feedback:

Looks great kaltar...I don't think it's too far left on the background image...it's about the same distance over from the right edge as the NES and Gameboy backgrounds...looks good as I scroll down through your other backgrounds and icons...

And I don't think the icons are too busy...just right...the Genesis badge is horrific but that's not your fault...Sega made a big, ugly silver logo...

I think what I like the most about your set is that it reminds me of the actual hardware...I had an NES, a Genesis, an SNES and a Gameboy...seeing the hardware is almost like getting the console and the control pads out...and then there's the actual game running almost flawlessly on an emulator...it's like a time machine (except I eventually have to put it down and go to work)...

I think the icons (including the latest) look great...thanks again...

You had the vision...and I'm sure it took a while to find those pics of the hardware...

Well, The Pictures Are Easy To Find. The First Background Is The More Time Consuming One Cause It Defines the Rules. The Others Are Done Waaaay Faster Cause I Know Exactly What Effects To Apply To Everything, Even The Inclination Of The Background Hardware

I Wanted Feedback Cause I Have No More PSP To Check How It Looks, And Sometimes The Images Doesn't Transform correctly To The PSP (The "Interlaced" Lines Of The Background Can Look Horrible In Some Cases). That's The Most Important Thing

As You Just Said Dave, I Wanted Something To Remind Us Of The Hardware. I Hated To See All The Backgrounds Related To A Certain Game, Instead Of the Console! And Don't Make me Think About The Times I Could Play Without going to work! I Miss That! thanks For the Feedback.

Those background pictures are brilliant. Just looking at the Game Gear and the original Game Boy images bring back memories of when I first used them in 1995. Those were the days.
