SD2SNES Theme/Menu

[Estil]

Can alternate menu screens (whatever you call them) be done on the NES and Genesis Mega/Everdrives?  Would be nice to have an alternative to their default plain Jane menus

I'd be very much interested in this as well but I seem to recall reading that on the NES/Famicom in particular it's not possible because there isn't enough internal memory to generate anything more complicated.

Surely the Mega Everdrive (Genesis) could do that though right?

Yes the Mega Drive has two background layers so I think it should be possible (SNES has four). The NES has only one, having an arbitrary background behind the interface menu is probably not going to happen on the N8.

Using the theme creator I just made a really simple theme based on the snes console colors.

Here is a quick tip:

If you want to maintain 1:1 aspect ratio of your title image you have to shrink it first horizontally by 0.8571, so when it's displayed on a 4:3 CRT it will look normal again.

For example:
A 50x50 circle should be shrunk to 50*0.8571 x 50 circle first to look like 50x50 on a 4:3 CRT.

(4/3) = 100
(8/7) = X

So this (first shrunk by 0.8571):


Will look like this (correct aspect in 4:3):
