Hello everyone.... New visitor!
I've been a GP2x user since last summer and I love the concept of a machine that is open-source, so that everyone can contribute. Unfortunately I'm afraid I'm not much of a coder... but I am a graphic designer by trade - and I made up some external skins over the weekend.
I thought how cool is it to have such an amazing device ...but what's the fun of having a machine that plays Atari if it doesn't LOOK like a little Atari? (or SNES etc.)
These are in Illustrator and there's still a few rough edges so they're not final - but you'll get the general idea. I'm going to build an alternate NES one based on the NES Max controller as I'm not completely happy with this first one. The orange at the bottom of the Atari is a placeholder for woodgrain (which is a must for us old schoolers).
Also note that a few of these are a little dreamy as I know I would have to change out or color the stick and possibly the buttons to make it a reality. But hey, I was having fun. ENJOY
