A few more theme additions:

Sony Playstation 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5mmmmZIHcM

-Rolling disc animation and some cool menu effects using zorder

Sony Playstation 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcm8V2MvsXM

-No fancy effects in this one, just a nice built up theme in photoshop.

Xbox 360 Theme add on: https://youtu.be/JNon_UKW6UY?si=vr8nWkFkRA2G320-

This might just be the best theme yet, Microsoft Xbox 360 theme, built in photoshop and brought to life with Attract Mode +

This one's using a new Attract Mode + module by Chadnaut called Sequence, this is an advanced preview copy, but it's looking incredible from my perspective.  Big thank you to Chadnaut, who basically wrote the majority of the animations in this theme using it.  I've now got my head around it, so will be using it for themes going forward.   The big bonus on sequence is stackable animations, so you can do lots of cool sequences very easily with it. 

https://github.com/Chadnaut/Attract-Mode-Modules/tree/master/modules/sequence

Interactable features:

-Toggable menu reflections (massive thanks to Tankman3737, I couldn't get this to work, but he very kindly spent the time getting it working and looking great!)
-Animated ripples on menu floor   
-Disc tray opens and closes
-Disc pops into tray and closes with tray
-Power button follows original Xbox 360 load sequence
-Tray eject button presses and depressed with tray animations
-Custom menu following Xbox 360 NXE theme, but with my own twist on it.
-Custom meta screen, meta disc animation.
-Toggle full screen on / off

Big shout out to Chadnaut and Tankman3737, you guys are awesome!

Congrats for you themes they are really awesome what a great work!
I have only one question why a PS5 theme? No emulators so what's the purpose?

Hey @Giacomo1982 thanks for the kind words :-)    PS5 is just a personal thing for me, eventually in the future we might see an emulator, but for myself, I just like the concept of seeing the games that were exclusives on PS5 (at least until PC ported, in their own artworks (disc/box) which I've made myself aswell.   But yeah for now sadly just pc ports

Couple of additions:

NeoGeo Pocket Colour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTU2fiRTN_s&ab_channel=Zestful

-Thumbstick moves up/left/down/right as you move your real life controller
-Original Neo Geo Colour menu recreation
-Current time as per OG menu


Uzebox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQYHuXFWK0I&t=15s&ab_channel=Zestful

Collobaration on this one with TankMan3737 he came up with this incredible blades menu within the tablet, which looks and works great & initial theme build with the CRT.   I've skinned a nostalgic room vibe around this with photoshop and added some hand animations to it, I think it's turned out great.

Interactive features:

-Interactive tablet, using TankMan3737's amazing blade menu.
  -Active menu indicator
  -Menu expands to show cart and game story
-Hand swipes up and down as you navigate the menu
-CRT, with a right hand next game preview (if going forwards in the menu)

Using Chadnaut's sequence for the hand animations which is an advanced preview copy: https://github.com/Chadnaut/Attract-Mode-Modules/tree/master/modules/sequence
