Sorry for more pathetic questions, I am slowly getting the hang of this and now I have a sheet of questions after I downloaded themes and video for MAME only (128 build).

I think this question applies to all builds for MAME, I have a good 40 or so themes that are missing, I have double and tripple checked what I have in the Themes folder and also looked on the FTP site. I can't find them. I have a hard time believing someone hasn't made a Theme, most of these are pretty popular games (I think).

Just a few Themes I am missing: Blades of Steel, Castlevania, Vanguard 2.

If these aren't there yet, no problem, just want to make sure I am looking in the right place.

I will start with this question and ask more later.

Thanks.

Usually a theme for a "popular" game is not available due to little to no artwork. Example, this is all I could find for Vanguard II:

On a side note...
If noone responds to a post, just try to "bump" it about a week or two after it was posted - instead of creating a new post in a different thread. Also, there is a theme request thread here: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=44 But again, if artwork isn't available, there's a much smaller chance a theme will be completed. And since all the theme designers do this for fun/free, we tend to do what we think is interesting to us (at least, that's what I do).

if you could get the side art for vanguard 2 - that could be good.
