Hmm, I dunno. Try playing around with photoshop until you come up with something, like an effect or something, that looks like you could make a good skin with it. Or just think about the winamp layout and try to come up with a cool way to make a usable but original skin.
BTW, have you tried checking out screenshots for Grand Theft Auto Advance? It's supposed to be a pretty good game but I bet the graphics are a lot easier to make a skin out of.

It's a bloody awful game to play though, I could only play like 10 minutes at a time without starting to feel sick, really bad flicker on it, wiped it off my cart after 2 days..

"Wiped it off my cart"? Wtf?

[flatmatt]

Jones, should you really be talking about that stuff around here?

[Mr Jones]

Don't see why not, nothing illegal with a developers flash rom cart, bought quite legaly...... ....

I know this is getting a little off topic, but where do you get your mods? I use a program called visual boy advance to play them on my computer! (perfectly legal...I think)

[Mr Jones]

Yes, it is off topic and I'm not answering the question you are asking, I suggest we get back on topic sharpish....

Actually, I'm suprised there is no official GTA:SA skin out there, the Vice City one came out pretty much the same time as the game, yes I know it's a modern skin, but you know what I mean.

mmm...wouldn't it be cool to make a GTA 2 Clasic Skin?...
wanna try that!! hehe maybe on this summer holidays...

Have you decided on a new theme yet Yokoi? As much fun as I'm having giving Jones a hard time over the PM's, I'd feel much more important giving people advice on skinning. If you're still considering a game skin, I'd say your best bet is an NES or SNES game, because any older and it'll be too ugly for the general population to not tend to find it ugly, and any newer games tend to have graphics too fancy to work with... The easiest game skins are the old-school games that had a solid black background, in my experience. But it all depends on what sort of skin you're looking to make.
