You are Mr. Awesome. I've been looking for skins like this, but this one is the best.

I have recently taken up emulation again after a few months. Before that break, I have emulated for a whole year.
This is the best theme, in my opinion, that I have ever come across for VBA. I love how it looks like a real Gameboy Advance SP (the logo was drawn nicely), and how it draws away from the fact you are using an emulator. My favorite theme is the 2x Transparent skin, as it supports upscaling (make sure to use a filter; I think I've used hq2x before) and has the flip-up screen look of a Gameboy Advance SP.
The floating box is very useful if you do not want to right click on the emulator. It also stays out of the way, leaving you room to focus. Being able to pause the game, save a state, and open a rom from a click is pretty awesome.
I'm new to DeviantArt, but I found the favorite button. I love this skin so much. *clicks* I'll be sure to write about it in my journal. ^^

Now, how about a DS Lite??

Aww man, I don't even want to think about making another one of these. Lol. They're take forever to make but it's still fun to make them. I was thinking about making either a PSP or a Nintendo DS. Not sure which one though. No matter which one I decide on, it's still going to take a big chunk of my time to make. BTW,Thanks for the favorite!

I know how that feels.
My vote is for a DS, just because I feel loyal to Nintendo's handhelds.

Thanks for the comment. I just finished up my Gameboy Micro skin. There are some really cool features that's going to be added into it. I'm waiting on someone to make me a program to include in the new skin. So when he finishes it i'll release it. There will be some extra goodies to download also. So make sure that you look out for it.
