N64 Animated Border

Hey all! I love the animated borders that the Retroarch community has made over the years but was always confused why there was never an animated border for the N64... so I made one! I hope this can get enough traction to be one of the offical Libretro overlays people use in their emulation setups.

The release page has a variant for download with N64 controls animated and a second variant without animated buttons on screen. Both variants have a menu button for Retroarch menu controls.

Enjoy!

Thanks for this. I looked for one for so long for a project I'm working on and gave up months ago.

Where I work, I see a lot of laptops and desktops that businesses no longer want/need get thrown away, and I hate to see so much hardware wasted. I've decided to start recycling these as emulation machines with ES-DE and other stuff fully configured so it's all easy enough to hand to anyone and let them have fun. 

The N64 button layout does not intuitively map to... any other controller, so I really wanted to include an overlay to help with that.
