Starting the service as early as the 'local-fs' target doesn't always work, if the framebuffer is not initialized, then you can't display anything. For the Pi4, the display is re-initialized when the KMS/DRM framebuffer emulation is loaded, so any images shown before that will simply be erased.

You can try using the modifying the existing asplashscreen service (defined in /etc/systemd/system/asplashscreen.service) and see if changing the dependencies will make it start earlier, but the result might not be what you want.

@h2805270 Really clever idea, looks a lot like Teletext, and clean layout too. My only reservation is that I'm not sure I'd want to spend too long looking a Teletext screen, as they're not the easiest on the eye. I was never a big user back in its heyday though, and others may well have a greater fondness and nostalgia for it.

I think thats what i'm looking for. I'm trying to figure out how retropie, emulation station and retroarch all fit together. Thats my biggest problem! Thank you much!

@Dankster1st

No problem, man. One other thing, though. You'll have to resize the screenshots or they'll looked squished.

I figured it out. Change md_image in the theme.xml file to md_thumbnail

Yes, I know this is an old thread, but tronkyfran is my favorite es theme. However, there are a few systems that aren’t covered. Any chance that this will ever be updated again?

@joharibk hiding the boot text has nothing to do with Pegasus and this Pegasus Theme, even less.
Maybe you need to follow this tutorial of how to hide the boot text

Wow, I really like this! I'd love to see more custom images for other systems

Man this is so awesome! I love it, nice work.

I've never heard of shadow foam before, but will check it out. I attempted something similar a while back with my Switch using this packaging foam and a scalpel. Had a smart flight case for it to sit inside as well.

The cut out I made wasn't as clean as I had hoped tbh, it was functional, but not smart enough for my liking.

Maybe it's something I'll revisit in the future using this stuff.

@ReadyPlayaWon

works with that way too
thanks for your help

@zhajdu how would a complete novice use these files I'm doing my first attempt for kids Xmas

Link is down, anyone got the theme?

@chicuelo Thank you! Your Dark the is brilliant by the way, thanks so much for making it available for us all! I made one tiny change - swapped the Amiga character art for one I made by editing the box art for Putty (I used to love that game!):

Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing whatever you might do next! 😊

@mpnuttall Sorry, I don't have any experience with such large files on Github. But Git Large File Storage (git-lfs) could be what you need:

https://git-lfs.github.com/

https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-large-files/versioning-large-files

a not good solution is use this:
<helpsystem name="help">
<fontPath>./_res/fonts/TitilliumWeb-Regular.ttf</fontPath>
<fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
<origin>0 0</origin>
<pos>1 1</pos>
</helpsystem>

but i would prefer to hide the help, but allow the user to reactivate it from the menu if he wants.

I just want to use a theme that is already set up for three media types. That will look much better than forcing a third image into one that's designed for two. I just thought there would be more than the two I mentioned...

I too notice this error. It looks like a couple things just need a little tweaking in the metadata area. Text wrapping and some spacings.
