Runcommand System Splashscreens!

[Rookervik]

@R1n0X Hahaha, thanks for the heads up. So far mine is running well. :D

@darksavior first, make sure you have the PCE CD individual "launching.png" in the "configs/pce-cd" folder

Then, edit the command line in the "configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg" line to the below:

<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS pce-cd %ROM%</command>'

where pce-cd is placed is where pcengine used to be for that emulators' config.

this is how I got my PCE CD specific launching image to load

[Darksavior]

@shizzmoney Yep, thanks. Figured it out months ago:)

@rookervik hi these are great! Some of my splash screens have a greyish background and not fully black so it doesnt blend in... is there something I can do to fix this for them all?

[Rookervik]

@skr1b Not really. I still need to re-do all of these. I have the graphics ready, it's just a lot of saving files.

@Rookervik Thanks for making these pixel launch screens!

[Rookervik]

@hyruleslink lol, you're welcome. I've made a couple others. I made this one for my friend so he can see some information before a game loads.

Made it super fast. I'd want to re-do it if others wanted to use it.

@rookervik can you help with trying to get this runcommand splash screen on DOSBox because it just doesn't work for some reason.

I have a pi2 and I am on retropie 4.2.17

[Rookervik]

@sammyboy Sadly, those controls don't do the same thing in DOSBox. DOSBox is a stand-alone emulator and has it's own set of controls.

This control configuration only works for Libretro-based systems that run in RetroArch (the default emulation platform for most systems on retropie)

Thank you very much

Hey @Rookervik , I LOVE the screens, and I edited the set to fit a 4:3 aspect ratio for my handheld. Do you have any desire to grab the 4:3 files I have and post them up with the widescreen ones you've made? I figure someone else out there may want a 4:3 set. :)

@rookervik EDIT: Nvm :)

Hi guys, I scraped some cover art and screenshots with xml scraper, and now when i start a game it shows the screenshot instead of the pixel consol art as splash screen. how can i revert this?

[meleu]

@serjo420 my suggestion: use the rpie-art tool (link on my signature) to install the pixel launching images.

After installing the rpie-art, launch it, choose the repo https://github.com/meleu/rpie-launching-images, and then follow the instructions on the screen. ;-)

[FlightRisk]

The link to download these images seems to be broken. Anyone have an updated location?

Thanks toe Meleu. I found it here: https://github.com/ehettervik/es-runcommand-splash

@Rookervik

Here's two images I made to put on a retropie I build for a friend that used PS3 controllers:

Here's another I made for a "mini SNES" retropie build that used snes controllers and the awesome ComicBook theme and video splashscreens:

Hate to post on a thread that's old and had its last bump a month ago, but I was curious if an animated GIF could be used somehow? I've tried just adding it to the configs/all directory on my setup but no dice...

Here's my animated GIF I made in PS:
