Runcommand System Splashscreens!

[Hyruleslink]

@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?

@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

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:

RPi Loading Screen

@r4l

As far as I know you cannot use an animated gif on the loading screen. I don't think "gif" is a supported extension. But it will load PNGs... so possibly an animated png? lol. Probably not.

@Rookervik - I've tweaked your megadrive/segacd/sega32x runcommand splashes to show the EU colour scheme rather than the Genesis scheme that is currently included in the pack. My tweaked megadrive and sega32x splashes also include the latest system logos from your Pixel theme. Could I please send them over to you for inclusion in the pack, or alternatively share them here on the thread myself? No worries if not - happy to abide by your wishes.

Thanks for the pack and the theme :)

Thanks for your hard work.

@Rookervik Is there by any chance updated version of all these great launch.png in HD 1920x1080 or 720P?

[MJTKG]

Is it possible to show a video instead of a still png?
