        @TMNTturtlguy yeah boy! They are ready to be installed through rpie-art. How to do this:

        1. launch rpie-art.
        2. choose the .../meleu/rpie-launching-images repository.
        3. choose Update files from remote repositoriy.
        4. choose Launching image list.
        5. check the files you want to install with space (or button B if using with joystick).
        6. choose continue and the image files will be downloaded and installed.
        7. done! you can exit the rpie-art and launch some games to see the beauty.

            @hansolo77 there are some options:

            • the link on my signature;
            • the link on the "useful topics index" post;
            • google for "rpie-art".

            :)

            I hope you like it Han!

                These are stunning, and it really feels like I've polished the whole look of Retropie. Thanks again TMNTTurtlguy. :)

                One thing though, I've lost the ability to go into the options before the game launches. The image says press a button to configure, but it's not working. Is there a way to restore this behaviour should I need it? Many thanks.

                  @ranma you have to wait until the launching images goes away, then immediately push A button. This is the way emulation station is designed.

                  Edit: see this post with the same question: link text

                    Awesome, I knew it would be something daft I'd missed. :)

                    Thanks for replying!

                      I would replace "emulation station" with "runcommand" in the sentence above. ;-)

                        I hope it's okay I reply to this after so long, especially for a request.

                        I was wondering if you have plans to expand on these? I'd love to see a Final Fantasy, Tales of, or any other jRPG series launching screen image. Or just a catch all one for that genre. Possibly ones for Zelda, Donkey Kong, Kirby, or other mainstream Nintendo characters?

                        Your theme and launching images have really made my retropie something I look forward to booting up every day. Thanks so much!

                        I made an edited version of the SNES Hacks one here SNES Hacks Alt - I liked the Samus/Mario/Link art better for it.
                        Also one for SNES MSU-1 (CD) SNES CD - Based on the menu logo art made by @pittstone said in New Comic Book Theme!:

                        @tmntturtlguy Oh, O.k. Can i ask you, to make a Wallpaper for me?

                        I have made a Folder for SNES MSU-1 Games and it works great. Only a nice Wallpaper is Missing. I have a Logo, too!

                          Using the ComicBook theme on my Windows install and would love to add these launch images.
                          Can that be done and if so what do I need to do?
                          Thanks in advance!

                            The splash images are not part of Emulationstation, but part of the launcher - Runcommand. So, unless you find a substitute for it, the answer would be no.
