                    I know this a quite a while @meleu, But I am wondering if there is a way to Generate a "RetroPie" image following your script? I would love to have the RetroPie start with a Matching Splash Screen, to match the rest of my Launch Images. Also I cant understand why one System isnt showing in the "Systemselect". Its in my systems file, and shows up on my pie. but doesnt show in the script to create.

                      I love this script, still uses it today.
                      However, I have to crop the images in photoshop afterwards, since neither of my builds hold a widescreen monitor.

                      I'd love for the script to have a widescreen/4:3 toggle in the setup part :)

                        @AndersHP +1 for the Resolution option can the script check what current resolution is and use that?

                          hey guys, I heard your voices! Could you update the package and check if it's working as you want?

                          Just to remember:
                          RetroPie Setup > Manage packages > exp > launchingimages > Update (from pre-built binary)

                          And then generate the images again. ;)

                          By the way, maybe this feature request would get more visibility in the issue tracker: https://github.com/meleu/generate-launching-images/issues/

                          Cheers!

                              can you show me the output of these two commands?, please:

                              cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/virtual_size
                              

                              and

                              fbset -s
                              

                              [UPDATE]
                              By the way, I didn't added an option, but made the script detect the aspect ratio.

                                @meleu Ok so I've just double-checked and retropie says it's updated. What I did was run the script for "arcade", the preview image still showed 16:9 and I checked by booting an actual game that it was 16:9.

                                Here is the output from those commands:

                                cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/virtual_size
                                
                                1280,1024
                                
                                fbset -s
                                
                                mode "1280x1024"
                                    geometry 1280 1024 1280 1024 32
                                    timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
                                    accel true
                                    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0
                                endmode
                                

                                All I can think is that there is an error in the script as the resolutions listed above are correct or there is an issue updating?

                                Let me know what I can do to help debug.

                                Thanks

                                  @Uskompuf thanks for you info, it made me realize that I needed to make a better calculation to detect the aspect ratio.

                                  Can you try to update and generate the images again? They'll hopefully be 4:3 this time.

                                    @meleu I tried updating but it said I already had latest version, then image was still 16:9.

                                    Could it be because I'm on pi 4?

                                      nop. It's totally unrelated.

                                      my suggestion: remove the launching image package and then reinstall it.

                                            @Uskompuf This might help, My resolution is 1280x1024, the generated image is 1024x576 not sure if rotation or something is wrong?

                                            Thanks
