I made myself a splashscreen

[IceChes1]

You could always use google chrome, right-click and do "save image as." then you could do some stuff and manually add it.

I'll post instructions tomorrow.

There's a typo in the tag...
Oops.

Here are the download instructions.
Power on your pi.
Go into the file manager.
Power on another computer.
Use Chrome to save the splashscreen to a USB drive.
Transfer it to the /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/ folder on the pi.
type emulationstation into the terminal to start back up RetroPie.
Go into the splashscreens menu.
Go to "Choose a splashscreen."
Go to "Select a splashscreen from /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/
Select the splashscreen.
Confirm and reboot.

That didn't work...
I'll try something else.

Turns out, there was a formatting error in the name of the splashscreen! (oops.)

I looked a while back and the name was: Splashscreen.png\

I removed the backslash and changed the name to: splash.png and it worked!

@IceChes1 You should submit a pull request to retro pie on github for this.

[IceChes1]

You actually think this thing is good?

@IceChes1 no need to be mean. If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all and keep scrolling.

[IceChes1]

@markyh444 Um. This is my splashscreen. I made it. How am I being mean if i'm insulting myself?

@IceChes1 I think it looks great! I would definitely use it.

@Unknown Thanks so much! It only took like 20 minutes to put together on a website called Canva. It's really handy if you want to make something like it.

Oh my lord, I am such a noob!

Sorry mate, thought someone was trolling you. Trying to defend you.

I'll maybe read posts a bit better in future. It's been a long day at work....

@IceChes1 Your welcome :)

@markyh444 Understandable, we all make mistakes.

Actually hilarious.
