Hi fellows!

I'm playing with the trick @Rookervik started here. It's a way to show custom images when launching a game (yeah, pretty much like what happens when "launch menu art" is enabled, but with a custom image rather than a scraped image for a specific game).

I made some tests using these last splashscreens @lilbud released. So I would like to make a request for you artists: splashscreens inspired in the systems (NES, SNES, MegaDrive, Atari 2600, etc.) and with that "press a button to configure" message (the message can be discrete :-) ).

How about this?

Thanks, this is the first one made with Photoshop. The other ones will be out soon. School starts tomorrow for me. So they could take some time

@lilbud really cool!!! I'm curious to see what you will do for atari 2600. :-D

May I act like that Bubble Buddy again? :-)

Actually I forgot to ask for it initially. Please, forgive me...

I feel like there's a missing message: "Launching the game..."

~~With only the "press a button to config", those fancy images look like a config procedure starting screen.~~ (I didn't really mean it)

@meleu Now let me act like Squidward

If you need anything else, PLEASE hesitate to ask

I will not do one of this for each system, I do not have time to do one for each of the 80 or so systems. I'll do A2600, Maybe you should ask edmaul69, he is doing a theme like this.

@meleu Here is A2600

@lilbud they make an atari font that would match better with this pic.

lilbud

@ edmaul69
For the Atari logo? or the game text?

edmaul69

@lilbud the atari logo

lilbud

@edmaul69 Done and Done

Now let me act like the kind and friendly Sponge Bob and share a github trick with you. :-)

I saw you have a repository (https://github.com/lilbud/material-splashscreen) and it has only three files that seems to be screenshots for using in some other place where you want to show how your material-theme looks like.

I went through this recently: I want to show to the users some screenshots of my joystick-selection tool but I don't want to put the image files in the same repository, so the users don't have to download these images when cloning my repository.

Here is the trick I used:

opened an issue on my repository (https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/) and named it as "Images for README".
closed the issue right after its creation
went to the closed issue and put the screenshot images I want in the comments. Note that you can access these images with the URLs that github creates (https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/...)
TADA! now I can link/show these images in other places!

I hope this is helpful to you.

Cheers!

@meleu This repository I made when trying to add my theme to the gallery. I am still learning GitHub

I noticed some of the lilbub splash screens are named slightly differently despite being the same image when looking through the ones that download automatically. Also, I fixed up the Secret of Mana one. Now how do I upload it?
