Splashscreens

I loved it!
I want to be the president of the @lilbud fan club!! -
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

This date was the release of the Sega Dreamcast, 17 years ago today. Was not going to miss this.

@meleu Here is SNES

@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 Here is A2600

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

@ edmaul69
For the Atari logo? or the game text? -
@lilbud the atari logo

@edmaul69 Done and Done

[off-topic post]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?
-
Well, I had one that was over 3 MB, but this one conforms to the forums file size limitations.

Hey guys, great news!
The "launching" image is now an official feature in RetroPie.
What you have to do in order to get it shown:
- update runcommand:
Enter RetroPie-Setup -> Update RetroPie-Setup script. And then Manage Packages -> Manage core Packages -> runcommand -> Install/Update from binary.
- Put your custom system specific launching image in
/opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEM/
(replace SYSTEM by the ovious) and name it aslaunching.jpg
orlaunching.png
. A more general image (not system specific) can be placed at/opt/retropie/configs/all/
.
OBS.: this works for RetroArch emulators only.
Huge thanks to @Rookervik for get the original idea, @lilbud for the lovely images, and BuZz for implementing it better than I first tried.

That's pretty slick! I haven't done any splash screens in a while. I've done all the ones I wanted, and I think we've covered most popular games. :D
-
@Rookervik the idea of this new feature is to use launching images related to the systems, like this one @lilbud made for NES (my favourite system):
-
@Rookervik That is why I did Highlander and Miami Vice, we are running out of video games
-
So I followed your instructions, but it's not working. Is there anywhere else you need to change settings?
