            The PICO-8 has been added to RetroArch 1.13.0. I just added it to my RetroPie. A theme for that one would be great! If you haven't added that system it is similar to TIC-80 or WASM-4.

                      I'm just thinking about creating loading pictures like this. I'm not quite sure yet if I should do that, but I'm also considering creating my own comic theme that would look like the loading screens. However, I'm not good at scripts, maybe I'll find someone who can help me there.
                      The loading pictures are not yet perfect, just a first idea.

                        These look quite nice. Having more interesting launching images does add polish to the overall feel. I do like these much better than the script generated ones that can be created for the comic book theme.

                        Also thought I'd share the launching images i've been using in case anyone else is interested:

                          I experimented with your idea.
                          It's possible to add a runcommand-onstart.sh script in :
                          /opt/retropie/configs/all

                          This runcommand-onstart.sh worked for me (make sure you install feh) :

                          # make sure feh is installed => sudo apt-get install feh
                          # $1 is the systemname, so for, for example, psx it becomes ..../psx/psx-onstart.png
                          # it only runs if it can find the onstart picture
                          # if you need somehow to get to the retropie-launch-screen then press the escape key when the picture appears
                          [[ -f /etc/emulationstation/themes/es-theme-ComicBook/$1/$1-onstart.png ]] && \
                          feh -F -N -Z -Y -q /etc/emulationstation/themes/es-theme-ComicBook/$1/$1-onstart.png &

                              very cool I did not know that you can run a script at the start. What I still don't understand is what is the difference between your script and including launching.png in the individual system configs.

                                If that works you probably don't even need a script.

                                Just tested including launching.png in the individual system configs and it looks the same as using the runcommand-onstart.sh solution.

                                With the the runcommand-onstart.sh solution you can do more things, like playing a video when starting the game, for example.
                                But for your needs your solution is good enough !

                                  I have used the event scripts to open a game manual PDF on a separate device or display a custom marquee. It does give you more flexibility, but the launching images were designed for this use case i think.

                                      @3Draco Any chance you can make one for "Plug & Play"? I'm using the Sinden light gun bare bones 9 image. The games are Mission: Paintball Powered Up and Star Wars - The Clone Wars, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant and Monster Mayhem.

                                      Here was my attempt for Sinden light guns :)
