@koda9901 thank you! I didn't even know that there were already loading images for the theme -> https://github.com/TMNTturtleguy/ComicBook-Theme-Launch-Images-for-Retropie

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.

Did't know that was possible.
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 !

@Folly @3Draco
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.

Also, is there a pc 88 set? If so, I would request pc 88.

@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 :)

@KisnardOnline Very Nice!

[duglor]

Has there been a new official comic book theme update with all of these new wonderful additions , added in?

[3Draco]

@duglor hope you like it ;-)

[3Draco]

@KisnardOnline a Plug and Play for Sinden? ... why not. do you have 3 more games? because i need 7 games für one comic.

edit...
maybe this is useful for someone:

@3Draco I'm blown away. Just amazing stuff, guy.

You should be proud of that talent. Thank You very much, sir!

[KisnardOnline]

@3Draco only 3 games... maybe you can use multiple images from each game. This one is also on windows only, but could add a 4th: http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=cpatrolm&arcade_only=0&autosearch=1

p.s. I used your image - much better than mine :) thanks

[3Draco]

@KisnardOnline i hope i did it right

[3Draco]

Made an update for Sinden system.png - better color

[KisnardOnline]

@3Draco These ones don't exist either and could use your touch!

Game Boy Advance Video
Game Boy Advance e-Reader

[3Draco]

@kcoconnor76
never heard of this Game Boy Advance Video, Game Boy Advance e-Reader
will we need a complet set or just the name?

[kcoconnor76]

@3Draco I think a complete set. There is a fairly limited game set for each.

[kcoconnor76]

@3Draco I can supply a list of the games for each system for screenshots. I might even be able to get some screenshots. I'll have to check on that.

Getting some screenshots from you would be great and makes it easier.
