Emulationstation splash.svg how is it created?

[wicketewoks]

Hello, I have tried based on this thread:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28931/emulationstation-splash-svg?_=1683108948970
, I look at the splash.svg file and base it on its resolution (720x720), but it gives me an error parsing svg image , I try to create a file with gimp s (jpeg) because I use mac, and then on online conversion pages from jpg to svg , then I upload it with cyberduck where indicated but it gives me that error

Upload your .svg file somewhere so we can take a look. EmulationStation may not support all .svg features - it uses nanosvg for SVG reading and display.

@mitu
I try to upload the image and the page does not allow me:

[mitu]

@wicketewoks Yes, that's why I said somewhere, the forum doesn't allow .svg files as inline attachments.
You can also open it in a text editor and post the contents on pastebin.com (if the resulting text is not too large).

@mitu
If it's big I'll try to upload it to uptobox paste the link

I also don't know why the images with color when passing the jpg o png to svg lose it, the svg should be like the following image:

Your SVG file is all white and it works on my Pi3B

[wicketewoks]

@fdr4prez

Yes, and I don't know why it transforms it like this, and I don't know why it doesn't load for me, it gives me a parse error

[mitu]

The splash works, but it may not be showing since it's all black. If I color it, it shows fine:

You need a better converter for the image.

@mitu

Thanks, I'm calmer, now I know that the problem is converting the image to svg, I'll look for a program for Mac

[mitu]

Use Inkscape, it should be able to convert it (look it up in the docs), though I think you'll need to change the font's color to show up on the splash background

@mitu
thank you very much, i will

edit : I have tried to make another one to Inkscape, it no longer gives me an error but I only see the bar loading the different emulators....

edit2:
I was testing on my raspberry pi 3b+ and now on my raspberry pi 4 and it's not that the image looks dark or that it's barely visible, it's simply that there is no image, the correct address is this: /opt/retropie/configs/all/ emulationstation/resources/ where you had to create resources if they didn't exist?

the image provided in the other thread if I put it does not look like this

not with white background but dark

The location you mentioned above is the one from the user's folder, where you can copy your files to override the built-in resources. The default resource files are in program installation folder (/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/dev/resources/).

I don't have a "dev" subfolder on my pi.

Mine goes like this:
/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/resources/

Right, the path is indeed /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/resources/. I have the es-dev module installed and the path I copied is a bit different, I forgot to erase properly the dev suffix.

@mitu
Here I put an image of how it looks on both raspberrypi

edit:
@mitu @fdr4prez
I have tried the file that I send you through uptobox that at least it looks dark, or in black and white, but you can see it, but not even that for me

with which I do not get anything clear, if you use Inkscape, when saving as svg what characteristics do you mark to save

I've used the instructions from this page to import the PNG file (with colors) and create a SVG from it.

@mitu
Thanks I'll read it because you're lost

@mitu

Thank you, I have solved it, I have reinstalled emulationstation and it has been solved, I had to do it to both raspberrypi, by the way, it is a pity that I lose a lot of colors ....
