      I need to go back and just open up all my themes to everyone. I never even released Pixel 2 but I use it on all my Pi's. LOL.

      We used to have a script that would allow you to create a runcommand splash screen from anyones' theme. I might have had to fix my xml to get it to work.

      I'll take a look soon and see what is needed.

              I'm trying to write me a little app that will create all the splash screens for me. Originally I had these all created and saved as layers in a Photoshop image. I'm too lazy for that now. LOL. But I'm working on it. :D

                I might have it. Took a full day messing around with Image Magick to get the code right. These are square with a flat black background. So they should look good no matter what your resolution is. But I need to test them.

                    Haha, now I gotta figure out how to update GitHub. I can do arts, but coding stuff and updating a repository is just beyond me. LOL.

                      So, I don't feel like installing all the GitHub stuff and learning how to use it again. So I just created a new repository and put the zip file in there. You should be able to reach it by this link: https://github.com/ehettervik/projects/tree/main

                      Then download the "pixelRuncommandSplash.zip" and use it like in the original instructions.

                          Keep me updated if you update/change anything 😊

                          They look good from what I can see by looking on phone

                            @Rookervik These are awesome, just installed on my HDTV setup, and they look awesome. Gonna set up now for my CRT TV also.

                            I am just wondering, could I perhaps persuade you to add two systems?

                            I was hoping for the Pokemon Mini and Super Game Boy to possibly have a splash screen?

                            Folder names would be (Pokemini and SGB)

                            If not don't worry, but it would be cool to have these as well =D

                            Thanks so much for these, they make my setup soooo much better =D

                            Edit: They look awesome on my CRT TV also =D

                            Also I have noticed one thing, for colecovision, the default folder in configs is actually 'coleco' instead of 'colecovision', just in case you wanted to fix it =D

                              Yeah, I'll go ahead and add these, and fix the colecovision. I've got some free time, lately. :D

                              I did create the Light Gun theme for this, since I noticed it didn't have a logo image. So adding a few more isn't a problem.

                                You are awesome 😊

                                Sorry could I ask as well, is there any chance of a watara supervision one 😬

                                Sorry, should be my last requests 😹

                                I completely forgot I had recently purchased one game and dumped it and now no where dedicated to use it other than possibly here 😹

                                Regardless again, even if not I love what you done already with these. Thanks soo much 😊

                                  Just to be a turd, if we add the Super Game Boy, then we also need to add the Power Base Converter. :P This allowed Master System games to be played on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive.

                                  2ca07716-dd56-43ff-a473-39ded700a7d1-image.png

                                  And I think there are some others. Like the GBA player for Gamecube. Hehe.

                                    To be honest I didn’t even know this one existed πŸ€”

                                    Does it do anything different at all in emulation like the SBG? (The SBG makes a nice frame when emulated correctly with game boy games 😊 )

                                      You're quite correct that the Super Game Boy is special because some Game Boy games will show a pretty border when used with the Super Game Boy.

                                      As far as I know, no Master System games show anything special since they use the same resolution as the Megadrive.

                                      I actually own the GBA Player for the Gamecube, and a Gamecube but I only have one GBA game. I have no idea what happened to my GBA games. So I can't say if GBA games on the GBA Player have anything special when used on the Gamecube.

                                      I am almost done with the Super Game Boy art.

                                        It looks great, wow 🀩 😊

                                        Also… I just realised there are a US and a PAL/japanese version πŸ™ˆ

                                        I used to own a GB Player long time ago, but can’t remember if it did a boarder or not. I seem to remember it might of? But I can’t truly remember πŸ€”

                                          I got the images created, but I made the Super Game Boy graphics a little too large. I'm going to have to re-size either the logo or the console.

                                          d6869135-1180-4f50-873e-1516e98f33fa-image.png

                                          Pokemon Mini came out ok though.
