Splashscreens
-
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?
-
@SnipedintheHead I updated the runcommand wiki detailing the conditions to show the launching art:

Thanks! That as a big help.
-
This had to be done. All aboard the Wentz-Wagon
E-A-G-L-E-S!

@meleu
New runcommand image
-
@lilbud Nice and sharp! I really like this. So you can have a different image for each system on the run command now?
-
@Rookervik we did it because of you man!! you started a topic about this and then it was implemented. I updated the runcommand wiki with the details:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Runcommand#adding-custom-launching-images@lilbud really nice! I think I'll see this image frequently on the weekends... :-)
-
@meleu Ooh nice. I'll have to update my setup script and make sure runcommand is updated. This sounds really neat!
I have a bunch of wallpapers I made some years ago that I haven't really been able to use. They would be neat here. An example of GameGear would be this:
-
Woops, don't run the setup script updater if you're on pipplware. >.< Format time.
