      it can hide them loading until they display something. once they are doing framebuffer/dispmanx output it will render in front of the launch art.

        Thank you! Very cool!

        But i have a little problem with the "Ports"-screen. It's never shown. Is this normal?

        In ports i have Descent, Descent 2, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake and Quake 3 Arena. Every port has a downloaded image but art is disabled. launching.png is present in /opt/retropie/configs/ports

        The splashscreens for the other systems work fine and looks cool.

        My settings:
        Launch menu: enabled
        Launch menu art: disabled

        RetroPie 4.0.4
        Pi 3

                @Rion Eur and Jap SNES is so much prettier than the US one. I'm working on it. Will have to add it to Pixel as well.

                  I think you already made it for pixel. I just change the console.png from the sfc folder when i install your pixel theme.

                  The text for Super Nintendo is the same as the US one.

                  Basically just replace the console and add the sfc version. The text is the same.

                  In pixel theme that is.

                      @Rion Check-check. EU SNES is now added to the SNES folder of configs. You'll have to rename them just as you would with Genesis/Megadrive. Use the original download link to get the updated zip file.

                      Also updated Pixel to 1.91 with the SNES addition. Pixel Post->

                        @BuZz I suppose if we were to decide on an official date for the birth of RetroPie I'd say July 22, 2012 based on the initial commit to github/blog post

                              @Rion It's bad when I've made so many systems that I lose track of what I did and didn't do. >_< RetroPie is too big.

                                I've been playing Cave Story a lot recently and didn't noticed it until reading your post. The problem is that runcommand take the game name as the "system". With my example, it searches for the launching image at /opt/retropie/configs/cavestory/ and, obviously, doesn't find the file.

                                So, (currently) the runcommand launching images doesn't work for ports.

                                  @meleu : That's the solution! Thank you! I created a folder for every port in /opt/retropie/configs (/descent1|descent2|doom|duke3d|quake|quake3), adding launching.png and it works! Coooooool ...

                                      @Colossus a symbolic link in every one of these created directories pointing to ../ports/launching.png should save some kilobytes. :-)

                                        @meleu @Colossus or you could have a unique and different splashscreen for each port :-)

                                            I've already made images for all the ports. I don't think they were ever added to the distro like the RetroPie menu was. I even made a gamelist for them with images that can be linked in the roms folder.
