Runcommand System Splashscreens!

Rion

Would you mind adding the Europe/Japanese version of snes to?

@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

Sounds good to me.

@BuZz I'm already planning the party. I bring the cake you bring the beer

@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.

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

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.

Thank you!
And good solution about differen names both in Pixel and Runcommand splashscreens. :)

@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 ...

Oh you don't say.. God find!

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

backstander

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

meleu

@backstander I don't have talent with graphics software. I'm already very happy with what Master Rookervik made for us. :-)

Rookervik

@meleu Aww man, now people want individual port splash screens? Hahaha, like this?

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.

@Rookervik that is awesome!

meleu

@Rookervik oh man! How can I sleep knowing I have such big debt with you?!

I'm very very grateful. The Cave Story image is awesome!

Rookervik

Need some brave person to go get me the exact directory names for every port RetroPie has. Adventure Game Studio, LinCity, Warcraft, ev-a-ree-thang. :P

Got these so far, but I don't know if the directory structure is correct.

Rookervik

If you want to try these out and see if the folder names are correct... or try changing folder names until they work... download this. Once I have all the correct folder names, I can add it all to the same big fat download.

I just used the Ports images I created some months ago. Around the same time we updated the RetroPie menu with icons. Used 8-bit PNG to save space and fit with the whole Pixel theme.
