      @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->

      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. :-)

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

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

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

              alt textalt text

              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 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!

                    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.

                      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.

                        @Rookervik The ports I have here are all at/opt/retropie/configs/ports/. Like this:

                        $ ls -l /opt/retropie/configs/ports/
                        total 28
                        drwxr-xr-x 3 pi pi 4096 Out  6 14:23 cavestory
                        drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Out  2 07:07 doom
                        drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Out  1 17:33 duke3d
                        -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 2193 Out 13 02:27 launching.png
                        drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Out  2 07:08 quake
                        drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Out  1 17:34 quake3
                        drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Out  2 07:09 smw
                        

                        BUT I'm not sure if every port is a subdirectory of .../configs/ports.

                        Keep in mind that currently to get the launching image shown for ports it needs a workaround, like @Colossus did above. So my suggestion is to name the images with the name of the port and put them in only one directory (let's say ports/launching-images/), and then the user rename the files he/she wants.

                          @meleu Yeah, I referenced the ports section of the wiki to get the directory names I could find. Some seem wrong? Like CaveStory should be cavestory (makes a difference, stupid linux) And some like Minecraft and such are not even in the ports folder. Perhaps if this is popular, we can work on a workaround or something. But at least there are the pictures for people to use if they want. :D

                            Yeah...the Minecraft thing was kinda my fault, as I changed the module so that it installs the version from the Raspbian repositories (a.k.a. the packaged version)... Sorry about that.

                            Don't sweat it.
                            When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

                                I have modified runcommand so it will look in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/NAME/, then /opt/retropie/configs/ports/ for a ports launching image so you can have a single launching image or have one per port if you really want.

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

                                    I have been thinking of an international IRL meetup for some time now...

                                    If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.
