      @najkks Dude, it's ALL in the Wiki.

      People here are really helpful for high-level configuration issues, but when it comes to already documented stuff, you've got to meet us in the middle and do some reading.

        well ive checked it several times.. but it starts with them beeing in already in the config "by pressing tab"

        and because ive downloaded the attract-mode iso, i just need to find out where to put it..

        some say that its possible to run over existing latest retropie - some say i need a brand new version of the retropie that allows attract mode

          oooh.. now i get it, i have to use the new image all over, so its included with attract mode in new "image" :)

          got it! that's the part that i did not get.. should be smooth sailing from here on..

          btw.. is there any sense in using the "artwork versin" of 16gb? my card is about 32gb..

          or will it do with like the latest updated version of about 4gb unzipped?

            could you give a short feedback of your transition to attract mode? how does it run? are you experiencing difficulties?

                    @dankcushions the link was to a YouTube video. It did not contain any roms.

                        @NeonJuggalo the youtube video was about installing the image that was linked in the videos description.

                            People ask that all the time and for some reason nobody (i.e. people in the know) seem to answer....it's like it's a shunned topic for some reason I don't know (neither have I EVER been on a forum that doesn't have a PM/private message option)....just weird all the way around if you ask me ;) ummm, maybe we don't talk about Fight Club? lol

                                    Hey all,

                                      I am familiar with Retropie and Emulationstation, but i have only recently discovered ATTRACT MODE.  I have to say, it's absolutely amazing.  
                                    
                                      I have a question, though...  I downloaded an image for my RPI3, and the attract mode and everything is working - the wheels, the roms, etc...  On the very main screen where you scroll through the wheel of your available emulators, the artwork shows a cartoon girl with an Atari symbol on her clothing, and it says "New Retro Arcade Neon" on the top.  What is this particulat artwork placeholder called?  Is this considered the splash screen?
                                    
                                      The reason that I ask is that i'd like to figure out how to swap that for another picture....
                                    

                                    Thanks in advance!

                                        Fair enough. I'm not sure what in the heck happened with the formatting, I was rushing to post as I was leaving for the day.

                                            @Corykrist1 Sorry, I can only support my clean build, not one shipped with roms etc..
                                            You may want to try the Attract Mode shipped with RetroPie now in the experimental section.

                                            Please read the Docs before asking a new question.
