Runcommand System Splashscreens!

[Rookervik]

@Andrewpk200 If it's fixed after an update, it must mean Buzz found the error and took care of it already. I haven't updated to the absolute newest. I like to wait a while (several versions) before I update things.

@Rookervik I'm I daring too much... asking if it could be possible to implement runcommand function for PER GAME launch screens ?
I mean just the function, not asking to create the actual screens.

@UDb23 I think it would be pretty simple. Maybe only one line of code on runcommand.sh. But a naming convention is needed.

My suggestion is RetroPie/roms/SYSTEM/images/RomName-lanching.png (or .jpg).

[UDb23]

@meleu Sure. I totally agree.

[meleu]

@UDb23 It's done. The logic is the same of the system launching images (scraped image takes precedence if "Launch menu art" is on). Just update your RetroPie-Setup script / runcommand and then place the images with the naming convention we talked above. ;-)

I ended up making symbolic links to the cool game related splashscreens. Example, I made symbolic links for all my megaman games pointing to this image:

Pretty cool, huh?! :-)

@meleu Thanks !!!

How do you use the pce-cd loading screen? I have manually added pce-cd to the default carbon theme, which supports it. The problem is, pce-cd games use pcengine to load, so the pcengine loading screen is used. No big deal, just wondering if there was a way.

Hey @Rookervik ,

Can you make runcommand splashscreens for the 3 GameMaker games (Maldita Castilla, Super Crate Box, and They Need to be Fed)?

[lilbud]

@RetroPieNerd Here you go.

[Rookervik]

@lilbud Thanks rook. :P

Actually I think I have a repo for these. And buzz made a change so that ports work. I'll have to chat with him tomorrow and get the correct directory structure. Then I can add these. But I will do them like the other run command screens. And probably fix Kodi. It looks turrible.

@lilbud Awesome! Thanks! I'll try them when I get home right away!

[Rookervik]

Ok, got the titles pixelized and now just need the directory structure.

[hiulit]

@Rookervik Ohhh!! Much better! ;) Thanks

[PokeEngineer]

@Rookervik

Directory Structure:

Maldita Castilla = /opt/retropie/configs/ports/MalditaCastilla
Super Crate Box = /opt/retropie/configs/ports/SuperCrateBox
They Need To Be Fed = /opt/retropie/configs/ports/TheyNeedToBeFed

@BuZz
Do you know what folder structure I'd use for the game-maker game splash screens? I have no idea where to add them in the repository. Everything else goes in ...configs/<system>/launching.png

[Rookervik]

@RetroPieNerd Thank you very much. :D

[Rookervik]

@RetroPieNerd The capitals are correct? They aren't all lower-case?

[Rookervik]

Looks like you can grab the screens from this link.

I don't know if there's a downloader on the retropie menu. As far as I know you just download all of this as a zip. Which can be done, here. LOL. Green button, click "Clone or Download" and download it wherever it is you download stuff.

Dropbox is changing the public folder so I won't upload anything there until that's all settled down.

@Rookervik

Yes I am sure, I checked it in the script to install them.

@Rookervik

You could just directly clone it to the Raspberry Pi in the file manager for now...
