Accidentally uninstalled default theme on Pi Zero

@BennySpaceCore
I've got a RPi3 and it's nice having an Eithernet port, WiFi, Bluetooth and 4 USBs built-in! I did read that we might see some stripped down RPi3s with no Eithernet and just 1 USB port for a cheaper price maybe coming out this year!Raspberry Pi in 2017

@backstander sweet! I think I'm gonna buy a wifi dongle at Best Buy tonight since I'm too inpatient to wait for one to arrive in the mail. Is there anything I need to setup for that besides connecting to the wifi?
-
@BennySpaceCore
I've never tried using a WiFi dongle but make sure it's compatible with the Raspberry Pi:
http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_AdaptersMaybe print out that list and give it to the Best Buy employee to see if they can find one on that list lol.
Once it's working, there's an easy menu in RetroPie to connect to wireless networks.
-
@backstander alright thanks, ill see what I can find!
-
@backstander went to 3 different places, none had anything compatible. So it's ether I just order one offline or are you willing to spend some more time and probably get frustrated in the process, I'm okay with ether, your time, your choice.

@BennySpaceCore
I'd say order one online and I'll try to help you in the meantimeNow after you've got your USB drive in your Pi, type this to see what's mounted and where:
df -aThLet me know what it says.
-
@backstander alright thanks for the help, will order one today, so I typed in the command and got this
-
@BennySpaceCore Your USB stick is not mounted. It should show up at the bottom under /boot.
-
@columboscoat is there a command that mounts it?
-
-
@backstander so I mounted my USB, I can open up a list of things on it yet it still won't copy the splash screen, haven't tried the loading screen yet but here's my screen
-
@backstander I just tried installing the loading screen launch file, pretty sure it worked, tried to do the splash screen once more and it says
cp: target /retropie/splashscreens is not a directory
Same goes if I capitalize the "R" and the "P"
-
@BennySpaceCore
File names and directory names are case sensitive so it has to be "RetroPie"Also make sure you're using the Tilde key like at the beginning of
~/RetroPie/splashscreens/Type this to copy over the video splashscreen:
cp /media/sda1/retropiepixelsplash.mp4 ~/RetroPie/splashscreens/ -
@backstander alright I think I copied it to the folder, where can I find it in the splash screen menu?
-
@backstander when i go into the menu i cant find the theme
-
@BennySpaceCore
To enable your video splashscreen:
RetroPie -> Splash Screens -> Choose splashscreen -> Own/Extra splashscreens (from /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens) -> retropiepixelsplash.mp4
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/splashscreenTo use the Pixel Theme for EmulationStation:
Start button on your controller -> UI Settings -> Theme Set -> Pixel
After this change you'll probably need to either restart EmulationStation (or your Raspberry Pi)
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/themesThe Pixel Runcommand System Splashscreen should already be working and when you run a game it should show a picture like these for about 2 seconds:

@backstander sorry I ment splash screen, I'll try it again when I'm home
-
@backstander alright now im getting this.
-
@BennySpaceCore
Try this variant:
cp /media/sda1/retropiepixelsplash.mp4 /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/ -
@backstander Worked like a charm, thank you so much, if I ever need help, ill be sure to ask you since you seem to know what your doing.
