            Sounds very interesting.
            I am not so savvy when it comes to linux stuff and their command stuff. Any installation guide for dummies?
            What files go where and so on...

                @FlyingTomahawk I think this will work for you

                sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev
                git clone https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png.git

                cd raspi2png
                make

                Then it can be called from an ssh session with:
                raspi2png

                    And don't forget that any "extra" tagged images would be on top of video.

                            @lilbud I was testing my tool to generate launching images with the flat theme and noticed that sega32x is using the Nintendo logo. Check it out: https://github.com/lilbud/es-theme-flat/blob/master/sega32x/theme.xml#L20

                            edit: same with the flat-dark theme, look: https://github.com/lilbud/es-theme-flat-dark/blob/master/sega32x/theme.xml#L20

                            edit 2: I've made PRs fixing them.

                              @meleu Thanks, when I made the theme, I made one system, (NES), and copied that to each of the 60 theme folders. So there could be some logos that are not in the right place.

                              How did the images turn out?

                                @lilbud Pretty similar to those generated for the material theme. But I noticed that you used a background color for nes different from the color for other Nintendo systems. I'm not sure if it's intentional, but the generated image for nes isn't that cool...

                                The color for Nintendo systems is ba0001 (as we can see here), but NES is using f20000 (as we can see here).

                                The generated images for gb, gbc, gba and snes are the same:
                                0_1486941377142_launching.png

                                The generated image for nes:
                                0_1486941757514_launching.png

                                Is it really the desired color for NES?

                                    Is that the loading screen once you start the rom?

                                        @lilbud Now a curiosity...

                                        My script gets the font to add the "NOW LOADING" and "PRESS A BUTTON" text from the <textlist> of detailed view, following an hierarchy like this:

                                        <theme>
                                            <view name=detailed>
                                                <textlist name=*ANYTHING*>
                                                    <fontPath>FONT_NAME.TTF</fontPath>
                                        

                                        Your flat.xml file has two entries for this data: here at line 56 and here at line 163. I'm not an expert about ES themes and I don't know if this is a redundancy, but this duplicity was confusing my script.

                                        Thanks to this fact, I fixed my script and made it a little stronger. :-)
