            Some great Splashscreens, both in this thread and the thread for the startup screens too.

            A quick question: I may have overlooked it somewhere, but couldn't seem to find the info on the Wiki: if creating a splash for Runcommand, what size should the canvas be, what resolution, and what would a good 'median' file size be? I'm going to be creating my own as I only run a few systems, but I want to keep them all uniform, so based on the same template. I'm also not fussed about the background image being whichever theme i'm using.

            If anyone has the answer to those I'd appreciate it!

              I would like to know it too but there's no final answer

              In the script I've made to automatically generate launching images based on an emulationstation theme, I used the 1024x576 resolution. But I'm still not sure if it's the best option.

              BTW: we are talking about the script in this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7193/runcommand-launching-images-for-any-theme

                This splashscreens are so cool! But rather than keeping them in your Dropbox, would it be possible to keep them in some public archiving site? Or does it have any license or trademark issue which makes you can't distribute them onto those sites?

                There is totally no offence on my above questions. I really appreciate the incredible artworks and efforts. Many many thanks!

                  Hi,

                  Really nice concept these loadscreens however i have an issue. Not sure if this has been answered in this thread already but once i add these loadscreens i cannot enter the runcommand menu anymore before launch pressing the appropriate button. If i remove the launching.png from the folder i can again entery the runcommand menu with the appropriate button press.

                  Why is this? Is there a fix for this? All the setting are as instructed in the OP of this guide.

                  Thanks

                    @Freakadude : Nevermind. I read that i just need to mash the button more quickly and often for the menu to pop up and sure enough it does.

                      @Freakadude You have to wait until the image is gone, and then you have about 2 seconds to hit the button to enter the runcommand.

                          How do I get the tg16cd image working correctly? It seems to only take the image from the pcengine folder which is set to the regular tg16.
                          I tried copying the pcengine folder and renaming it to tg16cd/pcecd but the system still loads the one in the pcengine folder, i'm a bit of a perfectionist so this is really bothering me lol

                          Thanks for these!

                            I'm not sure what you're doing (might give more information) but the directories should be pce-cd and/or tg-cd to match the theme's standard directories. I think this script looks at the theme's directory structure and matches with the rom's directories.
                            Rom directories "tg16cd" and "pcecd" won't be a match with the theme's directories pce-cd and tg-cd.

                              What script? :-)

                                I was just assuming he was talking about your script ;-)
                                Now after reading @madmodder123 post again, maybe he is just copying the images around lol. Either way he'll get better results if he using pce-cd and tg-cd directory names.

                                    Awesome loading screens. Now I just have to get to installing them.

                                      I have tried all of these but it still loads up the regular tg16 image instead of the tg16cd image

                                        I did some digging and both the Carbon and Pixel themes have a directory named tg-cd but this Pixel Runcommand System Splashcreens uses the directory named tgcd All 3 do have the correct pce-cd directory.

                                        Let's just reinstall it!
                                        I'd recommend that you SSH into your RPi (make sure your are connected to the internet)
                                        https://retropie.org.uk/docs/SSH/

                                        Here is how I installed it from the command prompt:
                                        wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60872572/EmulationStation/Pixel/Pixel_RunCommand_Wallpapers/launching.zip

                                        unzip -o launching.zip -d /opt/retropie/configs/

                                        This should fix the "tg-cd" name
                                        you might have to delete /opt/retropie/configs/tg-cd/ first
                                        rm -r /opt/retropie/configs/tg-cd/
                                        mv /opt/retropie/configs/tgcd/ /opt/retropie/configs/tg-cd/

                                          @Rookervik Looks great, but is there a reason why some have a pure black background, while some have a noisy gray background? (For example, PSX background is black, while NES is gray with pixelated noise)
