          @meleu that simple theme set of screens looks awesome. It would be nice to have established packs that people could snag as well as learning all the scripting. so similar to being able to download the pixel pack. just a thought. your work is awesome!

            @fnkngrv Thanks!

            The idea is to provide several image options and let the user choose the one that pleases him the most.

            There's a frontend to the script about to be part of RetroPie-Setup (this Pull Request here). If it's approved, it will be much easier to the users than downloading packs and placing files in the right folders...

              Woohool!!! It's part of RetroPie-Setup now!
              You just have to update RetroPie-Setup scripts and then "Manage Packages" >> "Manage experimental packages" >> "launchingimages" >> "Install from binary"

              After the installation, the option "launchingimages" will be available at RetroPie-Setup >> "Configuration / tools" >> "launchingimages". Just follow the instructions on screen. ;-)

                  Congratulations!
                  Really glad that your work was accepted by the RetroPie team and put into core.
                  That will motivate others to work on their projects with the hope and chance that their work might make it into core too.
                  Great job RetroPie team! Thx

                      What do we have to do to get now the official version? Do I need to uninstall the previous stuff before updating the RetroPie script or can I just update without worries?

                        @FlyingTomahawk You should be able to update the retropie script and then update all packages to see the new features.

                          I have that loading feature already installed following the instructions in this thread, first post. I was just wondering if I need to remove the existing custom loading script first before updating the RetroPie script. Or can I just update the RetroPie script without getting into any trouble with the already installed loading script. Make sense?

                            @FlyingTomahawk do exactly what I said above. There's no need to Update all packages, just the RetroPie-Setup script.

                            The script you installed before will be completely ignored and you can safely remove it.

                              I have a problem to generate images:

                              sudo ./generate-launching-images.sh -t carbon
                              

                              At every system I get problems like these:

                              convert: delegate failed `"rsvg-convert" -o "%o" "%i"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1310.
                              convert: unable to open image `/tmp/magick-1523ygaIZPJaSrUD': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2712.

                              What is my mistake?

                              Linux is like wigwam: no Gates, no Windows and Apache inside.

                                @meleu Ran the script. Images are working (and are awesome), but I'm unable to access the launch options after a game is booted now. Checked the wiki didn't see anything there that might interfere. Any thoughts? What xml/cfg file do I need to look into?

                                  @Swampy install the tool using the RetroPie-Setup and try again (I've updated the first post with this info). Let me know if you have problems.

                                    @hooperre press the button 0 several times while the image is shown. Twice should be enough, but I recommend several times to assure. :-)

                                      @meleu First I did it with RetroPie-Setup, how you explained above.
                                      The results were the same.
                                      I also repeated all steps.

                                      Always the same errors.

                                        @Swampy try to execute it:

                                        sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends librsvg2-bin
                                        

                                        And then try again.

                                        And please, give details about your system so I can fix the dependencies on the scripts.

                                          generate images for pixel, got this sort of error:

                                          i already had some launching images installed. eg:

                                          user 'pi' owns them, though.

                                          also, no way to exit the preview slideshow?

                                            @meleu Out of 20 attempts I was able to get into it twice and only if I mash buttons (may have changed from the square button to the x button). Something has changed for sure. Any thoughts on what config file I need to dig into?

                                            Edit: Okay so it actually works if I press button 0 AFTER the launching screen has disappeared between then and when the ROM actually loads.
