Rook's Collection O' Splash Screens

[Rookervik]

@GameOfSoup If you're wanting to print it out large, I can remake it. I really should start saving all my art. But I have trouble finding things so I often just don't bother saving. Haha.

@Capeman

I am so using the "Winners Don't Do Drugs" one!

I'm using that one right now as well!

[metalfuzzybunny]

@Rookervik It seems that I can't download the Link to the Past Splash Screen. It's giving me a 404 :(

[meleu]

@metalfuzzybunny are you talking about this one?

All the splashscreens are available here: https://github.com/HerbFargus/retropie-splashscreens-extra

And you can easily install them via RetroPie-Setup. ;-)

[metalfuzzybunny]

@meleu but that's not the animated one, right? I want the mp4

[herb_fargus]

@metalfuzzybunny so find the YouTube video and download that

[Rookervik]

Dropbox has changed the way that they allow access to users' shared content. I will have to read up on the changes and update links to the video splash screens. When I have some more days off I will work on this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Rookervik]

Ok, I found that I already have a repository for the splash videos, I just had not uploaded them because of my slow connection. I took the time to upload them and they can be downloaded from: https://github.com/ehettervik/retropie-splash-videos

@Rookervik the turtle one with the pirate jig is my favourite

[Rookervik]

@herb_fargus Haha, that's not even mine. I just made it for Omnija.

[herb_fargus]

@Rookervik doesn't matter. It's still the best. And he seems to have moved on to greener pastures anyhow

Also if it isn't on the repo... You need to add it

[Rookervik]

@herb_fargus I consider Link to the Past the best one. It took me days to program all the events and create the art :D

Anyway, I can't find the Turtle Pi video. I have the game, still. So maybe some day I will re-record it.

For now: added the GBA Bios splash video I never released, and the Raspberry Pi Sonic/Mario mashup. Check the repo for the files.

[herb_fargus]

@Rookervik I might have it somewhere. will check. and yes lttp is pretty good too

[ArcueidLover]

@Rookervik Edit: Nevermind - managed to get them downloaded properly now, sorry for any trouble. ^^;

@Rookervik

You are awesome!
How about a little splashvideo of something in the Bubble Bobble 'esque for the builds based on this game?

[conj]

Outstanding! Loving your work, will definitely be using these in my builds :)

[Rookervik]

@AndersHP Splash videos are considerably more difficult to design as they require me to get in a game-creation program called Construct and actually create a game. Then as the game is playing, I record a video of it for Retropie.

I have time for splash screens, but I don't know if I have the spare time to spend in videos. They often take 3 or 4 days to set up, unfortunately.

[brettoblaster]

Is there a way to have a different splash screen every time I boot up? These are all quite amazing and I would love the option to mix them up and display them at random.

[Rookervik]

@brettoblaster Retropie comes with a wallpaper rotator now. It's in the splash screen section of RetroPie setup. I can't remember exactly the settings. But I figured out how to do it, and I suck at setting things up.
