Rook's Collection O' Splash Screens

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.

@Rookervik

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

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.

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.

Bored on Monday. Decided to do Contra for NES. Not sure if anyone else did it. Tried a forum search but didn't find anything. Anyway, here it is.

@Rookervik you're a beast

Felt like doing a Game Boy Color splash screen. The one, and only, Zelda I've ever beat fairly. Legend of Zelda DX for GBC.

Now with added clouds and widescreen. What?! Yes, I know. :D

@Rookervik The Zelda and the Contra splashscreens above are 640x360. Is it intentional?

lilbud

@meleu They show up as 1080p for me

@lilbud oh! maybe imgur does some adjustments to the dimensions when accessing from a mobile device.
Thanks

And a little more Game Boy Color love... Always wanted to do Shantae. And now I have. Scary part? Drawing her hair and arm were the easiest parts by far.

Ok, this took maximum effort. Not only did I have to copy the font style, I had to copy the shading for the embossed edges of the font. Exhausting, but fun! Very pleased. :D
