@meleu Many thanks, I got it. :)

@Rookervik the download link is not working for me. dropbox says the file cannot be found.
-
@Rookervik maybe a link to the github repository in the OP would avoid all these guys saying the same thing about the broken dropbox link. ;-)
-
@meleu Sorry, I've been extremely busy at work the last month. I might have more free time next week. I've updated the download link to the github repository.
-
Thank you very much for this awesome job man,greetings from Argentina!

@Rookervik I'm working on a tool to automate the installation of some arts, I'm doing my first tests with your pixel-friendly launching images from your github repo. I would like to know if you're OK if I release my tool with the option to download those images from your github repo.
I emphasize: I'm not modifying your amazing artwork. The tool will get the images directly from your repo. One of the benefits is that the tool donwload only the images for the systems that the user has installed (no need to download every single image and use just a few).

Hello everyone!! I have every launching screen working but the one for Steam. Where Im suppose to put the .png file for it? I tried /opt/retropie/configs/steam, /opt/retropie/configs/moonlight, /opt/retropie/configs/ports/steam and moonlight. It endup working with the .png file in /opt/retropie/configs/all but that's not optimal. Any ideas? Thank you!

Users interested in an easy way to install those awesome pixel-theme-friendly launching images shoud take a look in the tool I'm talking about here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9686/rpie-art-easy-way-to-install-art-on-your-retropie
To install the @Rookervik 's launching images you just have to launch the script and select
https://github.com/udb23/rpie-ovl
>>Launching image list
and then check thecontrib/meleu/pixel-launching/*
options. Pretty simple, huh? -
@Rookervik THANKS!! Super awesomess!
-
Guess I need to update these to the new pixel artwork. I'll add that to my list of stuff to do.

I've skimmed through this and other associated posts and can't seem to find an answer, I've created my own "launching" images however they don't seem to fit the screen and I have black borders either side of the the image is there a command I can include in runcommand.sh for fbi that stretches to screen, I've tried both .png and .jpg images with the same result?

I haven't heard of any command to accomplish this.
I assume your using 1080p resolution? Just edit that launching image and resize it to 1920x1080.
-
@backstander spot on dude, is that the required size?
-
@__Scannigan__
is that the required size?
Yeah, a 1080p display (16:9 aspect ratio) = 1920x1080

@backstander ah now I feel silly, cheers dude

@Rookervik would it be possible to persuade you to add a 6-button layout underneath some chosen systems launch screens?
I'm thinking that the launch screen would be perfect to remind you, which buttons are assigned to which places, e.g. X, Y, A and B, and for NeoGeo with only 4 buttons, one could grey out the buttons that aren't in use..?
I'd really love this!
-
@AndersHP That sounds pretty badass, actually. Although some people tune their controllers differently in their own configs... which is the only downfall to this idea. And it's big enough that I probably won't follow it. But dangit, I'd love to see a quick shot of a controller mapper before I start the game. Just for a refresher. I'll seriously think about it. Especially if there's a way to do it "in general" even for people that haxor their controls. LOL
PS, I've already got ideas. Stay tuned. :D
-
@Rookervik NIFTY! Yeah you're right about the mapping cannot be fixed.
The screens are simple jpeg's, right? Could it be possible for you to provide some generic graphics that we can photoshop around with ourselves, to match our button mappings? Or is that solution too lowtech for you? :)Also, I thought about if there's a way to have game-specific launch screens. In the same manner as mentioned above, how cool would it be to have a specific BurgerTime launch screen, that shows where the Pepper buttons are, just to inform AND get the right mood going :)

Yes, we have it!
