Rook's Collection O' Splash Screens

[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.

@Rookervik Just the answer I was looking for. Thank you!

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

[Rookervik]

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

[meleu]

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

[lilbud]

@meleu They show up as 1080p for me

[meleu]

@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.

[Rookervik]

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

[SonPluck]

You're awesome, question though, does the splash screen randomizer slow down? because I wan't to do this with all your splash screens

[Rookervik]

@SonPluck Nah, I have all my splashscreens (and movies) in the folder and they play no problem. It's just a script that chooses a random image (or movie) to play at startup. There's really nothing to slow it down. Unless you had tens of thousands of images to choose from. MAYBE it would slow down. But even then, probably not. HAHAHA.

@rookervik Hey there Rook! Love these splashscreens! May I make a request? Could you make a splash screen based off of the original NES Kid Icarus title screen?

[Rookervik]

@hyruleslink Freaking heck yes! Doing this are my favorite thing to do. Haha. Just no one has requests. I'll get on this after I fix a pixel metadata error.

[Hyruleslink]

@rookervik Niiiice!! Thanks man!

[Rookervik]

Kid Icarus, delivered.

@rookervik Woah, that was super fasticus! :D
Thanks for making this splash screen. I will be installing this one when I get home from work later for sure.
