      Hello,

      I've created a github repository to host the launching images I've made to complement my Nes-mini theme and thought they should be in a separate topic so that they are easier to find.

      There 3 sets of images in the repository for various aspect ratios (16x9, 4x3, and ntsc). They will be updated whenever new systems are added to the theme itself.

      Download launch images here

          For some reason I can't actually get the launch configurations up by pressing a button when the launch images are displayed.

            Have you read the Retropie wiki regarding Runcommand launch images?

            Once these images are installed, the timing to activate the the runcommand menu differs, in that pressing a button will not register successfully until just after the image has disappeared.

              @ruckage Ah, thanks for that. It took a little while to get the timing down but it's working as expected for me now.

                These look great!

                Though, the famicom and N64 bother me because of how the logo sits partially on the border and on center area and the text at the bottom.

                This is my nitpicky ocd speaking, so... grain of salt needed. Lol

                I may switch to these later.

                  Hi. I made them so the logo is centered vertically within the space above the console icon and the text is centered vertically within the space below the console icon. I personally quite like the way it looks with the logo on the separating line for those systems.

                  In any case, if I changed those systems to alleviate your OCD they wouldn't match with all the other launch images and it would trigger my OCD instead :P

                  Regarding the text at the bottom that says ''press a button to configure launch options", I'm wondering whether to provide another set which doesn't include that line at all as personally I disable the runcommand menu once I've setup everything. I wouldn't want people randomly accessing it anyway - would anyone else find that useful?

                    @ruckage Dear sir, could you add Raspian, Kodi, Rasplex system into your theme? When use your theme, those are filled with black blank. I do not get this problem in Carbon default theme. Thanks. Hope to hear from you asap.

                        Sorry for not replying sooner.

                        Sure, that would be great as it would make it easier for people to install them. They are split into 3 sets for different aspect ratios, not sure if that will be problem or not. Do you need anything else from me in order to add them to rpie-art?

                          Nothing needed. I'll post here when they are ready. ;-)

                            I'd totally dig the loading screen without the text at the bottom,as I also disable runcommand configuration and I've made all my loading screen without that text. Thanks for all your work, @ruckage, it's much appreciated.

                              I used these in my latest build and they're fantastic. Having that ugly grey box taken away and replaced with these makes everything seem so much more elegant. Especially when using the NES Mini theme!

                                  @ruckage maybe you can update the OP with the info that your launching images are installable via rpie-art. ;-)

                                    @ruckage these launch images and your NES Mini theme are so awesome. Do you think you could make launch images for Kodi, Pixel Desktop and a generic catch all launch image? Thanks for all your work.

                                      Old topic, sorry, but still rocks :-)
                                      I'd like to make some modifications, like translating all images text.
                                      @ruckage Is there any source files, PSD or similar I dould use?
                                      Thank you very much
