@mitu I actually figured it out late last night. As I was trying every game file I thought that there had to be something wrong with how the images were being called up. I looked again at both my es_systems.cfg & emulators.cfg and realized that I had it pointing to pcengine not pcenginecd. I must have looked at those ten times without realizing my mistake. I knew I was doing something stupid. I guess I really should have stepped away from it for a bit.

@mitu It's enabled with 2 seconds delay. Nevermind i pressed button too quick or something like that. After waiting 1 second it did work. Thanks guys!

@albpara You can try to add an ampersand after the launching line in runcommand omxplayer -b "path/to/video/launching.mp4" > /dev/null &

@mitu Thanks! You saved me a trip down to "where do I begin to investigate" lane ;) It's the behaviour I was expecting and hoping for.

@meleu Doesn't really bother me what you do with them. Also, despite both of you mentioning me, I didn't get any notification.

@andershp You can use the following commands to create a list of your games for a system: cd /path/to/gamelist.xml grep "<name>" gamelist.xml >> roms.txt You can open roms.txt in a text editor and use the Find and Replace tool to replace the <name> and </name> tags with blanks. Then you can copy and paste the contents to a spreadsheet.

I was just checking that out. Pretty cool theme @lilbud!

@meleu said in Extras for RetroPie themes (icons, splashscreens and launching images) | es_theme_extras shell script: The first thing I would change is that backtitle saying "Backtitle", lol Hahaha, you're right! xD But I was waiting because I wanted to know how can I implement RetroPie's variables, for example: $__backtitle or functions, like gitPullOrClone. Do I need to reference other files? See https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh

@red5ive said in ComicBook Theme Launching Images: Can that be done and if so what do I need to do? The splash images are not part of Emulationstation, but part of the launcher - Runcommand. So, unless you find a substitute for it, the answer would be no.

@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.

@simbz23 Check this; it's not original art but really high quality remake of the cabinet artwork. Could be good stuff to base an overlay upon.

@UDb23 thanks for your help i should have followed the first rule of trouble shooting do the simplest thing first it was as simple as renaming the roms to the correct names

Great work! I'll try to install it and maybe adapt it to Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive and Atari 2600. Thanks!

@meleu said in runcommand questions: PSX are the worst offenders They are big ROM files, isn't it? :-) I think If you're using retroachievements it adds an extra time to RetroArch load the game (RetroArch calculates the game's hash and try to find the game in the RetroAchievements server). Ah, this actually probably explains why the black screen became more obvious seemingly out of the blue. I'll try disabling it. Thanks!

@ExarKunIv said in runcommand launching images for ANY theme: not sure if anyone is really working on this anymore Concerning per game launching images work does goes on: check here.

@meleu said in runcommand launching images for Carbon theme: a script to generate launching images for ANY theme. Very cool! I love this idea.
