@rbaker yes I read that mate, good advice but the (RetroPi) SD Card is totally unreadable in any OS I put it in 3 different SD card readers the pc does the 'dur doop' noise to signal new hardware detected but nothing, the best I had was 'removable disk' in Windows Explorer show up and I tried to format only to be told 'F is unreadable' I tried ChkDsk in DOS similar outcome ... All a bit brutal mate, time the SD card met the bin, but I would hope to not have to throw away the Pi too

So for anyone interested I made a second iteration of the loading screen (Actually about the 7th but I keep changing it).

Going for that more playful Nintendo feel
