@Daistaar I'd recommend @Rookervik's launching images as a starting point - https://github.com/ehettervik/es-runcommand-splash.

@cyperghost this is definitively a really good idea to consider for a new feature. I also have been thinking on something like this for controller battery display or other system messages such as "Wifi Connected" or "Controller Connected". As you said, the most common"hack" for this is to use pngview and dispmanx layers to display stuff "on top" of emulationstation. This of course is not very elegant nor very flexible and requires an RPI. The idea you propose would be multiplatform, so definitively worth it. @mitu's ideas are very good too. This idea should be put in a TO-DO list or such. I currently don't have much time but when I have (hopefully soon) I can def help programming ideas like this.

For anyone wondering, I got it working using Raspidmx PNGView: ./pngview -b 0 -l 10000 file.png I set the layer to 10000 so it overlaps EmulationStation as well as RetroArch

@meleu I dont want to change this message to one of mine. I just want to show a on screen message and I saw this yellow message an thought this would do nicely since it is already implemented. But any other easy way to show a on screen message would do also

@zacksika Could be a problem with the source. It happens.

@JPGraphX just go into raspi-config and change the wait for network on boot setting.
