      When having launching images both in /opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEM_NAME/launching.png and $HOME/RetroPie/roms/SYSTEM_NAME/images/RomName-launching.png, which one has priority?

      And, if this priority exists, where can it be changed?

      Thanks!

        @hiulit Not a direct solution.
        Do you consider to compare those two files?
        Filedate? Filesize? Checksum?

          @hiulit The priority is set in the runcommand.sh: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh#L916.
          It looks first for the image specific to the ROM, then in the system config folder. It's the natural choice, since it allows you to have a general launching image (per system) and the ability to override it per-ROM.

            @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.
