Rook's Collection O' Splash Screens
-
@enderandrew You have to understand what programs deal with what aspect of the system. "RetroPie" isn't a program. It's the entire collection of programs and scripts. EmulationStation doesn't run any games, it is just the launch pad for your collection. ES also has nothing to do with what is displayed when launching a game. Or when booting the system.
For boot splash screens, you can use the randomizer and fill up your splashscreen folder with great art. They will be displayed on boot.
For game-launch splash art, you can only have one image per system. And it is displayed by a script that Jools has written for us. It's not related to ES at all.
Hope that straightens some stuff out.

@kplkeith - Here's Metal Slug for Neo Geo. There's no way I can animate the intro. That's a lot of frames of animation. LOL.
-
@Rookervik awesome nice one, thank th so much .

Internet is super-patchy, today, after the thunder/ice storm last night. Been pretty bored so decided to make a splashscreen or two. Started with Mario Kart - Super Circuit for GBA. Had to draw some extra clouds and Donkey Kong's foot on the sides to make it 16:9.
-
@Rookervik
Great works...maybe your internet should go down more often? j/k ;)
The clouds looks seamless and DK's toes do too! -
Any new suggestions? I'm finding it tough to find new games to make splash screens from. >_<
-
@Rookervik how about one based off the Japanese Breath of the Wild logo
-
@Rookervik
Seaquest (Atari 2600) -
@Rookervik It would be cool if you guys make splashscreens to be shown when the game is loading, (just like the system's launching images). This feature was implemented recently, do you remember?
Maybe some of the already used games could be revisited for this purpose. ;-)
An image for a game series that embraces several games from a serie and its various systems versions would be cool too.
-
@meleu Wow, does SeaQuest even have a title screen? LOL. Would probably need to do the cartridge sticker
-
Getting there. Vector takes a while.
-
Hmm, wonder if this is too plain:
-
Welp, if you're happy with it the way it was, then this is the finalized one. This time with more bubbles!
-
@Rookervik awesome! Thanks!
-
@meleu Nerd, lol. You're welcome.
-
@lilbud Hmm, Breath of the Wild... that's not something you can play on the Pi, yet. LOL
-
@Rookervik Yeah...If I suddenly disappear from the forum around March 3, just know that I am playing BOTW

I have a cool idea for a splash screen, might be really difficult, but could you do a pixel-ized animated version of the GameCube intro and of course instead of it saying Nintendo GameCube you would replace it with "RetroPie" or "RetroPie Game System" and also use this version of the song?
If you cant do it I would understand since you might be busy with more important things.
-
@BennySpaceCore Hmmm, it's not that I don't have the time to make this. I just don't know where to start. LOL. I'd have to animate a box in 3 directions I guess. Then create a game in Construct that would move the box around the logo. I don't even know how to go about it. LOL
-
@Rookervik I found a video of someone who already made a pixel intro for the GameCube, do you think you can maybe replace the Nintendo GameCube part and animate it the same way as it pops up and make it say retro pie? It should be far easier and if you credit them I sure they would be alright with it. Here's the vid
