        You could always use google chrome, right-click and do "save image as." then you could do some stuff and manually add it.

        I'll post instructions tomorrow.

                Turns out, there was a formatting error in the name of the splashscreen! (oops.)

                I looked a while back and the name was: Splashscreen.png\

                I removed the backslash and changed the name to: splash.png and it worked!

                  @IceChes1 You should submit a pull request to retro pie on github for this.

                  You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

                      @IceChes1 no need to be mean. If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all and keep scrolling.

                          @IceChes1 I think it looks great! I would definitely use it.

                            @Unknown Thanks so much! It only took like 20 minutes to put together on a website called Canva. It's really handy if you want to make something like it.

                              Oh my lord, I am such a noob!

                              Sorry mate, thought someone was trolling you. Trying to defend you.

                              I'll maybe read posts a bit better in future. It's been a long day at work....
