Launch custom images on boot of games

[IanDaemon]

@Krakatoa Can't you use -onstart.sh and -onend.sh?

[Krakatoa]

@IanDaemon Maybe. though that's probably beyond my skills. Does anyone know what folders the runcommand looks for when it runs lunch menu art?

"Launch Menu Art: If enabled, any scraped box art you have for a game will show up as a splashscreen while your game loads up."

@Krakatoa Depending on where you have the system save it could be \\THINCOCKTAIL\roms\arcade\media\screenshots where the machine is named "THINCOCKTAIL" and the system is "arcade".

@IanDaemon Is that path hardcoded? My path to the images are

\\retropie\roms\atomiswave\media\images\game.png

[IanDaemon]

@Krakatoa Hmm,
I create custom loading images in Photoshop and put them in
\\[machine]\roms\\[system]\images\\[game]-launching.png.

I find scraped images (from Skyscraper) in
\\[machine]\roms\\[system]\media\screenshots\\[game].png
and
\\[machine]\roms\\[system]\media\marquees\\[game].png.

@IanDaemon that’s why I am looking for the path as each scraper uses different folders. I use both AARM and Skraper https://www.skraper.net/ For scraping. I’m planning on going fully to Skraper if I can get these images loading on boot.

[IanDaemon]

On my system Skraper and Skyscraper both save in the same folder.
(However I did select "use rom folder for scraped images" somewhere so that may be having an effect.)

@Krakatoa Changing one uniform underscore in thousands of files is no hassle at all with Bulk Rename Utility. Check out my posts here.

@IanDaemon thanks. I’ll try that.

@WeirdH I fixed that issue by using brackets around the code.
