@mediamogul As long as you're not on 11.4 it's really easy. If you're on 11.4 it's possible, but you need to jump through some hoops. A 128GB Micro SD card, charging cradle, and USB to 3DS charging cable were the essential accessories for me. I use this thing daily.

@lilbud GBA games seem to be a bit slow for me, but they're playable. NES, GB, GBC, Genesis, MAME2003, most Neo Geo, and most SNES games run really well. I haven't tested much beyond that.

@obsidianspider I'm not using a GBA emulator, I'm using native GBA emulation

@obsidianspider

Do you make use of the 3D yourself? I always hear a ton of people say they turn it off, but from what little I've played first-hand, it seems like it works really well.

[obsidianspider]

@mediamogul I tried it, but either my eyes don't work right, or maybe it's the low light I often play in, but it doesn't seem to work totally correctly for me. I usually leave it off.

Dang, how do you do this?

[lilbud]

@itsnitro Usually with Photoshop. I first have to pick a game or company and search for the font to use. It has to be free because I'm not spending $70 bucks on 1 font file for 1 project. Then I stylize the "Retropie" text in the font so it looks like the logo. The amiibo one was simple. But one like the Sargent Pepper drum head was difficult. With each letter of "Jools" having a different gradient, plus having to curve the text to match the rest of the drum head.

This one took too damn long but here it is.

The japanese text is retro pie instead of one whole word. And I think its correct...paging @FlyingTomahawk

Movie themed.
( I enjoyed that movie btw)

Thoughts?

[UDb23]

@itsnitro Battle Zone alike ?
Very 80's style in any case.

@lilbud Kudos for My Hero Academia. Can I suggest to put all images on Imgur Alubm or Github so they can be easily downloaded. There are too many of them and scrolling for so long is a drag.

TADA!:

That repo hasn't been updated with recent ones. Aren't these lilbuds splashscreens?

[meleu]

@Hex From time to time contributors submit PRs to that repo and @herb_fargus usually merges them.
Not always @lilbud remember to submit his work to the repo and another contributor does it... I submitted some splashscreens made by @Rookervik recently.

Summing up: there's no really uptodate repo with those images, but retropie-splashscreens-extra repo seems to be the best place to look for them.

edit: by the way, you can download every image of the repo using the splashscreen scriptmodule (RetroPie-Setup).
