Hey @Rookervik, I love your System Splashscreens. I just have a request if at all possible? I am currently using your splash screens on my RetroPie set up on my CRT TV. Upon doing this though I have noticed a couple of things:

The aspect ratio doesn't look awesome on a CRT TV (I am guessing they are 16:9?)
I have also noticed, not all the images are a true black colour (000000), some are slightly off true black (0707070) [something like that]. This is especially noticeable because of the aspect ratio.

I am simply wondering two things really.
One, might you be able to do an updated bunch with the true black background, and also have the option of 4:3?
or two, might you be able to privately share some of the assets and I can do it, with giving you of course all due credit to your own creation?

I realise its a bit of a long shot as I know so many people abuse copyrighted material and just pretend everything is their own.
I would be happy to do the leg work and even then send them to you to release if you wanted? or I could just keep it to myself if that's also what you wanted?

I would greatly appreciate if you could at least think about it 😂

Regardless though, thanks for the work in this, and the pixel theme you also made, they all look awesome

Sorry, one more thing also. How do I get rid of the ‘zooming animation’ when selecting a game to play? I would prefer maybe a fade to black?

I need to go back and just open up all my themes to everyone. I never even released Pixel 2 but I use it on all my Pi's. LOL.

We used to have a script that would allow you to create a runcommand splash screen from anyones' theme. I might have had to fix my xml to get it to work.

I'll take a look soon and see what is needed.

@Rookervik Nice to see you back ! Your creativity is beyond spectacular !

@Rookervik

Hmm, Pixel 2? I am intrigued 😊

@meleu said in Runcommand System Splashscreens!:

thanks so much for this!

@7ank0v1c

I'm trying to write me a little app that will create all the splash screens for me. Originally I had these all created and saved as layers in a Photoshop image. I'm too lazy for that now. LOL. But I'm working on it. :D

Rookervik

@7ank0v1c

I might have it. Took a full day messing around with Image Magick to get the code right. These are square with a flat black background. So they should look good no matter what your resolution is. But I need to test them.

7ank0v1c

@Rookervik dude, yes 🙌

This will be awesome. Looking forward to it. Thanks so much 👏 😊

@7ank0v1c

Haha, now I gotta figure out how to update GitHub. I can do arts, but coding stuff and updating a repository is just beyond me. LOL.

Rookervik

So, I don't feel like installing all the GitHub stuff and learning how to use it again. So I just created a new repository and put the zip file in there. You should be able to reach it by this link: https://github.com/ehettervik/projects/tree/main

Then download the "pixelRuncommandSplash.zip" and use it like in the original instructions.

@Rookervik

Sweet, thanks so much. Gonna try this out when I get home later 😊

🙏

@Rookervik

Keep me updated if you update/change anything 😊

They look good from what I can see by looking on phone

@Rookervik These are awesome, just installed on my HDTV setup, and they look awesome. Gonna set up now for my CRT TV also.

I am just wondering, could I perhaps persuade you to add two systems?

I was hoping for the Pokemon Mini and Super Game Boy to possibly have a splash screen?

Folder names would be (Pokemini and SGB)

If not don't worry, but it would be cool to have these as well =D

Thanks so much for these, they make my setup soooo much better =D

Edit: They look awesome on my CRT TV also =D

Also I have noticed one thing, for colecovision, the default folder in configs is actually 'coleco' instead of 'colecovision', just in case you wanted to fix it =D

Rookervik

@7ank0v1c

Yeah, I'll go ahead and add these, and fix the colecovision. I've got some free time, lately. :D

I did create the Light Gun theme for this, since I noticed it didn't have a logo image. So adding a few more isn't a problem.

7ank0v1c

@Rookervik

You are awesome 😊

Sorry could I ask as well, is there any chance of a watara supervision one 😬

Sorry, should be my last requests 😹

I completely forgot I had recently purchased one game and dumped it and now no where dedicated to use it other than possibly here 😹

Regardless again, even if not I love what you done already with these. Thanks soo much 😊

Rookervik

@7ank0v1c

Just to be a turd, if we add the Super Game Boy, then we also need to add the Power Base Converter. :P This allowed Master System games to be played on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive.

And I think there are some others. Like the GBA player for Gamecube. Hehe.

@Rookervik

🤣

To be honest I didn’t even know this one existed 🤔

Does it do anything different at all in emulation like the SBG? (The SBG makes a nice frame when emulated correctly with game boy games 😊 )
