        @FlyingTomahawk I've fixed the script and now it's able to generate images for the @ruckage 's Famicom-mini theme. You can update the script inside RetroPie-Setup, choosing "Update from binary" option.

        Here's the megadrive launching.png as an example (I think your "hand-made" image looks better, anyway):

        ./generate-launching-images.sh -t famicom-mini --loading-text-color red --press-button-text-color white --system megadrive

        Thanks again for reporting this issue. ;-)

          So how can we go about being able to figure out a way to generate for systems that are not in a theme that we choose? Example is I am going off the Tronky (sp?) theme. It doesn't generate for PCEngineCD, TG16, and TG16CD. Thanks!

                @lilbud the script doesn't apply any blurry effect to the logo. Can you show me some example?

                  @meleu The Megadrive logo itself 0_1489806228199_upload-f66659ef-cbb5-44fa-8139-3a319b5519ff It has a faint, but noticable blur to it.

                    @lilbud oh yeah, I noticed it too. Not sure, but maybe the logo file isn't in svg format.

                      As far I know it happens only with png format logos. SVG shows just fine.

                        So how can we go about being able to figure out a way to generate for systems that are not in a theme that we choose? Example is I am going off the Tronky (sp?) theme. It doesn't generate for PCEngineCD, TG16, and TG16CD. Thanks!

                        I had a similar issues and meleu had me create a symbolic link to pcengine
                        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7193/runcommand-launching-images-for-any-theme/70

                        Something like this:

                        cd /etc/emulationstation/themes/tronkyfran/
                        sudo ln -s pcengine tg16
                        sudo ln -s pcengine pce-cd
                        sudo ln -s pcengine tg-cd
                        

                        Even though this will create a pictures saying "PC Engine" when you launch a TG16 or TG-CD game.

                        Maybe @meleu should put something about this on the first post? ;-)

                          Can anyone check if they can access the launch menu by pushing the A button while the launching.png screen is showing.

                              @FlyingTomahawk It's not always the A button on the controller. It's whatever key is 0 in your config. For me it's the B button, so I changed the text to that. Also you need to press it after the image is gone, it's a very small time limit.

                                      I just do what @herb_fargus mentioned "mash buttons til it works" but sometimes it will put me in where I am choosing which emulator to use and I have to back out one menu.

                                      I think I read somewhere on here that the Runcommand looks for the button pressing either the last millisecond that launching.png is on screen or just right after it goes away.

                                        @backstander I just press it once after the launching screen goes away and it works every time.

                                        4B ~ RPi PSU 5.1V / 3.0A ~ 32GB SanDisk microSD ~ 128GB USB

                                          @FlyingTomahawk After the image is gone you have 2 seconds of black screen where you can press the button 0 and access the runcommand menu. But if you press the button 0 while the image still on screen the image disappears and then you have those 2 seconds to press button 0 and access the runcommand menu.

                                            I couldn't had said it any better! Maybe you should put something about this on the Runcommand Wiki page?
