Hi @3Draco
You are doing a superb job. Currently we are working on a project "Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone" to easily add MAME systems to Retropie. We have an official cygnus blue flames theme, we asked other people who work on other themes to help us cover these systems (see here). If you have time, can you look at the list of systems on cygnus blue flames and get inspired by it to complete yours, in this way, there would be two complete themes to cover most of MAME systems and more on Retropie. -
Thanks. I'll definitely check that out! I only have a little more time right now because I'm sick. But I'm sure I'll find time for such a project while I'm at work. I had already looked at the script beforehand and thought I had to take a closer look at it to get even more systems up and running easily.
Sorry for my short answers but I'm not a good writer and English is not my first language ;-) -

@3Draco You Have BLOWN Me Away!!!!! What an incredible job!

The PICO-8 has been added to RetroArch 1.13.0. I just added it to my RetroPie. A theme for that one would be great! If you haven't added that system it is similar to TIC-80 or WASM-4.

@3Draco Well done!

I'm just thinking about creating loading pictures like this. I'm not quite sure yet if I should do that, but I'm also considering creating my own comic theme that would look like the loading screens. However, I'm not good at scripts, maybe I'll find someone who can help me there.
The loading pictures are not yet perfect, just a first idea.

@3Draco
These look quite nice. Having more interesting launching images does add polish to the overall feel. I do like these much better than the script generated ones that can be created for the comic book theme.Also thought I'd share the launching images i've been using in case anyone else is interested:

I experimented with your idea.
It's possible to add a runcommand-onstart.sh script in :
/opt/retropie/configs/allThis runcommand-onstart.sh worked for me (make sure you install feh) :
# make sure feh is installed => sudo apt-get install feh # $1 is the systemname, so for, for example, psx it becomes ..../psx/psx-onstart.png # it only runs if it can find the onstart picture # if you need somehow to get to the retropie-launch-screen then press the escape key when the picture appears [[ -f /etc/emulationstation/themes/es-theme-ComicBook/$1/$1-onstart.png ]] && \ feh -F -N -Z -Y -q /etc/emulationstation/themes/es-theme-ComicBook/$1/$1-onstart.png &

@koda9901 thank you! I didn't even know that there were already loading images for the theme -> https://github.com/TMNTturtleguy/ComicBook-Theme-Launch-Images-for-Retropie

@Folly
very cool I did not know that you can run a script at the start. What I still don't understand is what is the difference between your script and including launching.png in the individual system configs. -

If that works you probably don't even need a script.Just tested including launching.png in the individual system configs and it looks the same as using the runcommand-onstart.sh solution.
With the the runcommand-onstart.sh solution you can do more things, like playing a video when starting the game, for example.
But for your needs your solution is good enough !
