I want to place splashscreens which shows the buttons map compared to the original console after selecting the game but before starting it!

That's a great idea. I might do the same on my setup as well.

Would you mind in sharing your splashes with us?

Awesome idea! I like to see those splashes too.

@BuZz I've updated the wiki accordingly. But I don't know where to host the image, then I'm using this one here in the forum:

I've thought about this a couple weeks ago and this is a great idea! Just need some nice launch button mapping screens!

@Lukszgz the file you wanna change is /opt/retropie/suplementary/runcommand.sh. Look for a line like this one:

fbi -1 -t 2 -noverbose -a "$image" </dev/tty &>/dev/null

Change the -t 2 argument with number of seconds you want. Be aware that any change you make will be lost after an update.

Maybe @BuZz can consider adding this option in the runcommand config scriptmodule (since other users asked about how to do it before).

Thank you so much! it worked like a charm! :)

I had to override the chenges inside the pi, I couldn't do it via SSH. Nevertheless I am extremely grateful!!

EDIT: I just noticed that "Controles" are "Controls" in English. Tomorrow I will modificate it and send again!

I haven't time to work hard on this but will continue creating the splash screens as soon as possible if you like them ;)

@Lukszgz Hey dude, you don't need to change it in the code anymore. Update your retropie setup and you'll get the option to change it using the runcommand config menu.

Cheers.

Bam, and it's done like that! Thanks @meleu !

@Lukszgz They are looking pretty cool! Though I was excepting they are showing the original controller as well as your actual controller with some sort of remapping arrows. Something like this (just a quick paint job as concept):

I think I will put this on my neverending to-do list. It's great for friends coming over who are not familiar with the button mapping. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
