Yes, again I do not know, whether paths have changed in 3.0 beta2. It might be somewhere in home/pi or opt now. But in 2.6 it is, like es_systems.cfg:
/etc/emulationstation/

The subfolder “themes” contains “simple” theme with all emulation systems, more than actually available on retropie. So I only changed the ones I actually use. (If you are using another theme, then you’d have to look inside those xml-files to find out which file is referenced as background.)

Each System contains a folder “art” with the relevant image, mostly it is called *_blur.
/etc/emulationstation/themes/simple/pcengine/art/tg16_art_blur.jpg
They are in resolution 1280×720, and reducing them to 640×320 reduces the pixels by 75%.

Now a nice linux command for imagemagick would be handy, to convert all images at once in those folders – but unfortunately I can not provide such. Instead I copied the files via SCP to my Windows+Gimp and did it manually. For 25+ systems that is probably not an elegant way.

I really hope that helps, good luck :)
