I like displyaing a picture of the game that was choose, before or while loading the emulator.
How can I do that ? what will be the best way ?

You’d have to custom code a call to omxplayer for each game in the runcommand menu. Not worth the effort imo as that’s what the scraper is for.

ok, thnx.
i will not use 1000 of games, only my favorite game for each system.
And for each of them i will create such a gameboot-screen JPG with the used keyes.
I’m not so familiar with coding and that my problem. i have no idea how this will could work. i thought i could use fbi like this:

fbi --noverbose  /opt/retropie/supplementary/gamebootpix/[ROMNAME].jpg  &
sleep 10
kill $!

where is the right place in the runcommand.sh and how can i use the variables of the rom name to build the picturename ?

Can someone help me?
