[quote=3402]Change PIL to Image in scraper.py [2] and resize works again.[/quote]

Was this a type-o? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

EDIT: OK I miss read this solution. The author changed it to PIL from Image to accommodate differnt platforms, which is what is causing our error.

By changing it BACK to Image (as detailed above) the problem is solved. Sorry for my lack of reading comprehension.

I had trouble with a large file and found that 590×393 worked perfectly.

Thought it might be helpful to follow up on my own issue here…

Yes, the location has apparently changed. I spent quite a bit of time tooling around and eventually downloaded a splashscreen.list file from the pi via winscp. When you open this file in notepad, it references the location of the splashscreen, which was here: “/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/splashscreens/retropieproject/splashscreen.png”

However, there was a larger issue, my file size (get it, wicked pun). When I built my png file, it ended up being huge, somewhere in the 2000×1000 range which also made the file size pretty jumbo too. This makes me wonder if uploading to the root works, but my file was too large, but I don’t think so.

Anyway, I uploaded to the location above, and it didn’t work, in fact it just dropped right into emustation. I grabbed the size from the default image, 590 x 393 which brought the size down to under 200k and uploaded again, wala, it works like a charm. So two points here…

File size: 590×393
Location: “/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/splashscreens/retropieproject/splashscreen.png”

It sounds like manually scrapping each or manually resizing each (out side es-scrapper – using photoshop or paint) is viable, but this is a maintained project so there should be a fix at some point sooner than later.

I plan to just sit tight and wait for the author to check out the problem (it might not hurt to reach out to him via git and let him know there is a issue – he may not be aware). I took this opportunity to clean up my roms and copy of a fresh list. I’m going to keep an eye on the git page and watch for an update. If I don’t see a new release in the next few weeks, I’ll go the manual route.

any suggestions on image size?

[doc-thirst]

Yep, that’s what I get too. It appears to happen on every rom, but several do have art once it’s finished, granted it’s hit or miss on how big it is, but it’s art none the less.

[doc-thirst]

Humm, hopefully that’s the case, I’m not sure what options I have as a end-user if it’s not. Are there are permission issues I might take a look at?
