Another Dynamic Wallpaper Pack for Retroarch WIP

RetroArch

Hello, i want to share a wallpaper pack with you guys.

in some cases i used pictures from european consoles and logos because i like them alot. But i putted in US Variants in “Alternative Wallpaper” Folder as well.

Dont mind the German Language. Its just the setting in Retroarch, everything will be in your language! For Menu-Wallpapers (Main, Settings, Favorites …) you have to set the laguage to english in Retroarch, or you must rename the png-files according to your language. F.e.: with german language: just rename “Settings.png” to “Einstellungen.png” and so on…

Look In-Menu:

1732965586600
17329655866004080×3072 3.45 MB

Look In-Game:

1732965746009
17329657460094080×3072 3.79 MB

i included a “blank” template for the people who want to extend the pack with own cores/systems.

The Pack is based on the work of Kdeizy (Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/mz1zq0/dynamic_wallpapers_google_link_in_comments/?rdt=41333)

Hi thank you for the kind words.

i allready tried making wallpaper for things like history, settings, favorites… but i can not find a way to display them. so i did made a generic background (Background.png), if you set this as a background you get a wallpaper for the non-core-lists. But let me know if you had more infos on that. Its not a big deal to create new ones. i have a long weekend (starting tomorrow) and i am planing to do some of the wallpapers you suggested.

Wow, again thank you for your work and for your quick answers ! For the menus, i just checked on my retroarch, trying a few things, and i realized you just have to name the wallpaper as the menu, for example Main Menu, Settings, Favorites, History, Import Content, Contentless Cores, Explore,… and it works. I just changed all of mine by your template, and it already looks way better. Again, thank you for the new ones you made, i ll be waiting for the next batch :slight_smile:

It’s really Not much Work. I kept the things very easy and simple. This way i can do more stuff when asked for.
