MiSTer Wallpapers

[held]

I don't think so, just lots posted here to grab and use, some nice stuff posted through this thread.

Too bad, I wish they would add them to update all. I mean it updates all right

EDIT:

Extracted 111 wallpapers / 99MB from this thread and bundled them.
I probably missed a few and there might be an avatar or two floating in there:

MiSTer Wallpaper Pack 1.0

[Wave]

Wallpaper's really taste-dependent, everyone's varies. Wallpaper suitability also varies by the resolution a person runs their MiSTer at, and can take significant storage space if nice clean PNGs are used.

That said, the MiSTer's built-in wallpaper choices are spartan to the extreme. Maybe a small (relatively neutral in content?) wallpaper starter pack+ could be nice to have available.

The revamped MiSTer Downloader script lets you easily add additional archives to sync to; projects like MiSTer BGM and Super Attract Mode make use of this to allow effortless in-place updates. Someone could create a nice wallpaper project on Github and allow users to automatically pull any updates in a similar fashion.

I actually made a collection of wallpapers in three resolutions (1080p, iPad, some other res) some time ago that I've been meaning to share here but haven't gotten around to packaging it yet. (Also the HDD it was on just died Saturday but that's another story, lol.)

Great work honestly! Makes my life a lot easier.

Well you can consider yourself now the maintainer of this wallpaper project. I'm handing the torch over to you
I'm sure you'll do great, and we are all looking forward to the update...well I am at least

I'll be happy to release my little pack when I recover the files, but that's the extent of my ambitions there.

That would be great!

Here's a quick Ridge Racer Type 4 wallpaper I threw together, since RRT4 is my most played game on Mister since the Playstation core was added. I love this game's aesthetic so much!

I've tried for days now to get wallpapers to show up on the menu page and It just doesn't seem to work. F1 does nothing. Creating a wallpapers folder ? [

Same here - using logitech wireless keyboard. for some reason I *dont* need to press FN while pressing F1 - if I just press F1 it works, but I banged my head for 10 mins before this...

[Malor]

Mister has some default wallpapers included, so F1 should do *something* if it's working. I think Matti's on the right track that the F1 keycode is not being sent correctly from your keyboard.

Once you can get any wallpaper to display at all, then you can focus on getting the right one configured.

Hello,
I'm on vacation without my MiSTer fpga but created a background image for my Sega Astro City (CRT so 4/3).
I haven't tried it out, but it should work just fine.
Enjoy!

Now do one with KARA's Mr. song

[seastalker]

Love that Astro City!! Is there a way to get these great wallpapers to also show up on my CRT instead of the snowy background? I usually boot in dual screen and would love some graphics on the CRT like I have on the flat screen thru HDMI..

Hi everyone,

Here are some wallpapers I made for my system. Some of the artwork looks a little rough but on a 15khz CRT they look good. Most of the logos/artwork I got from the Launchbox website. When I've made some more I'll post them later. Enjoy!

[taiwanjon]

Looks like the site didn't take all the attached files, so I'll upload them in batches

[taiwanjon]

And here are some more

And more...

OK, last batch for now!

Here are a few that I made. The original image is from a Tweet from the official MiSTer Twitter account (@MiSTerFPGABot). I dunno whether the artwork is from a game or if it's original, but I liked it and wanted to use it for my own wallpaper. I couldn't find a clean version of it anywhere; just a heavily-compressed JPG on Google. I took that JPG and rebuilt it in Photoshop. I thought it would be cool if the screens showed different game images, so I found various screenshots and put them in. I added some scanline FX on the screens to make it a little more interesting. And since MiSTer can show random screenshots on boot, I get a little bit of variety every time I play.

I'm including a clean version if anyone wants it. Just scale up your screen shots 6x from original resolution and the pixels will line up with the scanline effects. I used nearest-neighbor scaling to preserve the clean pixels, but bilinear scaling would soften the pixels for a more CRT-ish effect.

These are all awesome! Are there versions for us non CRT users?

Can we get a widescreen version of this? Thanks.

Sorry, I created it in 4/3 only, specifically for my Astro City

These look great, indeed! Would you mind sharing them with a GitHub repository? That way they could be integrated with the MiSTer Downloader and Update All out of the box.

You just need to follow the 5 steps from these instructions: https://github.com/theypsilon/DB-Template_MiSTer

Wow, how long does it take to make one of these? They are all great! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Browsing round the Discord this morning, had a sneak through the wallpapers section and spotted this one that made me get inspired with all the recent buzz around N64. All credit to M.Walrus who posted the original (attached at the bottom) of a nice exploded N64 + Controller.

All i did was resize, flatten the background colours a little, add the diagonal and logos in the middle. Now 1920x1080 and looks real nice on a big screen. Hope you like.

Since found out the original image is by someone called Richard Parry. So i guess thanks to him for the original exploded images.

I really like this wallpaper, I have allowed myself to make a modification to give visibility to the TapTo game launcher system:
