The problem is, in short, that it's impossible (for now) to get a picture for a game that isn't an arcade one (i.e. driven by a MRA file) and that hasn't it's own CORE (i.e. Xeno Crisis for Genesis - the CORE (and it's name) is genesis then).

Given that we can now launch games directly with MGL files, this shouldn't be impossible anymore (well, other than MGL support not being implemented in TTY2OLED).

This also brings up some potential future feature potentialities--when launching from an MGL, TTY2OLED could switch between the core/game screens instead of using the screensaver for example. Of course MGL support would also require thousands and thousands of images to account for all the libraries, which would be just insane.

Are there any additional steps I need to complete? That is, do I need to flash the ESP32 again with the latest files in order to enable this function

Hmmm...interesting...how (type of OS) did you edited one or both INIs? Maybe that'll come into the game when editing an INI with Windows, which indeed saves a different LF character, and "sourcing" (reading and parsing) that INI within MiSTer (Linux) misinterpred these LF's.

I edited it (user settings) on Windows using Programmer's Notepad. No idea why that changed the encoding and line endings. I don't think it is supposed to do that.

Nice ones! If they're fitting all needs we'll upload them as alternatives to the existing ones (xxx_altY.gsc).

Highky appreciated. Your version is the new default, mine went to _alt1. Already uploaded.
I know that some (of my) pictures are looking somewhat washy or unsharp, but that's "my way", as I'm no pixel artist - and better having a nice-ish picture than nothing
Don't hesitate to have look at the gallery at https://venice1200.github.io/MiSTer_tty2oled_Pictures/, pick your favorite and give us your Bob Ross confection! Every improvement is welcome!

Thought about that while updating the sheet Do you have an URL?

The SAM script now uses MGL files, which makes it work a whole lot better, it is really cool in combination with TTY2OLED.
