@mitu that's what I am doing. I have reverted back to Carbon through this method but it doesn't fix the crashes at boot

@mitu I think I got it figured out. I was using the wrong splashscreen.sh script. I took the contents of asplashscreen.sh from /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen and created splash-omxplayer.sh in /home/pi/RetroPie and now it seems to work. Here's what I have in that updated script file:

#!/bin/sh ROOTDIR="/opt/retropie" DATADIR="/home/pi/RetroPie" REGEX_VIDEO="\.avi\|\.mov\|\.mp4\|\.mkv\|\.3gp\|\.mpg\|\.mp3\|\.wav\|\.m4a\|\.aac\|\.ogg\|\.flac" REGEX_IMAGE="\.bmp\|\.jpg\|\.jpeg\|\.gif\|\.png\|\.ppm\|\.tiff\|\.webp" # Load user settings . /opt/retropie/configs/all/splashscreen.cfg is_fkms() { if grep -q okay /proc/device-tree/soc/v3d@7ec00000/status 2> /dev/null || grep -q okay /proc/device-tree/soc/firmwarekms@7e600000/status 2> /dev/null ; then return 0 else return 1 fi } do_start () { local config="/etc/splashscreen.list" local line local re="$REGEX_VIDEO\|$REGEX_IMAGE" local omxiv="/opt/retropie/supplementary/omxiv/omxiv" case "$RANDOMIZE" in disabled) line="$(head -1 "$config")" ;; retropie) line="$(find "$ROOTDIR/supplementary/splashscreen" -type f | grep "$re" | shuf -n1)" ;; custom) line="$(find "$DATADIR/splashscreens" -type f | grep "$re" | shuf -n1)" ;; all) line="$(find "$ROOTDIR/supplementary/splashscreen" "$DATADIR/splashscreens" -type f | grep "$re" | shuf -n1)" ;; list) line="$(cat "$config" | shuf -n1)" ;; esac if $(echo "$line" | grep -q "$REGEX_VIDEO"); then # wait for dbus while ! pgrep "dbus" >/dev/null; do sleep 1 done omxplayer --no-osd -o both -b --layer 10001 "$line" elif $(echo "$line" | grep -q "$REGEX_IMAGE"); then if [ "$RANDOMIZE" = "disabled" ]; then local count=$(wc -l <"$config") else local count=1 fi [ $count -eq 0 ] && count=1 [ $count -gt 12 ] && count=12 # Default duration is 12 seconds, check if configured otherwise [ -z "$DURATION" ] && DURATION=12 local delay=$((DURATION/count)) if [ "$RANDOMIZE" = "disabled" ]; then "$omxiv" --once -t $delay -b --layer 10001 -f "$config" >/dev/null 2>&1 else "$omxiv" --once -t $delay -b --layer 10001 -r "$line" >/dev/null 2>&1 fi fi exit 0 } case "$1" in start|"") do_start & ;; restart|reload|force-reload) echo "Error: argument '$1' not supported" >&2 exit 3 ;; stop) # No-op ;; status) exit 0 ;; *) echo "Usage: asplashscreen [start|stop]" >&2 exit 3 ;; esac

So after doing this update, the splashscreen no longer appears when I load up the RetroPie. It just loads directly into the emulationstation loading screen.

Any ideas?

@Bravo88 according to the error message it is most likely something on your side. I do not encounter that error in my setup (Rpi5 with vanilla RaspiOS 12 Lite and vanilla RetroPie setup).

I assume you have mounted the working directory for image creation on a separate partition, which lacks execution for root. I would check the respective documentation on how to enable execution for root on the partition in question to remediate.

@Brote For anyone that ever has this issue (For the very few people that are as dumb as me.) I was taking a closer look and realized that I was plugging my usb in upside down. So yeah... make sure you don't do that.

I updated the script and database to 280.
There is no progettosnaps data in the new database and if new all_in1 drivers are found then they need to be added later.

Password protected binaries for mame 280 have been added too.
The password can be requested on : mamebinaries@gmail.com .

Please, do not quote this message.

@DTEAM

For 280 my awk script detected fxmcr165a for classich.
Can you check what needs to be added for all_in1 ?

Hello

In Ubuntu 25.04 i had the same issue. Took me a long time to manage to fix like as mentioned because i suspected the sdl2 module first. Thanks to you for helping. Just to summarize:

Change the line is es_systems.cfg to:
<command>sudo /home/xxx/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh retropiemenu launch %ROM%</command>

And in /home/xxx/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/retropiemenu.sh following line to:

setESSystem "RetroPie" "retropie" "$rpdir" ".rp .sh" "sudo $scriptdir/retropie_packages.sh retropiemenu launch %ROM% " "" "retropie"

Can someone explain why this is not fixed? Or do i missing something?

Here's is a realistic Arcade Bezel for the game 1944: The Loop Master using the Mega Bezel Reflective Shader for Retroarch.
