UPDATE:
Version 2 - Replaced "ADAFRUIT" with "TRPF" (The Raspberry Pi Foundation)

I have been working on a pretty sweet PiStation build and decided to make my own custom splash screen video for it... One that mimics the original PSX startup. I call it the PiStation ReBOOT!

I'm super happy with how it came out and thought I would share it with the rest of the community.

Cheers!

Really great!

Kind of a weird question, but why Adafuit? They are simply a store that sells Pi's and stuff.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is the actual creator and developer of the Pi. I know that's a lot to fit there, but maybe put RetroPie or something instead.

I want this! :)

Excellent feelings of nostalgia from those boot sounds too. :)

@sturo Thanks!

That's actually the reason why I ended up going with Adafruit, aside from being a fan of Adafruit, my original idea was to use just "Raspberry Pi" but it was way too much text to put up above the diamond logo.

Using "RetroPie" would definitely work... I thought about that as well when I was making this. The only reason I didn't give that a go was because I LOVE the RetroPie joystick logo in the Playstation colorway above "PiStation" and I thought If I used "RetroPie" for the first part I would have to switch the logos around.

I dunno... What about abbreviating The Raspberry Pi Foundation? "TRPF" and instead of "Computer Entertainment" at the bottom it could say "The Raspberry Pi" on the first line and "Foundation" on the second.

Maybe I'll try out a few more things. If I do and I like it I will definitely update this post to include any variations.

Cool! I was just curious. It is great as it is. I guess if I had to choose a company that represented Raspberry Pi the best, it'd be Adafruit.

And not to hi-jack your thread, but if anyone want's a PS2 version,
