@herb_fargus Here is one of those intros. Although it is short, it is my favorite. I'll upload some 20-27 sec intros later.

these are awesome. I keep waiting to hear "audio jungle" during the preview as many of the envato templates do hahah. Thanks!

Love the Retropie intro!

@dra6n oh no, I can’t stand hearing that copy protection on YouTube videos. Very amateur. Lol

Any plans for neogeo and Mame?

7heSandman

@newellj79 of course! But I’m currently out of state so I’ll get to the rest of the console list when I get back. You can expect new content by the 26th. I plan to have an intro vid for each console and to redo the N64 console intro because I’m not pleased with it.

@7hesandman
Awesome! Keep up the good work!

@7heSandman
Do you think you can create a general video (aka. unknown systems)
So there is an alternative playback for videos that were not already created ;)

These are really nice! I'm not familiar for individual console loading screens so I've 1 question: Is there a time limit on these (10-11 sec?) because the sound on some videos is cut off.

How can i get this working in retropie running in ubuntu 18.04? it is driving me crazy.

Answered my own question. I ended up just replacing all the omxplayer stuff with vlc commands for fullscree, no title display and then exit vlc. i also went ahead and set vlc up to not show any playback controls and to have no border. seems to work just fine. Thank you so much for making these!

@n4tur3502 Hi! Any chance you can share what did you do to get this working with VLC on Ubuntu 18.04? I'm in the same boat here xD.

Thanks in advance!

Well, as @n4tur3502 did, I'm answering my own question too:

sudo apt install vlc -y
nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh
Add line:

[[ -f /home/pi/RetroPie/videos/$1.mp4 ]] && vlc -f --no-video-title-show --play-and-exit --no-qt-name-in-title --qt-minimal-view --no-qt-bgcone "/home/pi/RetroPie/videos/$1.mp4"
