Replacing Emulationstation splash screen

mitu

@obscuredbyclouds The splashscreen is read from the splash.svg image file, present in the resources folder of the installation path. What's wrong with the ES's splashscreen ?

quicksilver

@obscuredbyclouds why not disable the emulation station splash screen then use your own?

obscuredbyclouds

@mitu Nothing is wrong, its just a little boring I guess.

obscuredbyclouds

@quicksilver I did disable it with emulationstation --no-splash #auto.

I don't know how to replace it with something else.

I've just changed the default splashscreen to a video by following these information https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Splashscreen/

That's not for ES is it? Just retropie right?

quicksilver

@obscuredbyclouds correct. Though you are on the retropie forums so we kinda assumed that's what you're using.

Ah got it. Yeah looking to replace the ES splash.

obscuredbyclouds

@obscuredbyclouds Do you have a walk through for the changes to use a different video/image?

obscuredbyclouds

Can anyone help with this request? Thanks!

@obscuredbyclouds according to this thread which is a couple of years old there are no solution to what you're asking https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/805/changing-es-splash-screen
The best you can do is to make an image or video that play enough until you reach the main menu.

@obscuredbyclouds You got an answer on your first post - did you look at it ?

quicksilver

@obscuredbyclouds are you asking how to change the retropie splash screen? Are you using retropie?

Yes, tho I don't understand it. I asked if there was a walk through, or some direction. I understand it is read from the splash.svg image file. Which is in the resources folder. I don't know what to do with that information.

obscuredbyclouds

@Brigane

Yeah I saw that thread, which is why I was asking if there was any up to date information.

obscuredbyclouds

@quicksilver I would like to replace EmulationStation loading splash screen with a custom video/image. I can not find any info on that that is up to date. I can find how to disable the splash screen but not to replace. Any help would be great!

@obscuredbyclouds last I checked the emulationstation splash had to be converted to binary and recompiled into the source. But it may have changed since then.

quicksilver

@obscuredbyclouds Can you give some more information about your setup then? Are you using retropie? on a pi? a computer?

obscuredbyclouds

@quicksilver Yeah@ RetroPie 4.4 on pi B plus, running the 128GB RetroRama.Rampage v2 image.

obscuredbyclouds

@herb_fargus Is there a walk through for this? Otherwise it's above my pay grade.
