Replacing Emulationstation splash screen
-
@obscuredbyclouds why not disable the emulation station splash screen then use your own?
-
@mitu Nothing is wrong, its just a little boring I guess.
-
@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?
-
@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 Do you have a walk through for the changes to use a different video/image?
-
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 ?
-
@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.
-
Yeah I saw that thread, which is why I was asking if there was any up to date information.
-
@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.
-
@obscuredbyclouds Can you give some more information about your setup then? Are you using retropie? on a pi? a computer?
-
@quicksilver Yeah@ RetroPie 4.4 on pi B plus, running the 128GB RetroRama.Rampage v2 image.
-
@herb_fargus Is there a walk through for this? Otherwise it's above my pay grade.
-
@obscuredbyclouds 3rd party images are not supported here. But why do you want to replace the ES splash screen? Are you trying to run two splash screens? Just turn the ES one off and replace the default Retropie splash screen with one that you want. Problem solved.
