                  @pisces3988 Please don't bump your posts. This is not a chat - have patience.

                  I type that command and I got mame.mp4, thats the mp4 file I named, Now what do I
                  do next after typing that command?

                  Please post the exact output of the command. If you're using a SSH session, just copy and paste the output.

                      @pisces3988 Execute the command I've posted, then post the result. For instance:

                      pi@pie4:~ $ ls $HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/
                      ls: cannot access '/home/pi/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/': No such file or directory
                      pi@pie4:~ $

                          @pisces3988 No, just type the command at the command prompt, after you log in to your Pi via SSH (or by exiting EmulationStation).

                              @pisces3988 What command have you typed ? The ls command just lists files, it doesn't start anything.

                                I typed the command that you showed me, was that the one I was supposed to type.

                                  Exit EmulationStation right after you boot your Pi (press F4) and then type the command at the command prompt. I think you're just adding the ls command to the onstart script, which is not what I asked.

                                    I exited emulationstation like you told me then I tried to type the command and all I get
                                    is command not found.

                                    This is what I typed

                                    pipie4:~ $ ls $HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/

                                    I hit enter after the first command and all I get is command not found???

                                      That's not the command I posted.
