      This is so cool! Just changed to a video splash. But the volume of it is so loud! Even though the menu and games SFX are normal levels. Any way to change this, or do I have to edit the video myself and lower the volume like that?

      you can edit with sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen and find the omxplayer line and add --vol n / --amp n parameters. note any changes to this file will get overwritten on updating.

      man omxplayer from terminal for help on options

            I altered the sound in Handbrake instead, but thanks anyways.

                @Thiago1101 cool. Can you rename the title so people know what it is and can find it if they do a search for it?

                    I made a very straightforward splash screen. I was having trouble finding something that fit the feel of the console and looked like an actual load screen.

                            @7heSandman Really cool stuff. Any chance you could stick some sound on it? 8 bit loading noises or gears or swoooshing? Some people love stuff like that. I'm not a fan myself but I know plenty of people who are.

                              @columboscoat Sure, I'll see about uploading a version with audio as well as some with altered colors and appearance. Thanks for the feedback

                                  Does anyone know if you could have multiple video Splashsreens and each time you start Retropie will play a different one?

                                            I'm building a BubbleBobble themed bartop.

                                            So if anyone's bored I would really love a simple, stylish splashscreen around 20-24 secs duration, with some few 8-bit sounds like an initial bootup "boink" sound, with a flashing Bubble Bobble dragon on a black screen, or something similar, and then the RetroPie / ES logos flashing up in the end.

                                            That'd be awesome!
