      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

                    Good morning,

                    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!

                                I couldn't get the randomizer to work with videos in my splashscreens folder from my mounted USB device. I had to copy them to the splashscreen folder on the microsd.

                                    @zoop i don't know...
                                    As i said on my post with the vidéo, it was all thks to the file provided by "Elementyl HD" (a youtuber) and his quick guide.
                                    I Just adapt it to my bartop, nothing more. But the one you link is pretty nice too!

                                      Either way it's freaking awesome! I was curious because I ripped the YouTube video to use in my video splash rotation.

                                      Nicely done on the setup as a whole.

                                          I'm trying to become more active in the community as Retropie has become a huge passion of mine, thanks largely in part to all of you folks and this community. I'm still learning the in's and outs, but I wanted to share my Retropie Splash Videos too, as I've made a few. Some of them I'm proud of, and others might not be quite as good. But I'd love for you all to use them if you like them!
