      @HallelujahJaffar wow. Thank you very much for sharing - these are all fantastic! I might certainly use one of these as my splash screen :)

        @ward614 I actually had this same issue when I first loaded up my first Splash Video to my Retropie. This link is what fixed it for me. Scroll down just a little and follow what Buzz posted as a fix.

              Hello everyone!
              I'm trying to make a splashscreen with a video game montage.
              There are 63 consoles I am trying to fit in this one, each with 3 seconds, which would end up at 189 seconds, which is roughly 2 minutes.
              Is that too long for a splashscreen?

                @itsnitro ...maybe :P The ones I use are on the longer side, 35s, and it's because I have quite a bit of metadata to load, I find. I wouldn't expect it to need to take a lot more. How long does your ES load time take?

                Could you frame 4 consoles at a time, or maybe same family ones in the same frame, to reduce the time?

                  What I did was reduce the frame limit to 1 second for each console. Might find a way to put 4 consoles at a time on the screen.
                  Also, the load time is pretty short for me. 4 seconds?
                  I use a raspberry Pi 3.

                    Alright. Here is my splash screen. Do note that this is not the final version.


                    I actually made the music. I'm a music producer as well. :D

                      @itsnitro not bad. I like that the transitions match the beat of the music, impressive you did the music yourself. I personally wouldn't want it that long for every time I boot but I typically just leave my pi on all the time so it's kinda a moot point for me.

                        I'm pretty new to RetroPie. Do these videos take the place of the wall of text that I see every time I start up? I love the Quasar theme that plays the old PSX sound.

                          @itsnitro Asides from it being 1m10s long, I actually love it! Might trim it down and used it for my set up :)

                          The music is quite catchy!

                              Is there no way to skip a playing Splash Screen Video?

                                I do not believe so.
                                I haven't tried using the splashscreen yet on my pi, I'll let you know how it goes.

                                  @itsnitro @hooperre Nope. I imagine, if you have a keyboard connected, pressing "q" might quit the video, if it's using OMXPlayer.

                                      @mydriaze Literally made an account to tell you how sick this is. It feels like a beautiful mashup of the band '1984 Miami Nights', Hotline Miami, and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Great work!!

                                            I will probably disappoint youi, but i'm not the author of this. I found it on Youtube, afterlurking for hours. That's why I decide to create an account, just to share it with you. :)
