Was able to navigate to the opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen folder (in order to replace those defaults with my own videos. I don't have access. After searching the googs (google) I found out how to access it. (thank God for my years of DOS)

@herb_fargus Possibly. But the display settings are correct and the aspect ratio of the splash video matches the vertical screen exactly.

@pokeengineer Thanks Man!

This is pretty funny and weird at the same time, but basically on the RetroPie-Extra splash screens, something that I noticed was that someone already created a LEGO Pi splashscreen. This is completely unrelated, but I noticed it very easily.

@mitu Presumably Ruby's referring to the video links (which I decided to upload to either mixtape.moe or pomf.cat at the time). Of course, since neither of those sites operate anymore, I decided to reupload it to something that's (hopefully) more reliable. And just for the sake of prosperity, here's the video from the original post and the first update (complete with the never-before-seen original file names!).

can't wait to see the finished product, Looks beautiful

@allanbuzzy Unfortunately, no; the sound effects were manually edited in post since ES doesn't support custom sounds when scrolling on systems. :(

Nice idea. "Parody" splash screen are fun and look cool, a you're right, RetroPie should have it's own unique flavor. Thanks for sharing!

@Yourdrunkendad nice :)

@Dr-Ocelot I dig these a lot, very nice work!

Me too, I like the idea. Shutdown splashscreen sounds great.

@jdrassa This method seems to work great if the UI modes are not in use but if it's set into Kiosk mode the es_settings.cfg reverts to an unmodified state after reboot. Does enabling the Kiosk mode overwrite the es_settings.cfg file? If so can I modify the Kiosk mode to include the splash screen setting?

@Freakadude Thanks for the feedback but I didn't make the shorter version of the song. I got the shorter version from some youtuber but the visuals I did make so I can't really do anything about the song transition. Sorry.

@mikeh1982 you can also use sites that you out in the YouTube URL and it will download a mp4

Cool idea. Love all the classic Lucasfilm/Lucasarts adventure games and for me Maniac Mansion was the first one that got me into adventure gaming so this is an instalike from me :)

@mikeh1982 Transferring the ROMs via USB is done automatically so there is no need to look at the directories, you don't need to manually move anything. If you use samba share over the network then the 4 directories are automatically shared to allow you to edit, transfer, delete, manage etc... Just as a tip, you can add extra folders / directories to be shared over the network. If you go to /etc/samba and open smb.conf you can add entries, eg [home] comment = home path = "/home/pi" writeable = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 force user = pi Or add any other path you want to access...

Hmm. I followed your advice and copied the video-splashscreen over to /home/pi/splashscreens and changed the line in /etc/splashscreen.list accordingly. Strangely this doesn't work, the splashscreens never appears. I even double- and triple-checked the paths and tried different folders, but the splashscreen won't show up. Edit: Just got it to work. After copying it over to /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/ to the default splashscreens and selecting it it works like a charm!
