Rookervik! That is glorious! Thank you! I'm planning on building a mini MVS bartop and that splash video will be perfect! Who did that music? It's awesome!

@Rookervik Ahh... brings back some annoyingly happy memories...

If you were originally asking about how to make this edit, then the file in question is located at /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh. /boot/cmdline.txt is also referenced as well.

@Rookervik Just got around to installing the two new splash screens. They look great. thanks so much, it makes my setup feel one step closer (or two technically) to finishing it all =D

@BuZz said in Custom splash screen will not load:

Perfect sir!

@thatdamnlobster if your problem is solved you should mark this post as solved. ;-)

So I believe the issue is that emulationstation won't allow the video from mplayer to play over it. I've tried adding --ontop to the line in order to have it play over emulationstation, but that program always seems to be over mplayer, and I can only hear the audio of the video after emulationstation starts.

Nice work, love it!

@lilbud I used fonts that were close to the original. Then outlined the text in red, outlined the black polygon and created the logo myself. Used the "clouds" filter to make the background, and found a nice flame image online and masked the text out for that.

N64 is 640x480 usually, so it just kinda looks bad when you scale the original graphics up. So I pick titles that I can re-create in HD without having to dig out a paint brush.

@Rookervik WOW!!! FU@#$ING AMAZING!!! Thanks dude!!

@rookervik Hey Rook! It's been awhile since I've been on these forums. Been tweaking my build here and there optimizing boxart and other QOL improvements. That Mega Man X load screen looks awesome man! You really have some amazing skill for converting these title screens! Is it possible to get the full sized file for it?

@BuZz Thanks mate :)

@Hex thanks! Very cool cardboard Gameboy!

@senkun

Yes, i am using wifi. And it seems so, that if it finds the network at First try, everything is fine exept the emulationstation cutting the video.

And i Have allready disabled the USB ROM service, and it only got rid one of the initial two identical fail errors.

And i Will try that delay sequence. Is the value in seconds?

Did you ever solve this problem in the end? I had the opposite problem. My splashscreen sound was going through the headphone jack and I had to force it through HDMI. I think you got the order of the line wrong. Try using this:

omxplayer -b -o local --layer 10000 "$line"
