      I want to avoid blank loading screen time. Instead of blank loading screens I want to display some short clips and family photos.
      I had some success with "splashscreens" catalogue. But it works only on external screen with HDMI and then only for clips because the images are overridden with console logging screen.
      The 3.5 LCD only displays console logs until the UI is loaded.

      You can create your own script(s) to show images/videos on the LCD screen, by using the EmulationStation scripting support.

      I was able to disable the EmulationStation loading screen but is there a way to display something instead of blank screen.

      No. The only thing shown during loading is the ES splashscreen (which you disabled).

      However, you can use the RetroPie's boot splashscreen to display an image during boot and increase the time it's shown so that by the time it stops, EmulationStation is already loaded.

      I tried adding a console "launching" screen but when launching a game the screen is mostly blank and for a few moments the picture shows and than the emulator is still loading with black screen.
      Is there a way to add an loading image or mp4 for each game instead of for each console.

      Apart from the regular splashscreen support in runcommand, there's no other mechanism in RetroPie to add additional loading screens. But once the emulator is loaded, there's nothing RetroPie can do - it's up to each individual emulator to display things.

      Is there a way to simplify the retropie UI to scroll and select games directly without emulator selection?
      Also instead of just the name of the game I wish to show an image to select like for choosing a console.

      Probably easiest is to use the Grid View support in EmulationStation and show only games' images instead of the list. You can try also other front-ends, like Pegasus or Attract-Mode.

      Here is the part of /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh that displays the launching image using either feh or fbi. If you're good with scripting, maybe you could jigger it to play a video with vlc or omxplayer, instead:

      function show_launch() { local images=() if [[ "$IS_SYS" -eq 1 && "$USE_ART" -eq 1 ]]; then # if using art look for images in paths for es art. images+=( "$HOME/RetroPie/roms/$SYSTEM/images/${ROM_BN}-image" "$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/$SYSTEM/${ROM_BN}-image" "$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_media/$SYSTEM/screenshots/${ROM_BN}" "$HOME/RetroPie/roms/$SYSTEM/media/screenshots/${ROM_BN}" ) fi # look for custom launching images if [[ "$IS_SYS" -eq 1 ]]; then images+=( "$HOME/RetroPie/roms/$SYSTEM/images/${ROM_BN}-launching" "$CONF_ROOT/launching" ) fi [[ "$IS_PORT" -eq 1 ]] && images+=("$CONFIGDIR/ports/launching") images+=("$CONFIGDIR/all/launching") local image local path local ext for path in "${images[@]}"; do for ext in jpg png; do if [[ -f "$path.$ext" ]]; then image="$path.$ext" break 2 fi done done if [[ -n "$image" ]]; then # if we are running under X use feh otherwise try and use fbi if [[ -n "$DISPLAY" ]]; then feh -F -N -Z -Y -q "$image" & &>/dev/null IMG_PID=$! sleep "$IMAGE_DELAY" else fbi -1 -t "$IMAGE_DELAY" -noverbose -a "$image" </dev/tty &>/dev/null fi elif [[ "$DISABLE_MENU" -ne 1 && "$USE_ART" -ne 1 ]]; then local launch_name if [[ -n "$ROM_BN" ]]; then launch_name="$ROM_BN ($EMULATOR)" else launch_name="$EMULATOR" fi DIALOGRC="$CONFIGDIR/all/runcommand-launch-dialog.cfg" dialog --infobox "\nLaunching $launch_name ...\n\nPress a button to configure\n\nErrors are logged to $LOG" 9 60 fi }

      You can see where it shows the paths and filename-patterns to look for art, (near the top) and where it defines the accepted extensions (for ext in jpg png; do). You'd want to change this part to include mp4, or whatever format your videos will be in, and possibly also add paths above to include ${ROM_BN}-video or similar if that's how you'll name them.

      Then there's the part where the image is displayed with the feh or fbi commands. You'll need to craft a command with the proper options to show your brief video snap, probably with either vlc or omxplayer. Probably also a check on which extension is used to determine whether to use the video or image command, unless you're going to only have videos, and then you'll need to remove the parts referencing images at all, including the "ports" and system-wide launch images (or change them to use the videos too.)

      @hitstore In the graphical Linux environment, this is called Plymouth or bootsplash.
      We need more information, which Linux distribution do you use?

      @ReadyPlayaWon I'll keep that in mind in future situations, but I've had a chance to confirm and the video volume isn't an issue when in HDMI mode. The issue is only with the headphone jack. I'll continue looking for a programming solution.

      @Ternous So, did you get 2 different splashscreens to show up or just one (for both ports) ?

      Try using the Sound configuration in the RetroPie system (or using raspi-config) to force the sound on the HDMI or the 3.5'' jack.

      @ucald4amarine one thing to add. All the sounds on the screensaver worked fine up to I told the arcade to do a random splash screen on startup.

      I have noticed this also and it is very annoying. After updating the retropie setup script the randomizer is disabled and needs to be enabled after each update...

      I'd love to be able to use the attractmode with OSMC, but I think it isn't possible

      I use OSMC for KODI and installed RetroPie via RetroSMC, which now works perfectly with Debian Stretch now that RetroPie has been worked on for Stretch

      I've even tried custom scripts I found that add the attract options to emulationstation so you can switch between the different modes via the emulationstation menu but that doesn't work either as the modes don't appear on the emulationstation menu. At least not with OSMC as no menu options appear and I've never seen the 'Configure Splashscreen' option either with OSMC

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