      I noticed recently that a vast majority of the video splash screens out there for Retropie are parodies of already-existing consoles, or otherwise are slideshows of popular/famous games with little to no customization options. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, but personally I wanted to try and make a video splash specifically for RetroPie that could be customized, while also looking at least somewhat professional. After a few days of tweaking and experimentation, I completed the splash, as well as all the pieces needed to customize the screen in a video editor (such as Sony Vegas).

      The files included in the ZIP linked below are:

      • A version of the screen with a generic backdrop
      • A version of the screen with some of my personal favourite games as the backdrop (you can use this as an example of what you can do with these clips)
      • The first half of the splash, as a bluescreen
      • A blank "control instructions" overlay
      • Instructions on how to use the clips
      • A Sony Vegas .veg file, that has a video splash template ready to be customized.

      You can preview the screens here: Generic backdrop, and Personal games backdrop.
      And last but not least: You can download this pack here.

        I love the idea.
        No reason to try to be something else, when RetroPie itself is such a cool thing.

          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!
