      Hi Guys,

      I have created a simple script that randomize at boot time the splashscreen on your retropie.
      It has more than 70 splashscreens and 8 videos.

      Fully working with Retropie 3.6

      Please, feel free to send pull requests with splashscreens and videos!!

      Just send with standard format: <creator-splashname>/<creator-splashname>.<fileformat>

      GitHub:

      Some screens:

      Some videos:

        Yo. I love this. Thanks for the hard work. I had this set up beautifully under 3.6, but it seems to have changed since I last installed it. What directory is it getting the splash screens from, because it no longer seems to use the ones I put in /RetroPie/splashescreens? Do I have to move them elsewhere? Thanks.

          Hello,

          I think it's here :
          /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/

                  So I installed this and put files in the appropriate /opt/ folder, but when I started up the PI it just cycled through the first 10ish splashscreens, and it isn't actually doing it randomly, any help please?

                      @madmodder123 there is a randomiser built in to the splash screen module already...
