      Hi! I prepared a retropie system as a gift. I already have installed a nice splash-screen to it. But I wanted to know if there's a way to tell the system to trigger a special alternative splash-screen the next time is boot up.
      What I'm saying is to have 2 splash-screens:
      -Splash A
      -Splash B

      Splash A is the normal one. But Splash B is only seen on first boot.

      How can I tell the system "only the next time, play this one (B). after that, play the normal one forever (A)" ?

      Thanks in advance!

        There isn't a configuration setting for that. If you want a certain splashscreen to run only once, then you'll have to run a script on first boot that will switch the video files - same name, different files.
