Help please

wanted to add some custom splash videos to my RetroPie. The USB thumb drive I have includes BIOS, configs, and roms folders, but nothing for splashscreens. However I had already installed the extra splashscreens package on my Pi, so in the filesystem there is a /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens directory--it just didn't exist on the USB.

In the hopes that I could copy those videos over, I created a splashscreens directory on the USB stick (G:\retropie\splashscreens) and copied my videos to that folder. However, the Pi won't copy its contents to the matching folder in its file system.

I did figure out a way to do this manually, by copying from /media/usb/retropie/splashscreens to ~/RetroPie/splashscreens, but what I'd really like is a way to do this automatically like I do with roms. So what I want to know is, where do I configure that?

BTW, due to the way my network is setup, using Samba or SCP/SFTP is not an option. I wish it were as it would make so many things easier, but it's not so please no suggestions along those lines.![alt text](~~

There's no configuration options for it - the RetroPie usbromservice doesn't copy the splashscreen folder, just the roms and BIOS folders.

You could create a simple shell script that copies the splashscreen folder contents from the USB stick to the corresponding folder in $HOME/RetroPie, then add it in the retropiemenu folder, so you can run it from EmulationStation whenever you want.
