      I was having some trouble getting all my video splash screens to run in RetroPie, so I poked around in the code a bit.

      Here is a very rough stab at getting RetroPie to play all the videos

      Navigate to /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh

      Replace on line 46

              omxplayer --no-osd -o both -b --layer 10000 "$line"
      

      with

          VIDEOPATH="/home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens"
          for entry in $VIDEOPATH/*
          do
              omxplayer --no-osd -o both -b --layer 10000 "$entry" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
          done
      
      

      Current issues:

      • Will play ALL the videos, so even if emulation station is loaded will keep going. If there was a flag in EmulationStation that said that it was ready we could possibly exit out of the loop early
      • There is a 1 second black screen between videos
