      @backstander so I mounted my USB, I can open up a list of things on it yet it still won't copy the splash screen, haven't tried the loading screen yet but here's my screen

        @backstander I just tried installing the loading screen launch file, pretty sure it worked, tried to do the splash screen once more and it says

        cp: target /retropie/splashscreens is not a directory

        Same goes if I capitalize the "R" and the "P"

          File names and directory names are case sensitive so it has to be "RetroPie"

          Also make sure you're using the Tilde key like at the beginning of ~/RetroPie/splashscreens/

          Type this to copy over the video splashscreen:
          cp /media/sda1/retropiepixelsplash.mp4 ~/RetroPie/splashscreens/

                To enable your video splashscreen:
                RetroPie -> Splash Screens -> Choose splashscreen -> Own/Extra splashscreens (from /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens) -> retropiepixelsplash.mp4
                https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/splashscreen

                To use the Pixel Theme for EmulationStation:
                Start button on your controller -> UI Settings -> Theme Set -> Pixel
                After this change you'll probably need to either restart EmulationStation (or your Raspberry Pi)
                https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/themes

                The Pixel Runcommand System Splashscreen should already be working and when you run a game it should show a picture like these for about 2 seconds:

                      Try this variant:
                      cp /media/sda1/retropiepixelsplash.mp4 /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/
