Batocera.linux supports 2 kinds of splash boot.

• A MP4 video or a fixed PNG image for RPi1, RPi2, RPi3, Odroid XU4, Rockpro64
• A fixed PNG image for other platforms (PC, Odroid N2, Odroid Go Advance…)

Splash boot screens can be customized.

Please note that throughout this page, the path /boot/ refers to the Linux path on your Batocera box. If you mount your Batocera USB key/SD card on a Windows machine, that path will be the root of your mount point.

By default, the sound is enabled. To disable it, edit the file /boot/batocera-boot.conf on the usb key/sdcard to get a line exactly like this one (without #) :

splashsound = off

Put a file in /boot/splash.mp4 on the USB key/SD card to replace the default video. Starting with Batocera 5.25, you can have multiple *.mp4 files in /boot/ and the system will select one at random. Also, with Batocera 5.25+, you can also add splash images too.

You can change the splash boot image by putting your own file as /boot/splash.png. On Batocera 5.25+, you can have multiple *.png files in /boot/ and the system will select one at random.
