Splash Boot
Since Batocera 5.27 the progress of adding images and videos is much easier to do. Just copy the appropriate files to your dedicated SHARE directory splash
(on your SMB network) and on reboot you can see your newest selections.
Batocera.linux supports 2 kinds of splash boot.
- A MP4 videos (for SBC, but not for x86_64 or x_86 platforms at the moment, sorry guys)
- A fixed PNG image for all plaforms
Video (if available) gets higher loading priority then pictures.
Splash boot screens can be customized by editing batocera.conf
.
Disable sound on Video Splash
By default, the sound is enabled.
To disable it, edit the file /userdata/system/batocera-boot.conf
on the usb key/sdcard to get a line exactly like this one (without #) :
splash.screen.sound=0
Only for BATOCERA <5.27
Customize splash video (only on RPi, RPi2, RPi3, Odroid XU4 and RockPro64)
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.
Image splash boot
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.
On the Odroid Go Advance, by design, the screen is physically rotated. So you need to rotate your splash screen 90 degrees counter-clockwise to make it appear with the right orientation.
Please note that throughout this page, the path /boot/
refers to the Linux path on your Batocera box. However, if you mount your Batocera USB key/SD card on a Windows machine, that path will be the root of your mount point shown as BATOCERA like F:\
or whatever is your mount letter for your Batocera USB key/SD card ).
Disable sound on Video Splash
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
