-You'll notice that Batocera always displays the default Batocera splash image before your own custom one. This is by design, as Batocera cannot access the userdata partition until later in the boot sequence. If you'd like to change this image, however, you still can. Simply replace the file at ''/usr/share/batocera/splash/boot-logo.png'' with another PNG file and then run ''batocera-save-overlay'' [[:access_the_batocera_via_ssh|via SSH]].
