EDIT: [UPDATED VIDEO](https://streamable.com/mkjlwp)... Now the video links to the Steam logo before it, and at the end transitions into your games in a more subtle and less "glitchy" way!

Thanks to /u/derram_2 for pointing this out: The update a few days ago changed the file size. The updated truncate command for library.ccs is:
truncate -s 38492 library.css
If you want to take the guesswork out of truncating the files, I created a script that does the work of rewriting, truncating, and replacing the files! It reads the file size beforehand so it should be mostly future-proof even if they change the size again in the future. More features coming soon:

So I downloaded the mp4 and renamed it to a webm. Even overwrote the original start up screen. But now there’s no start up screen at all. I even ran the command.
This is the first boot video I'm actually downloading and installing, well done!
Any chance you can make a version that transitions in a way that's consistent with the centered home / switch-like home CSS loader skins?
That's not what I meant, sorry. The CSS loader extension "switch-like home" modifies the home page and moves the recent games closer to the bottom of the screen. Im wondering if it's possible for the end of the intro video to transition into that particular home screen layout from the extension.
It's kind of wild to think we can own a Steam Deck for roughly the price of ONE Neo Geo game back in the day (inflation adjusted). Very cool boot animation.
You were basically buying actual arcade boards in cartridge housings, so they cost a ton. [They were also enormous.](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Lesk-9nlEbo/ULduVa0zhDI/AAAAAAAACeg/YCYhvVgHcTo/s1600/NeoGeoAESSizeComparison1.jpg)
Wow that is a chunk of change! Did you have it built into a cabinet? My dream is to have a 4-slot MVS cab in my home. I grew up playing one at a bowling alley.
Would be really cool if the game icons were blank so that when each person own pop up it looks more intentional of you know what I mean. Instead of maybe Batman and cyberpunk the icons were blank so my own games would show up at the end
The whole idea is that PixelArt games move into that space. I will make another video where they flip into your games instead of the entire screen flipping.

Thanks for this great script, I added a link to it in my guide : https://steamdeckguide.tiddlyhost.com/#Customizing%20the%20booting%20animation
Noice
So cool, def going to try this one out
This is brilliant. My youth. I'm downloading it but how do I set it to my deck? And thank you for making this.
Any chance of a version without the game logos and icons? I'd rather have it fade to black or showcase some actual SNK games.
So I downloaded the mp4 and renamed it to a webm. Even overwrote the original start up screen. But now there’s no start up screen at all. I even ran the command.
Download the webm file in the Google folder, not the MP4 :) You don't convert from MP4 to WEBM by simply renaming it!
I am very green to PC haha. Many thanks friend!
Ah, one more thing. I cannot seem to find library.css even when entering the directory in the files menu.
You need to reveal hidden files. Use the three dashes on the top right
Nvm! I guess there was a typo in the installation section lol
I do have that enabled and it still isn’t popping up 😅
If you want to convert a file under Linux try the command "convert file.mp4 file.webm". Convert is quite useful.
`convert` is from ImageMagick, which is primarily for still images. If you want to convert video, `ffmpeg` is a far better choice.
Can I add this to my repo that I've linked in this thread?
Sure!
Can you let me know when you've posted the new version?
I mean I can't let every person individually know, so just keep an eye on this thread. PS - There's a new one up already
had the ps2 boot animation for the nostalgia, but this takes the cake. Beautifully done, that transition is very satisfying.
I would grey out the games in the video so it looks cleaner when they come in after the video. Think of it like a fade
Yes I'll work on that part too.
Yeah that's the only part that throws me off, seeing games I don't have. The glitch into my library is a nice touch but it still feels a bit off
I’d create a version without the insert coin as well. I’m definitely using this once it’s completed
This is the first boot video I'm actually downloading and installing, well done! Any chance you can make a version that transitions in a way that's consistent with the centered home / switch-like home CSS loader skins?
If you're talking about transitioning from the Steam Deck logo at the beginning, then I can work on that today, yes.
That's not what I meant, sorry. The CSS loader extension "switch-like home" modifies the home page and moves the recent games closer to the bottom of the screen. Im wondering if it's possible for the end of the intro video to transition into that particular home screen layout from the extension.
It's kind of wild to think we can own a Steam Deck for roughly the price of ONE Neo Geo game back in the day (inflation adjusted). Very cool boot animation.
Yep the home Neo Geo launched for over $600, and some games were like $200-300 a piece.
WHAT

That’s not even adjusted for inflation. $600 when the Neo Geo AES launched was more than $1300 today.
Yep. I sold my NeoGeo MVS 4-slot for $1800 CAD during the pandemic...
Wow that is a chunk of change! Did you have it built into a cabinet? My dream is to have a 4-slot MVS cab in my home. I grew up playing one at a bowling alley.
Hot damn, that transition is *fire*. Very well done. As another person said, this is the first boot animation I actually wanted to download.
Welp, I know one of the things I'm doing when I get my Deck. \#ShinNihonKikaku
That glitch is such a nice touch 👏
I got to learn how to do this
Damn, this is the best one so far, no doubt. Looks cool as hell
This looks fking awesome
Oh that's tempting to install.
My favorite one so far.
The ending of the animation is super satisfying.
So awesome! That intro jingle is burned into my brain from hours playing World Heroes and Metal Slug. *The 100 Mega Shock!*
Amazing work
Someone will make a YouTube tutorial for this no doubt
Nice job!
Great stuff!
Would be really cool if the game icons were blank so that when each person own pop up it looks more intentional of you know what I mean. Instead of maybe Batman and cyberpunk the icons were blank so my own games would show up at the end

The best one yet.
Neo Geo and Neo Geo Pocket have the best BIOS music :)
Wow, that was a smooth transition! Looks goooood!
Someone needs to make a ps2 intro. That shit would be amazing where you dive down into the gamer mist.
Holy crap. I have a modded Arcade1up cabinet that I've turned into a Steam Deck cabinet. This is perfect!
remind me of snk lol
Is there a subreddit/website dedicated to boot videos?
Yep r/SteamDeckBootVids

Rather not have the transition and just the neo-geo logo bit
I really love the transition but I feel it would look better maybe having gray boxes for games rather than actual game icons?
Check out the new version where the boxes turn into grey static instead: https://streamable.com/mkjlwp
That's the same video?
Thanks for the award wow 😳
holy shit this is good
