Research direction
Reproduce on an rpi2 or rpi3 running Lakka or LibreELEC with RetroArch 1.11.1, enabling the snow effect and setting the timeout to 10 seconds. Compare the snow, star field, and vortex modes with the working OFF mode; done means the selected animation appears after the timeout instead of falling back to a black screen.
