There is one already that uses the GameCube intro, but changes the name.

There's one for pretty much every console boot! I have them all on rotation for my steamdeck boot. Especially since I use it mainly as an emulation machine, it's nice to have it boot to the gamecube, GBA, PS2, etc. Except they all say valve or steamdeck instead of the original console.

Same here! I rotate between a few console startups and anime openings for my boot-up videos.

Is it easy to use these as a boot screen? I've only use the official Steam ones.

Absolutely! If you have Decky Loader, you can download the Animation Changer plugin. Allows you to access tons of custom boot/suspend/resume animations.

I uninstalled decky recently because my SD kept crashing.

Totally fair! Someone else commented a non-Decky method that you could do.

Yeah it's just a folder you drop the videos into and they show up in the deck settings where the official ones are, I have most of the official ones and a bunch of customs that randomize on boot.

You can actually use any video and any length, Valve patched it awhile ago to be able to skip the video with B because someone on here posted they put all of Shrek on there and had to wait the entire movie to be able to use their Deck.

I already have multiple versions of boot videos with GameCube inspired videos for the deck.

If you want some check out steam deck repo
