no i don't mean your post was spam @YaYa but the one that was there. I'll delete mine now as it looks like I'm accusing random people of being spammers

[YaYa]

Don't worry, i never get hurt and even if your message would have been intended to me i didn't took it personnal.

this is great thanks,
my issue though is i add it as a custom splashscreen turn on my pi it starts the rainbow scren then a bit of text then this vid starts.
by the time it starts though i can see emultion station has started in the background but this vid is still going?
does anyone know how i can get this to boot as soon as the pi is turned on please?
thanks

ssh into your PI.

Code: Select all

ssh pi@retropie.local

Default password is "raspberry". You will need to edit the boot options

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

The cmdline.txt file is a single line with all the boot options. Scroll to find those items and replace (careful not to add line-breaks)

- To redirect boot message to 3rd console, change : "console=tty1" by "console=tty3" (nothing will appear upon boot on the 1st console
- Add "loglevel=3" to disable non-critical kernel log messages. so you won't see any warning except really critical stuffs !
- Add "logo.nologo" to the end of the line to remove the Raspberry PI logos from displaying : )

Press CTRL+X to exit and Y to save your changes.

Next edit the config file with the following:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

You will need to add "disable_splash=1" at the end of the file to enable the video

Press CTRL+X to exit and Y to save your changes.

All done !

thanks, it has gotten rid of all the pi startbup screens but still delays to start then over runs onto emulation station.
i am happy with my setup for now so will leave it for now but thanks for your instructions and also your vid, it is excellent!!!!
it will improve a lot of peoples gameboys!

[YaYa]

You are welcome ! Also your satisfaction is my satisfaction

Can you tell me how much it is overlapping over Emulation Station ? And how much it is delayed to start ?
