I am running the 3.0 release and have been trying to fully hide any traces of prompts and text. First I will go though what I have changed.
Added the following to /boot/config.txt to remove the boot color spectrum
disable_splash=1Changed the following of /boot/cmdline.txt
console=tty1 to console=tty3
And added the following to the end to remove all boot text
loglevel=3 quiet logo.nologoThe above always works fine for me. After this I would really like to hide all text when a emulator is started. So as far as I am able to get is doing the following.
Added the following to /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh to show a black image instead of any text during the emulator startup.
sudo fbi -T 2 -once -t 20 -noverbose -a -l /home/pi/Shared/loading.listThe loading.list contains
/home/pi/Shared/loading.pngWhen testing this works half the time. I still sometimes see the entire boot sequence and sometimes it shows just a black screen. When I tried with another color other than black I noticed that sometimes the image only takes the bottom half of the screen.
Should I be using this in something other than the runcommand.sh?

For the boot video the issue I have noticed in the final release is the video is not allowed to fully play. Instead it just cuts off and then I am stuck with a longer emulationstation loading screen.
See the comments on this video as well for hiding text as emulators load:
and here’s the solution to getting the video to play all the way through:

I am still getting a blinking underscore cursor when I change
[ “tty
” = “/dev/tty1” ] && emulationstation
to
[ “tty
” = “/dev/tty1” ] && clear && emulationstation > /dev/null 2>&1It is much better though.
As for the video the the solution has a flaw.
while pgrep omxplayer &>/dev/null; do sleep 1; done
That is causing emulationstation to not start loading until the video is finished playing resulting in a short boot sequence which the video was hiding plus the video allows the emulationstation loading screen to no be shown as long.Its probably about as good as it will get right now Unless you’re able to come up with something better.
