Splashscreen not covering initial startup time
-
So I made quite a few custom splash screens to make my Pi feel unique and it works great but there is a small problem. When it works the splash screen does just what it's supposed to. The Pi loads up, splash screen hits, the the emulation station logo shows up for a second, then I'm into the games. I noticed however that if I am not connected to WiFi the order of events gets messed up. Once I disconnect my WiFi and power it on the Pi boots up, then the splash screen hits for the same amount of time, but then it is followed by a ton of boot up code which is what the splash screen is supposed to cover, then the emulation station screen, then I'm in the games. So it is like the Pi shows the splash screen then decides to start booting after, which is annoying. Again this does not happen if I have the Pi connected to my WiFi, everything works fine then. It also doesn't matter if I disconnect the WiFi through the Pi menu or simply take it to a friend's house I still get the start-up code after the splash screen. So I was wondering how to fix this, I don't want to have my Pi connected to WiFi all the time just so it start's properly. Any help with this would be much appreciated, thanks!

I'm sure someone will point you here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#why-does-shut-down-and-reboot-take-ages
But I've noticed the same thing. The one thing in the startup I see taking the most time when not connected to wifi is the dhcp time. I saw a couple google results talking about disabling unneeded services but haven't tested anything myself yet.

That's a ton of info very helpful! I'll mess around with some stuff and see what works, thanks!

open up boot/cmdline.txt and delete everything and put this all on 1 line. this will remove as much text as is possible.
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait quiet

Is there a way to silence boot text like this without removing other config options? Eg i have custom defined overscan settings and overclocking.
