      I have changed the resolution of the video to 800 x 480 as that was the screen resolution and its fixed being able to see emulation station in the background. The only problem i have now is that the splash screen still starts late ?
      Isnt the splashscreen meant to hide all of the boot text at the start ?

            @dirtydond because the Pi has to boot and initialise services and programs before it can play the splash video.
            No video player running = no video.

                @dirtydond the Pi will boot more quickly if you turn off wait for network on boot This can be done by running sudo raspi-config then choose advanced options boot options

                  @jonnykesh When i go into the advanced settings there is no option to disable this feature. I will look around for this in some other settings.

                    It's actually in "boot options" of raspi-config.

                        @jonnykesh If you disable this option wait for network on boot, will it eventually connect to the network?

                          @hiulit Yes it will. It just won't halt the rest of the boot process waiting for a network connection.
