      How do I remove the Emulation Station load screen and boot text?

      I’m running this on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Retropie ver. 4.5

        You can do that by using the --no-splash parameter to the emulationstationcommand in the startup script (/opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh).

          Thanks for your help, that worked👍 I’m still getting a boot text tho (which I want to hide) I recently installed a music player to play while in the emulation station. In the autostart.sh file, it reads..
          while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 0; done
          (sleep 5; mpg123 -Z /home/pi/bgm/*.mp3 >/dev/null 2>&1) &
          emulationstation —no-splash
