    Hi everyone,

    When you set up launching images for ROMs/systems there is still a part of the launch process that occurs - resembles retropies startup (black screen with terminal text).

    Is there a way to make this not show??

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Jamie

      Hmm, don't think I get that personally. Have you already tried this, as this seemed to resolve 99% of the unwanted text for me?

        That sounds like the launching images. You can set the time that those screens on visible and you can replace them with custom launching images per game.

            @IanDaemon thankyou for the message, yeah I've already replaced the game launching message with my own custom launching image.. it was just there was some boot text occuring before that which the custom launching image doesn't replace.
            @sad_muso sent a link which explains some configuration is needed 👍🏻

                @jamietuley I'm not 100% sure that this will resolve your issue, but you sound like somebody who would appreciate hiding all the system text where possible anyway, so either way it should tidy things up for you

                  I was seeing the same and it was the errors being thrown by the audio issues introduced with Raspbian Buster: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26628/audio-issues-after-latest-raspbian-updates
