Splashcreen video and boot texts
-
@synack @DuckSalmon Actually, you can hide all the boot text and it explains how to do it all in the second link you posted. I've got mine setup so rhat my boot video is the only thing you see til it reaches the ES console selection screen. The same in all 3 of my projects.
Retropie in a NES - Pi 3 with Mausberry circuit shutdown switch wired to buttons and 8bitdo NesPro30 controller
Retropie in a Saturn Controller - Pi Zero, GPIO controls using DB9 driver
Retropie in a PSX - Pi3

thanks for your reply
I've already set propely my cmdline.txt and now the raspberries icons are hidden
(reduced the dimension of initial boot text)
But sometimes after the intro video appears some line of text and the es logo screen.
some other times after the intro appears directly the es system screen
I prefer the second way
boot>Fakebar loading>systems menu -
@DuckSalmon Could be the Plymouth enable setting in the cmdline.txt that needs altering. Think there's a post from a couple of months ago and possibly the Wiki on how to disable this. @BuZz does this seem likely to you?
-
If using the splashscreen feature updating retropie-setup will do the cmdline.txt change automatically. The original poster need to provide more information such as versions / existing
/boot/cmdline.txt(as they have made changes). -

Yep, I realize that, which is why I posted the link. I thought he was asking to show a progress bar video while the initial boot is taking place.

@synack Sorry mate, crossed wires :)

nothing, the splashcreen now seems to be useless
yesterday at the second reboot it worked perfectly, after the video the es menu was showed (rebooted unplug and plug the power supply)
now after the video appear other boot text
I've increased the sleep value to 2 in the asplashcreen script in the init.d folder
and added the lines as in the wiki
but nothing... -
@DuckSalmon Try disabling and enabling then changing the splash screen to something like a stock static one and see if that works. If it does, set your video back as the splash and try again. I had murder with one of mine when I was messing with it and I had to do that before it'd run properly.

thanks now seems to be better
but sometimes the video finish before all loadings
maybe is because this video is too short (27 sec.)
I'll try with a longest one -
Out of curiosity what is your beautiful boot video?
-
@DuckSalmon It depends on the boot process too, and if you've got devices connected. Try it with no peripherals attached,and see if one of them is slowing it down.
