      @rtarroyo said in Remove Initial Boot Screen:

      using the terminal remotely is lightyears better, I feel stupid for not knowing that was an option.

      Then please spread the word, as many people (especially Windows users) think about the terminal as backward and cumbersome, while in fact it's very powerful and no rocket science with a little willingness to learn.

      I compare it sometimes to a Swiss Army knife next to the everyday knife and fork (the graphical desktop), or a look under a car's hood in addition to its dashboard. šŸ˜‰

      Besides remote administration, it's perfect for doing the same thing over and over, e.g. processing a big number of files (example, example).

      To become even more efficient with the terminal, I can highly recommend to check out its keyboard shortcuts, especially those for Tab Completion and the Command History.

      End of the noncommercial break. šŸ¤“

      @clemsonteg It's been some time, but I found this post while trying to figure out how to hide the bootloader myself. For reference, I found the answer at RaspberryPi.org and set my DISABLE_HDMI=1 in order to prevent the display.

      Noted in the URL above, this has only been an issue since the 2020-09-03 release of RPi OS as the behavior was changed to disregard the disable_splash flag. Hopefully this helps you out!

      hdmi_safe will set the resolution to 640x480, if your monitor supports a higher resolution, you can set it by using hdmi_group=2 and hdmi_mode set to one of the values detailed in https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md. You'll probably have to add hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080, my guess is that your monitor supplies a wrong EDID and the Pi tries to set the video resolution to an unsupported value.

      Cool! I was just curious. It is great as it is. I guess if I had to choose a company that represented Raspberry Pi the best, it'd be Adafruit.

      And not to hi-jack your thread, but if anyone want's a PS2 version,

      @supercatfooz You can choose what image to show as splashscreen through the RunCommand options - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/.
      It is possible to copy your own image in the emulator's config folder and have it display when launching a game (for that emulator). See the section about Adding custom launching images in the doc page above.
