Ok so I took a copy and then updated lr-fbalpha and it works with the neogeo.zip in the BIOS directory :)

@gusgorman said in Updated Text-Hiding Code:

there's still a second or two of code-running text that appears on screen before the launching image loads, and then again when exiting the game back to Attract Mode (or ES).

When I use launching images it doesn't happen here. What version of RetroPie are you using? You can see it on the top left dialog of retropie_setup.
