      Hey guys hears another tutorial for Retro pie noobs like me:), please make sure to comment

      So first enter the terminal and copy and paste the following:

      sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
      

      You will see a single line with all the boot options. Scroll along and change the following making sure not to add any linebreaks:

      • Replace console=tty1 to console=tty3 to redirect boot messages to the third console.
      • Add loglevel=3 to disable non-critical kernel log messages.
      • Add logo.nologo to the end of the line to remove the Raspberry PI logos from displaying
        Press CTRL+X to exit and Y to save your changes.

      Next edit the config file with the following:

      sudo nano /boot/config.txt
      
      • add disable_splash=1 at the end of the file.
        Press CTRL+X to exit and Y to save your changes.

      There you go. When it boots up now, it will just cleanly display your splash screen

      Here is me converting the original Xbox for a case:
