I just confirmed this with my RPI2. Should work the same on the RPI0.
ssh into your PI. If you have a wifi adapter, this should work from another computer on the same network:
Default password is "raspberry" and edit the boot options
You will see a single line with all the boot options. Scroll along and change the following making sure not to add any linebreaks:
Next edit the config file with the following:
There you go. When it boots up now, it will just cleanly display the Retropie screen (or Wermy's bootup video if you go with that).
ssh into your PI. If you have a wifi adapter, this should work from another computer on the same network:
Code: Select all
ssh pi@retropie.local
Code: Select all
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
- - Replace "console=tty1" by "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
Next edit the config file with the following:
Code: Select all
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
- - add "disable_splash=1" at the end of the file.
There you go. When it boots up now, it will just cleanly display the Retropie screen (or Wermy's bootup video if you go with that).
