Display output boot time

[fcib]

When using HDMI my splashscreen video plays and before it even finishes, the emulationstation splash appears behind it (16:9 emulationstation splash screen can be seen behind 4:3 video). That way, once the video finishes, it seamlessly shows the emulationstation screen and then finishes loading. When using composite however, it shows the video splash, goes back to the terminal thing with some scrolling text for a bit, sometimes does a "start job" (just reading the text) and then loads emulationstation and it looks like shit.

So basically HDMI:
-some text and pi logo
-video splash
-emulationstation

composite:
-some text and pi logo
-video splash
-more text and pi logo
-emulationstation

Does this happen to anybody else?

There are some links and info about some of this in the guide section. You can remove the terminal text and raspberry logo, and you can try to deactivate "wait for network in boot", to get a faster boottime

Cheers.

edit: holy shit, it starts faster than ever now!

That's happening because you either have choosen the wrong aspect ratio for your video or the wrong aspect ratio in your retropie config.

The same thing happened to me when I changed

Code: Select all

sdtv_aspect

This defines the aspect ratio for composite video output. The default value is 1.
sdtv_aspect 	result
1 	4:3
2 	14:9
3 	16:9
