RetroPie-Silent

Basic configurations to silence all system outputs for RetroPie 3.0.

Please execute the following command:

$ sudo ./retropie_silent.sh

This is for a blank RetroPie installation, because it will override all previous settings!

System Outputs

This will turn off the following outputs:

Raspian

• Boot logo
• Kernel messages
• Voltage warnings
• Temperature warnings
• Rainbow splashscreen
• Terminal blinking cursor

X11

• Cursor

Libretro

• OSD (On Screen Display)

RetroPie

• Splash screen (disables service)

EmulationStation

• Loading messages

Additional Options

This will also set the following options

• Turn off boot delay
• Force sound over HDMI
• Disables exit from EmulationStation

Additional Files

This repository also contains several diffs in case you want to recompile these packages.

SysVinit

These diffs removes any broadcast warnings from the shutdown command. Never apply these diffs to any multi-user system or some people will punch you in the face!

• shutdown.c.diff
• initreq.h.diff

EmulationStation

• Renderer_init_sdlgl.cpp.diff Disables the cursor earlier to prevent flicker
• Window.cpp.diff - Removes the splash screen from EmulationStation (which normally can't be disabled by design [1])
