Title: Eliminate NAG text / random game info when a game launches or exits MAME Attract
Post by: pibuilder on July 21, 2018, 03:40:24 PM
I'm getting really close to nearing completion of my Pi build. Can someone help with eliminating what I consider NAG text / random game info when a game launches or exits MAME Attract irritates me. NO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT MAME NAG SCREENS (Those are already gone / disabled)... It's before / after MAME launches or exits. It's incredibly brief virtually so fast that it's impossible to read without taking a burst photo of it, but I want it gone on both launching a game while using attract mode / MAME. Some games contain more text / info some are more simplified I really don't want to see these screens at all, how can I eliminate them ? Below is an example of said annoying text / looks like the Pi terminal / dos / black screen with game info text just prior to launching mame :

Also to note it's not in RetroArch because those settings are turned OFF (That helped with yellow text appearing on the bottom of the screen though):

You are using retropie software correct?

There is a way to cover that up yes

1.  Goto "Retropie"
2. Goto "Run command configuration"
3. Make launch menu Disabled
4. make Launch Menu Art Enabled

That is a quick way to hide any loading text...you will ave to have all your flyers/boxart scrapped for it to work nicely

I already had "3. Make launch menu Disabled". I didn't have "4. make Launch Menu Art Enabled" though after enabling it I still see the same nag / info screens with generic launch terminal text both when launching a game from attract mode into & out of MAME games. issue not resolved.

The answer is in the Pi FAQ... just the like the answers to your other questions. That's why it's there and stickyed at the top of this section of the forum.

Still having issues perhaps somethings wrong within my files if someone can notice anything wrong etc...

I clicked on to FAQ following this link
13. How can I get rid of the terminal/console text I see when I launch a game or exit a game? Check out this post http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1642.0.

My autostart.sh found within (opt/retropie/configs/all) picture below:
(https://preview.ibb.co/kfv8by/shautostart.png) (https://ibb.co/nNxMwy)

I created a .txt file as stated naming it  "runcommand-onstart" which contains:
(https://preview.ibb.co/nMBd9J/runcommand_onstart1.png) (https://ibb.co/kY99Gy)


Here is the other file named "runcommand-onend":
(https://preview.ibb.co/dQCFOd/runcommand_onstart.png) (https://ibb.co/f5WmUJ)

changed both of the documents / file type to .sh & placed them all in their respective folder using  WinSCP:

Unfortunately still NOT RESOLVED unless my files don't look right etc, can any one help ? I'm STILL STUCK  Having this error / issue !?

****EDIT SEEMS TO BE WORKING !!! I Just needed to reset / reboot the pi... Not much left to do getting closer !
