Title: Hide console when loading and exiting roms? (Retropie)
Post by: tonberryhunter on January 11, 2018, 11:56:12 PM

I'm working on my custom front end and find it troublesome that I see the console briefly everytime I start and exit a game. 

Is there a way to hide the console?

Also is there a fix for glGetError 0x500 yet?

Im running the latest Retropie btw.

• For images when launching games, that's a RetroPie thing: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/runcommand#adding-custom-launching-images (https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/runcommand#adding-custom-launching-images)
  
  
• After compiling the latest AM from source glGetError 0x500 no longer appears for me.

  There is a useful tip at the bottom of the build instructions:
  
  
  Quote

  "Add the parameter "-j4" when you run make on a pi2 or pi3 to speed the build significantly."

  
  This tip would probably be more useful at the top of the instructions!
  
  AM itself doesn't take long to compile on an RPi3. FFMPEG, on the other hand, takes about an hour if you don't use -j4... you know, because you didn't read that far down at the start :P
  
  Caveat: Your layout may or may not be 100% compatible with AM 2.3.0, depending on how recent your layout is. Take a backup of your SD card first! I used an older (10 months or so) pre-built image and had to make a couple of modifications to the layout files after building the latest AM.
