When I build any custom Raspberry Pi project, I like to hide the initial boot up text. This is a great finishing touch that will help make your project look more like a finished product.
Enter the following into the terminal. You can access the terminal by pressing F4 or through your network via SSH.
1.) Change /boot/cmdline.txt
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
Change the console from tty1 to
console=tty3
Also add this line to the end of the text
quiet splash loglevel=0 logo.nologo vt.global_cursor_default=0Save changes by pressing CTL+O and confirm by pressing ENTER. Then press CTL+X to exit back to terminal and move on to step 2.
2.) Hide dmesg
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Before ‘exit 0’ add:
#Hide Kernel Messages
dmesg --console-offSave changes by pressing CTL+O and confirm by pressing ENTER. Then press CTL+X to exit back to terminal and move on to step 3.
3.) Remove rainbow splashscreen
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add this line to the bottom
disable_splash=1
Save changes by pressing CTL+O and confirm by pressing ENTER. Then press CTL+X to exit back to terminal and move on to step 4.
4.) Enable hushlogin
touch ~/.hushloginAfter you have completed all steps type EXIT to leave terminal.

Hi,
Where do I put these codes?
The terminal. You can access terminal on the Pi by connecting a keyboard and pressing F4, or through network via SSH. After you are done following the steps, you can simply type EXIT on the terminal to return to Emulation Station.
