I then changed the config.txt on the RP3 to match speed, still took 15 minutes to load. Im not sure what the issue is with the image, hmm. It looks great, good job, its too bad I can't get it to work either.

IamRoger,
I am not sure why it is taking such a long time to boot. I will have a Pi3 version that I will post when I have some extra time. I just started a new job and I won't have time for a few weeks.
How many Roms have you loaded? You may want to try with less roms loaded. It could be your speed of your card. If you load the stock retropie image does it boot fast?

1. How did you get it to boot directly into a game. I am failing at this ;D
2. What layout are you using? I like its simplicity...
Thank you!
EDIT...just found your post on this a few pages back. Oops
Would you be willing to share your layout/theme? Thx again!

The layout is a modified version of Grid. If you have downloaded my image it comes with the Grid-New theme pre-installed. I will see if I can post a download link on my website for the Display layout when I get some extra time. I will also type up some instructions on where to place the modified files in the attract mode folders. I had to modify the border images to remove the white box that comes in the default attract Grid Display.

All,
Thanks for the feed back. :applaud:
I will try my best to do some additional testing and see if I can reproduce some issues like the slow booting. I will be ordering a Pi3 for my cocktail table. 2 Months ago I switched the cocktail over from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 16.04 Linux. I did a custom Mame compile that runs the latest Mame with attract mode. I am hoping to do a video series on this setup. Just haven't had the time to setup the camera to record a step by step on how I did it...

I received my Pi3 that I ordered for my cocktail cabinet. I flashed the image to an 8 gb micro sd card, dropped some roms in the folder and it boots on the Pi3. It's not a speed demon... You just need to be patient on the initial startup. Both the Pi2 and Pi3 boot time is about the same. Once it's loaded it all works good. :applaud:
