Raspberry Pi 3 Booting into single rom
mahuti:
You might be able to do this instead:
--- Code: ---/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 1 "/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/some_emu_folder/some_emu ~/RetroPie/roms/arcade/romname.zip"
--- End code ---

do you know how to boot directly to a daphne game like dragon's lair?
I tried the obvious-
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ daphne ~/RetroPie/roms/daphne/roms/lair.zip
It boots to a daphne message about unable to find lair.zip lair.txt rather than starting the game, so my guess must be off the mark.
I already confirmed DL will load directly from Daphne in the emulation station menu.
Thank you.

I haven't tried, but you might try calling the emulator specifically like I mentioned in the previous post, but instead of ~/RetroPie, use the full path: /home/pi/RetroPie...
I dunno... :dunno

I updated your instructions a bit to match what I just had to do from Retropie 4.2........
Updated for Retropie 4.2 release from March 2017
Here is another way to boot into a single rom on a pi.
1- Use win32diskimager to install retropie on your sd card.
1a- Setup retropie as per normal configuring controllers and adding roms etc.
2- Start Retropie to load Emulation Station, hit F4 to exit to the retropie command prompt.
3- Type> sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
3a- Note- When this opens you should see one line of commands, it must stay as one line.
3b- Look for console=tty1 replace it with> console=tty3
3c- Confirm you have this toward the end of the line> quiet loglevel=3
3d- Add to the end of the line> logo.nologo
3e- Hit Control X to bring up the Save command
3f- Hit Y then hit Enter to overwrite the file
4- Type> sudo nano /boot/config.txt
4a- Scroll to bottom of file add the following lines>
disable_splash=1
avoid_warnings=1
4b- Note- this will stop the raspberry temperture icon showing during boot.
5- Enable splashscreens
5a- Note- The Splash Screen Menu can be accessed from the RetroPie Menu in EmulationStation or through the setup script under option 3.
5b- Navigate to Retropie Menu in EmulationStation
5c- Choose Splashscreens
5d- Use WinSCP from your computer to put a .png image of the desired game in the /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens
5e- Select Own Splashscreen in the menu
5f- You should then see your custom splashscreen folder, choose the file you added as your splashscreen.
5g- Reboot and hopefully you should see no boot messages
6- Setup Booting into a Single Rom
6a- Optional methods- Login to the Pi using Putty from your computer or F4 from the Retropie menu
6b- Type> sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh
6c- Add as the top line>
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ mame-mame4all ~/RetroPie/roms/arcade/romname.zip
6d- Optional- If you want to boot into a game running MAME2016 instead. Make sure that lr-mame2016 is the only "lr-" version of mame installed on the pi.
Use this as the top line>
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ mame-libretro ~/RetroPie/roms/arcade/romname.zip
Here is a quick vid of it booting up, no boot text, straight into the rom.

I know from the lair error message that retropie is at least hitting daphne. The lair.zip must not be the correct file to call.
I asked how the arpicade does it and got this. So i will poke around on that image and see if it sheds any light but first I have to figure out how to turn on wifi so i can ssh with putty and see the files.....always a detail missing with raspberry pi projects. :)
--------
if you use ARpiCADE you could make it boot to Dragons Lair by editing /boot/run.sh The command to run dragons lair would be:
/boot/launchers/daphne.sh lair >/dev/null 2>&1
put it just after the now loading message (the >/dev/null bit is just silencing the console output), if you leave either attract-mode or advmenu on a line later than the daphne one exiting daphne will make the menu load.
