iPhone 5 - Disable Load Image

To invoke the correct aspect ratio on iPhone 5 devices you have to include the necessary “Default-568h@2x.png” file in the project directory. This though invokes the iPhone to use the “Default-568h@2x.png” image as a load screen image, which seems to slow down the loading of the game as it waits for the splash screen to disappear.

On the iPhone 4 the game appears quicker as it doesn’t display a load screen. Is it possible to include the “Default-568h@2x.png” but ask/set Corona SDK not to display a splash screen on start. 

nb. I’ve tried using black and transparent “Default-568h@2x.png” small size images, but these still cause a small delay as the load screen is displayed prior to the game.

I’d rather not have a load screen at all if possible, any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks
