RETROPIE STARTX INSTALL
I did some basic troubleshooting.įollowed steps to test the usb gamepad mentioned here and everything checked out (i needed to install the joystick library with sudo apt install joystick). Also pressing f4 on my usb keyboard should exit emulationstation, but that doesnt work either. It detects my usb gamepad, but it seems the button presses (required to advance the menu or set up the controller) aren't registering (i know these gamepads work with an older Pi version of retroarch). Xinit /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh Im at the point now where i can get the emulationstation gui to show up with: Im trying the same thing on a intel nuc pc (with dietpi), and this thread was really helpful. I tried the steps suggested here, but it does not make a difference: Root - I ran the commands you suggested for root before running xinit.
