      I installed Pico-8 and then Zerojay's "RetroPie-Extra" in order to get the GameMaker titles working, and also installed weechat. Then right after that, the menu item for the Pixel Desktop quit working. It was working before these changes, but now when I launch it, it loads for a while but then kicks me back to EmulationStation.

      Fortunately, I can still access it by running the Desktop.sh file from the terminal, but this is still bad. What can I try to find out why this is happening? (collect logs?)

      Also, incidentally, why is the Pixel Desktop on the "Ports" menu? I think it belongs on the RetroPie menu

        @benmclean update your setup script and run the pixel install under the Raspbian tools.

          I updated and now I can't get it to start at all. Not even from the terminal
