              @il-spicy-li based on the original error you done borked your autostart. You can reset it to boot to ES from the setup script. Provided you didn't mangle the core pieces of retropie whilst deleting things.

              If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

                    Why do this?

                      @il-spicy-li If you're just getting started, then re-install from a fresh image. You don't need to install something after 1st installation from image, the core emulators are already part of the image and you can start playing right away - after you copy your ROMs.
                      What you can do is after a fresh install is to update all installed packages - from binary.
