        @2redge2 By retropie, you mean Emulationstation or the emulators/RetroArch ? Emulationstation can be run in a window using the --windowed and --resolution command line arguments:

        EmulationStation, a graphical front-end for ROM browsing.

        Command line arguments:
        --resolution [width] [height]	try and force a particular resolution
        --gamelist-only			skip automatic game search, only read from gamelist.xml
        --ignore-gamelist		ignore the gamelist (useful for troubleshooting)
        --draw-framerate		display the framerate
        --no-exit			don't show the exit option in the menu
        --no-splash			don't show the splash screen
        --debug				more logging, show console on Windows
        --scrape			scrape using command line interface
        --windowed			not fullscreen, should be used with --resolution
        --vsync [1/on or 0/off]		turn vsync on or off (default is on)
        --max-vram [size]		Max VRAM to use in Mb before swapping. 0 for unlimited
        --force-kiosk		Force the UI mode to be Kiosk
        --help, -h			summon a sentient, angry tuba
