      @mitu Is there a way to uninstall the service once installed? Everything I’ve tried seems to fail.

        The uninstall script is at https://github.com/MichaelKirsch/KintaroSnes/blob/master/uninstall.sh, it just removes the kintaro service and then also removes the scripts.
        Can you check if the service is running with sudo systemctl status kintaro ?

          @mitu I checked the service and it was in a disabled state, but still there. Removed everything manually using

          systemctl stop kintaro
          systemctl disable kintaro
          systemctl daemon-reload
          systemctl reset-failed
          rm -f /etc/systemd/system/kintaro.service
          rm -f /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/kintaro-config.sh
          rm -Rf /opt/kintaro/
          rm -f /home/pi/kintarosetup.py

          This seems to get rid of the service (uninstall script on github didn’t) but when attempting to reinstall I still get the message that kintarosnes is already the newest version and nothing is actually installed, but using systemctl to check the status of the service shows it doesn’t exist...

          I don’t know why this is so problematic to get working.

            @Marll kintaro is active on facebook. You could try contacting them there.

              @edmaul69 I may try that before totally redoing my image. I don’t use Facebook and hate to create an account just to contact them, but probably better than starting over.

                @edmaul69 is he? I hadn't seen anything new from him in months last I checked. I assumed he went out of business...

                    @Marll I'm not sure what happened to him. He was very active this time last year on all social media then around last August he suddenly went radio silent.

                    Do you have a spare sd card that you can try a fresh install? Might be a good idea to see if it's a software or hardware issue.

                        @quicksilver I’ll try another SD card first, I have one that I was using to start an arcade cab build, but I haven’t really started yet, so not a big deal.
