      It runs with polymer but it quits out shortly after changing to that renderer. So it looks like your correct.

      As for polymost renderer and the graphics issues I was thinking of trying to call XINIT: in the runcommand to see what that does. everyone else that has it running with polymost seems to have lxde open and they are starting it from the desktop. I figure its worth a try. Your thoughts?

        @polygaryd Sure, feel free to experiment using the desktop/lxde. That's not a supported configuration for the Pi though, so YMMV.

          No I meant trying XINIT: command to run from emulationstation in an x-window like the people using it from the lxde desktop.

            I tried the XINIT command in the launch script from emulationstation and not only did it not fix the incorrect images but also I have no keyboard control just like in dune legacy.

              @polygaryd you may need to use a window manager like matchbox in conjunction with xinit. I'm wondering if when you are running the x window it's losing focus and that's why your keyboard stops working.

                I have no idea what that is or how to use it, so I'll look into it and see what I can come up with for results. I appreciate the tip.

                  @polygaryd I just realized I misread what you said. You said running the game using x didn't help AND the keyboard wasn't working. Unfortunately a window manager is not likely to fix any visual issues.

                    Oh ok. well I guess I'll try it in lxde like everyone else is doing. I never ended up even looking up what you suggested I try anyhow. I've been too busy. I can still maybe use your suggestion for dune legacy though. The graphics are fine but the keyboard is missing for some reason.

                      After doing a quick search it seems that matchbox is similar to lxde, in the way that its another graphical interface like a desktop? It seems to replace lxde also or can you use matchbox in conjunction with lxde? from the info I'm finding its confusing me a little bit as you can probably tell by my questions.

                        @polygaryd I'm not familiar with lxde. But matchbox is just a window manager when you are running X. It's not a desktop environment, it just provides some additional functionality.

                          I cannot figure out how to run matchbox window manager to save my life. I have it installed and I go to run it after hitting f4 to drop to terminal from emulationstation and it tells me it cant open display check my display string.

                            @polygaryd take a look at the script module for minecraft for how to do it. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/minecraft.sh
