      I have a unique setup for my Pi 4 but I am looking for help with getting emulationstation to run on my 2nd hdmi port not my first one.

      I have a Raspad setup which means my Pi is in a tablet with hdmi 1 being used for the tablets touch screen. the tablet has a hdmi port on the side connected to hdmi 2. I would love it if I had HDMI 2 plugged in to say my TV then emulationstation would play my games on the tv but currently everything only goes to the tablet screen. can emulationstation be set to try hdmi 2 first and hdmi 1 second?

      I am running Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4 with TwisterOS ver 2.1.2

        Use the screen configuration utility and make the 2nd HDMI port the primary screen.
        Note that RetroPie is not supported on a desktop environment or on TwisterOS.
