You can start scripts from the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh if you put their starting line before emulationstation in that file.

@Clyde 1 Last question how do i get there

@Clyde said in Scripts on Retropie:

@HansStein You can access the script via file shares, opening \\retropie\configs\all or via SSH.

If your Pi has a keyboad, you can also press F4 in Emulation Station to get to its command shell, and then enter sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh to edit the file. In the editor, press Ctrl+xfollowed yand Enter to leave and save the file (or press n to not save it). You can leave the command shell by entering exitor pressing Ctrl+d.

Finally, you can also use SSH (Secure Shell) to access your Pi. See the Docs about that.
