RetroPi UI Falis to load for school project
-
Hi Thanks in advance for any help that you have to offer. I am using a Raspberry Pi model 3B+, and the lastest version of retro-pi installed via the rasberry imager. After running the lines of code at startup, the program will ask to configure a gamepad once completed it will take me to the screen where you are able to imput code, (It has the retro pi logo in code colored at the top), I am unable to get past this screen to access the normal retroPi UI, with the game selection. I've tried re-intalling the OS on to the SD Card but to no luck, it's the same result. I've spent hours imputting sudo commands to allow the retro pi to boot to the UI, but to no avail. i am unable to format the usb as I can not access the standard settings, only the limited system settings. Is there a reason for this. I apologise for any details that i may not not included, I'm very new to rasberry Pi, please ask for any info that is necessary if you are able to help. Thanks!

That's the command line, you don't input code there, you just write commands which are executed by the shell.

Not sure what commands you tried, but the UI (front-end) is called EmulationStation and can be started by typing
emulationstationat the command prompt and pressing enter (execute command). Do you get an error when you execute this command ?I apologise for any details that i may not not included, I'm very new to rasberry Pi, please ask for any info that is necessary if you are able to help.
