      Hi,

      I've installed RetroPie over Rasbpian Lite 64Bit on my Pi5, I copied over my config from my Pi3 setup.

      Even though I have emulationstation set to open on "Arcade", it boots into "RetroPie Options - Splash Screens".

      I mentioned this in the Announcement thread and was asked to post here with my config and log file. Please see below.

        I think the issue is that you get some stray inputs on start-up which trigger the start of RetroPie-Setup and opening of the Splashscreen settings.
        Does the same thing happen if you choose Restart EmulationStation from the EmulationStation menu ?

            @StuMcBill Just to make sure, even if you just restart EmulationStation (and not the entire RetroPie system) you get the same behavior ?

            Run EmulationStation from the terminal, but add the --debug flag:

            emulationstation --debug

            and post again the EmulationStation log file ($HOME/.emulationstation/es_log.txt).

                In the log I see a bunch of inputs from the ControlBlock gamepad that result in ES navigating (from the arcade system where it's started) to the RetroPie system and opening splashscreen 'game'.
                Is ControlBlock compatible with a Pi5 ? I bet that if you disconnect it and connect a regular controller you won't have this issue.

                  @mitu I’m suspecting that it’s not at the moment, but it’s not even connected, just drivers installed.

                    I did try connecting the ControlBlock just after installing the drivers, and the Pi doesn’t boot.

                      The issue you're experiencing seems related to ControlBlock (driver/service, I'll see if I can reproduce it on my system. Not a Pi5, but maybe the behavior is similar ?

                        @mitu said in (Pi5) emulationstation starts on settings / splash screen instead of Arcade:

                        I use ControlBlock on my Pi3 with absolutely no problems, it’s been rock solid.
