      @mitu I understand. I'll try and tinker around for a while and see what I can do. I might report back if I'm not a huge pain in the butt.

      Any news on an official Rpi5 retropie image?

        @mitu Brother, no way! I got it working. I installed retropie on top of the OS and can launch it via crtl+alt+f1! No way that worked!

        Now, how do I boot directly into it?

              Sure. But didn't you do the same installation in the first place ? What's different now ?

                @mitu The tutorial told me to install some dependency package, mesa-drm. Also it sits on top of the desktop version now as opposed to lite. No idea why that made a difference.

                Man, you're a hero, bro.

                    @mitu this one:

                    Any ideas on why the drastically different results? 🤷

                      I don't know, I did not watch the video. The only instructions we support are the ones in the docs.

                        @mitu Heh, well. At least it works, right?

                        It's basically the same thing, but a different OS and some dependency installs.
