      Hey. I've been trying to set up micropolis in the ports section. I've got the files from the experimental section and I don't know what to do from there. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

        Hey, in the main emulationstation menu you should now be able to see it under "ports".

        Alternatively just run ./micropolis from the shell (F4 from emulationstation).

        Alternatively if you launch the desktop you should find it under games folder (or at least pre-Pixel, I haven't tried that version of the desktop so it could have moved).

        If you keep seeing a black screen try installing the lxde desktop (also in experimental packages if i recall correctly) and then logging into it first, I had to do that in one of the 4.0 betas I started with.

          @BennyProfane the desktop is in the same spot, just labeled for pixel now rather than lxde: see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#where-did-the-desktop-go

            ok, I see it under ports but it doesn't do anything when I tap it.
