      @ghrayfahx I'm on 4.1.19 and reading ROMs from a USB drive works well. I think this is just a note about the upgrade from the 4.1 base image which is now quite a few months and iterations of RetroPie old.

          @Lyle_JP I don't know if it's a cultural thing or an age gap thing, but I have no idea who that is or what the joke is.

                @Lyle_JP, @obsidianspider: Ahh, so both a cultural and age gap thing then. Good to know. Cheers.

                  @BuZz Not in the repos (packaged), only if you are using rpi-update ;) And using rpi-update is generally considered unstable. But that shouldn't be a problem, although I didn't test it with emulators. I just wanted to know if you did this to include/fix some gamepad driver or something like it. And thanks for your work :D

                  The image is built based on the last Raspbian Lite image, so I may have just imagined being on 4.9 on another system I was testing. My bad - certainly no rpi-update is run anyway.

                  [edit] unless the last raspbian lite has an unpackaged newer kernel - which could be possible since they pushed out a quick zero w fix

                  [edit] nope, it's just my memory - images are definitely 4.4.50 as has been mentioned. will edit first post.

                      Ability to set custom ES themes in configs/all/platforms.cfg (can any setting in RetroPie-Setup/platforms.cfg).

                      What does this mean? I must have missed this development.

                          @AlexMurphy Yea I actually tend to agree.. but I wasn't aware that ES was being worked on again. Who can we talk to about getting the kiosk/child mode fork merged in with the newest? I really rely on that more than anything but it has the issue with subfolders still which is a killer.

                            Also thank you @BuZz and others for keeping RetroPie going great! Just sent a donation. I have started an arcade cabinet side job on etsy and I've customized retro pi for it, so I will be making a donation for each unit I sell. Keep up the good work (and please find someone to get kiosk mode into the core ES :P)

                                @figolu31 did you read my post? I detail SSH.

                                Please do not post on this thread for help - this is a thread for testing before release. If you need help you should not be using this image.

                                  I'm primarily after testing feedback rather than this being a support thread. If you are saying it's missing, I'll take a look.

                                    @figolu31 Its missing. I looked in all the different packages sections (main, experimental etc)

                                    Can't find it at all.

                                    Also: Excuse my noobness etc - downloaded/installed this image but my version says 4.1.19. Is that normal?

                                      It's under optional packages as lr-beetle-vb for rpi2/rpi3 users (not available for rpi1/zero - I've just changed the code so it is, but it probably won't be playable on an armv6 based device).

                                      You can ignore that, it's just because I didn't commit the version bump before I started building.

                                        Friend could you add a favorites system to the official standard emulationsystion? I really want to see my favorite games at the top with not having the extra ES kids and kiosk features plus the mode switcher
