        There is a very well kept secret documentation that the Retropie team hides from public for unknown reasons that only appears once a year at 1st April while you try to browse forums.

        Ok. I lied. Actually I've made that up, but the links is this anyway...

          Thanks, but I wasn't clear in my question. I want know how i can add raspbian in main menu of retropie like any other emulator, or in menu of ports. By the way, i can have a system that boot first in retropie, and then where i can choose an emulator, or instead it launch raspbian.

              @zequico Hmm. Sorry. I wasn't clear in my answer either. You see. It's not obvious if you don't read crucial parts of the documentation or you don't understand much of how Retropie works, as myself as well p, but Raspbian is already there lying beneath Retropie. It only lacks the User Interface, so called Desktop. (Pixel as of now). Ahh... So many terminlogies, so little time for playing...

              Anyway. Now, knowing this lil detail, possibly will be easier to understand and follow Dankcushions specific links. ;)

                      @zequico Are you using a VPN? That might be causing your issue.
