        @backstander I paid for the full version because I thought it was a worthwhile investment to support the dev.

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

        Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

          I have the free Android app Raspi Check installed on my phone in case I need to reboot my Pi. It is a system monitoring app but does include the shutdown options to Halt as well as Reboot.

          Checking the source code, it appears the Halt option runs the command sudo -S /sbin/shutdown -h now.

            I've just been using Mobile SSH but I think I'll give the ones that @herb_fargus and @dudleydes mentioned above a try!

              @backstander ConnectBot is also worth checking out.

                I'll give that one a try as well!

                  @backstander It works great for me. Another tip is to set up bash aliases. This means when I type reboot the system gets the command sudo reboot -h now I have done this for quite a few commands as it makes it easier typing on a phone or tablet to keep it as short as possible. Here's some reading. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/bashrc.md

                    Hey, something unrelated, but kinda on topic.

                    Is there a way to use a phone as a controller for the Pi somehow?

                      @itsnitro There are Apps for Kodi that you can use your phone with. RetroPie doesn't deal with html control or CEC, afaik.

                        Aww. :(
                        I would like to see a way to do this using Bluetooth or something.

                            @itsnitro Try it. I heard it was buggy as hell and a pain to remove...

                            Let me know how you get on.

                                @itsnitro used "aggressive language" with another user.

                                  Give Unified Remote a chance
                                  The server package for Rpi ARM6 is available here >> https://www.unifiedremote.com/download/other#linux

                                  Then download the android app und you can control the server

                                  But I'm not sure if this works with RetroPie and ES behind :)
