        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 :)
