Pi zero W do nothing after run emulationstation

You need to exit the desktop environment and run it from console. Or just use the premade sd image.

@Hex
It didn't work
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo emulationstation
emulationstation should not be run as root. If you used 'sudo emulationstation' please run without sudo.

@BuZz
I tried:
sudo raspi-config
3. Boot Options > B1. Desktop / CLI > B2. Console Autologin
sudo reboot
emulationstation

But I didn't work.
Would you telling me how to "exit the desktop environment " ?

Hi,

I really want to use on Rasbian cause it's more convenient

Please help me,
thanks

[Hex]

@shaolinkhoa Just as a test, switch to one of the tty consoles accessible using Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F7.

Once in console try running the ES binary.

@Hex thank you for your help
I tried:
Ctrl+Alt+F1 in my PC
log in
ssh pi@my_pi0_IP_address
emulationstation

It's still the same

Am I right ? or you mean "the ES binary" is something else ?

Are you trying to run emulationstation from ssh?

[Hex]

@shaolinkhoa I meant you should try this on your pi and not your PC.

[shaolinkhoa]

@AluLagoa
yes, I want to run retropie from ssh.
I follow this tutorial
Is it possible ?

[shaolinkhoa]

@Hex ,@AluLagoa
I connect my Pi Zero W to a LCD via mini HDMI capable.

Then I can run emulationstation on my Pi. But It still requires a LCD monitor.

Can emulationstation run from SSH ?

[Hex]

I dont think that is possible. Might work with VNC, haven't tried though.

@Hex
I tried with VNC.
ssh to Pi , start VNC
Open VNC from my PC, open LXterminal in VNC, run emulationstation

It didn't work too.
