      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 " ?

          @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?

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

                    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 ?

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

                        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.
