    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.

                  @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 ?

                    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.
