        @retrofreak89 The text is usually shown BEFORE launching ES, as the user is logged in, but the screen is now cleared before launching ES, to avoid text being flashed up when launching something for the first time etc.

        you can type retropie_welcome to get this info or log in via ssh.

          Sorry, I got that wrong - I need to check, but it's probably related to one of the screen clears or another change. I will look into it though when I have a chance.

                I still get the info when exiting - the other possibility is you removed the bash welcome tweak ? Check in RetroPie-Setup -> Configuration / Tools

                      @retrofreak89 As I said above - you have possibly removed the bash welcome tweak. You can enable it in RetroPie-Setup -> Configuration / Tools

                          @retrofreak89 post the output of this via ssh

                          cat ~/.bashrc
                          

                          use a pastebin site or put it in a code block - please do not paste it directly on the forum without it being in a code block.

                              @retrofreak89 You can't use your phone. You need to use a PC and connect via SSH. Information on using SSH is in the official documentation. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/SSH/

                                @buzz well i seem to get lucky very weird i wanted to type in the bash command u Just gave me to see what pops up and behold suddently retropie_welcome is working and also when i exit ES it pops back up weird maybe it needed a few mins for the setting to take effect?
                                Because as soon as i enabled it i tried it right away like a hundred times didnt work so i then came on here to let you know and smoked a cig and now i went back to it and its suddently its working very weird but good heh thanks for the help i learned a few things today...

                                  @retrofreak89 you probably didn't restart (the login session) - you would need to restart for it to work.

                                    I have also experienced this. I'll f4 to exit or exit from the menu and it will take me back to a blank black screen. If i type "emulationstation" and enter it will bring me back to emulationstation so the welcome screen is still there just not visible for whatever reason. If I restart and f4 again sometimes it will work sometimes it wont. It is very intermittent.

                                    Im currently on a rpi3 , 4.2.8, built from image from this site.
