      @Chadmon10 said in Retropie won't boot into a rom, tries, then goes to command line.:

      /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ megadrive "/RetroPie/roms/megadrive/Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (World).md"

      You forgot the ~ in ~/RetroPie/roms/megadrive/Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (World).md.

      @Wlcina Yes, the xpadneo driver installation already does that, that's why I recommended installing it.

      If you don't want to use the line ssh pi@raspberrypi.local 'DISPLAY=:0 retropie' and still want to run my retropie script through SSH but NOT inside your established connection, then:

      Do nano /usr/bin/retropie or nano /usr/bin/gamepad

      And add this line below #!/bin/bash or wherever it works for you.

      export DISPLAY=:0

      Sometimes emulationstation crashes but I don't want to go that deep.

      My job is completely done here. Have fun and stay safe.

      EmulationStation does not know (nor care) how the controller is connected, so there's nothing to configure there.

      You can however pause the RA software during gameplay and resume it afterwards using the onstart/onend scripts for runcommand - see here.

      @diptwit there is no desktop in retropie. You are not installing retropie. Follow the guide.

      @yaya said in Pi 4 Black Screen after autostart:

      may you should add this information into the FAQ ;-)

      That's not a bad idea - we'll have a PI4 specific page 'really soon'. Have fun !

      So I went back and looked it up. It was in the autostart.sh. I deleted a line and it works and I still get to keep my background music. Thanks for your time :).

      @mitu @Clyde That was it! I should've known and feel like such a dummy. The correct path is indeed /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari2600/Yarrev.bin

      But now I know the all-know runcommand.log :)

      Thanks a trillion! <3

      @Clyde, this is a co-workers unit and he couldn't remember all of the details about it but I think that you are correct about it being a non official retropie image. It had a very out-dated version and when I updated everything is where the issue happened. I will talk with him at work Monday, explain what happened and let him know that I will set him up with an official copy.

      Thanks to all that offered help with this issue.

      Think I figured it out. Disabled the splash through Emulation Station. Didn't realize it was in there, thought it was changed in the config script for RetroPie. Now everything works.

      @mitu

      Yes, I did what you said and I succeeded to lower boot time to 11 seconds for libretro emulator but only through autostart.sh.
      However, non-libretro emulators still starts about 5 seconds faster through the rc.local script and I dont know what else I could do here.
      It seems runcommand is a problem, because for some reason it refuses to start through rc.local properly...
