@MaMikee Or this one two thoughts auto boot retropie into a game or into a slideshow Recently asked

@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...

Glad it can be helpful for others!

*** All ok now, seems a reboot cleared the situation*** Sorry, but I ran into another problem when launching the game from the autostart.sh. The atari2600 core says I haven't configured my PS3 pad (the text flashes briefly in the lower left corner), which I actually have, but from the ES gui. So, now I should probably configure the controls again. I tried to remap from the Retroarch "ingame GUI", but could not figure out how to properly do it. Could someone please tell me how can I get the controller working? Currently it's only the keyboard that works :/ edit Ok, the emulator only works with sudo, when started with autostart.sh. If there's no sudo, the emulator exits just before the game should start. I guess, my PS3 pad is now configured for the pi user (the default user for ES), but not for root? Just my guessing here... Any clues, how make the emulator works with sutostart.sh without sudo? Thanks :)

What do you mean when you pick an emulator. You usually pick an emulator after selecting a rom. Do you mean when selecting the system it automatically opens a rom?

Sorry. My mistake. This is why it's confusing when people add to other posts. I believe it's the case issue as @meleu has said.

Oh - Also in the other thread it was mentioned that your command line is wrong. Retropie should be RetroPie. Case sensitive. See https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5307/command-line-command-works-but-doesn-t-work-if-i-put-it-into-a-script
