Awesome, thanks a bunch dude. This is a good setup, appreciate the help.

@mitu oh ho, I know it's not supported. I tried it as my main configuration for a while and eventually it just would not start any games at all. I'm hoping that because it's on a secondary sd card it'll fix the issues i previously had.

If i had a choice, I would totally prefer to have it on top of raspbian but, whatever.

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 It worked! Thank you!
