I was able to save image, emulationstation now works. Did want to mention that I thinks still buggy though. If this helps: Went to Raspi-config from menu, locked up now. Cannot navigate with keyboard. Also, you only get 1 shot to go into n64 configuration menu using "x" to enter. After the once it will not work, and got to work again by completely shutting down system.
I think the 2 are tied together, and somehow keyboard is not being registered. Hope this helps you all and thanks for your help!
