@mitu This means that we must switch in full mode to show mature content, but this mode is already used to show Retropie options, ES options, others maintenance scripts and games that are not perfectly working. This is not usable for a clean playing mode.

@jayuni100 see here:

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-would-i-start-from-command-line-say-the-snes-emulator-by-itself

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ "<SYSTEM>" "<ROM>" To automatically start a specific system and a game directly instead of EmulationStation, you need to edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh and add the above line (again replacing the variables with your own values). Then, in the same file, remove any line containing #auto entirely to avoid EmulationStation or KODI to autostart again.

I've been reading a littl emore and it seems it is possible to ignore the screens edid data. Instead I can use an edid.dat file with the values I want.

I think I have to add hdmi_ignore_edid and hmi_edid_file to config.txt

The only thing I don't know is how to create a an edid.dat file with the correct information.
If someone knows (or even better, give me a better edid file) how to do this I think this problem is solveable.

@mitu ok great! Glad I wasn’t messing something up

@herb_fargus the scraper only grabs metadata and box art, not wheel art or video snaps, correct? Thanks again for the quick replies you guys are the best.

@rrs run the command in the post directly above yours. It tells you how to do it.

Thanks BuZz! That made it. I hope it will now stay like that in the future.

@stingjay you clearly did not read the message that is on top of every single page of this forum:
Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

We have good docs here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

I am really amazed with how easily we can set a retrogaming machine on a cheap board and completely with a free software.

Hey, sorry to keep this issue open for so long.
I was working on a cleaner re-implementation of this, but got bogged down in debugging.
I got very frustrated with it all for a while, and decided to let this lie for a while.

Currently, I am working on theming the system carousel on the main screen. Once that is in reasonable shape, I will start working on this again. I am now able to build (and debug!) on windows which has revitalized my development process a bit, so there's still hope!

Thanks for holding out for such a long time.
