If you mean "how do I make the Pi auto-login to Retropie" then: sudo raspi-config Choose option 3: Boot Options Choose option B1: Desktop / CLI Choose option B2: Console Autologin Select Finish, and reboot the pi.

@mitu thanks for the input. I will order the 710 from amazon. You have been most helpful, and I appreciate your patience.

No, no, I get it. I wanted the optional emulator anyway but the problem is clearly with the roms/images and not with the emulator. I appreciate the kick in the right direction. I was pretty sure I installed the supergrafx emulator but it wasn't showing up when I was selecting it in the list. After installing it manually from the source it came up as selectable and showed the problem was not emulator related.

@mitu thank you dude I'm gonna check it , have a nice day :D
