      @philcomm First off, I'm sorry that your OSK as originally engineered looks like it won't be accepted --- but I wanted to thank you for really moving the ball forward on this, because it looks like the python-based one will make it through as per recent comments on the PR. This is going to save a lot of people time and frustration and you should get a large chunk of the credit.

      For fun last week as I was setting up my Zero2W I connected via SSH to it and attempted to enter Wifi via my phone using the existing infrastructure by executing RetroPie-Setup directly. Although in theory this seemed like a good idea, the WiFi won't drop and reconnect to a new network when you're using that connection for the terminal session, turns out. So, still very clunky.

      Will check out your music suggestion, and also the new OSK coming down the pike. Thanks so much.

      I think I might have found some quirks around the safe shutdown script with the Zero2W around pin allocation and interaction with WiFi but I want to do some more testing this week before making further topics or inquiries about it here. I also will share some additional script suggestions / observations too.

      @thorr69 said in RetroPie Menu Missing:

      @hyperstarr YOu need to add games to the roms folders. For example, if you put a game in the NES folder (roms/nes) then the NES will show up as a system in the carousel. The carousel auto-hides systems that have no games.

      Brilliant, thank you very much!

      @common763 RetroPie has kiosk mode which does exactly this for its interface. You can make changes in full UI and then run in kiosk mode most of the time. You can quickly jump in and out of UI modes.

      But is it likely to happen that there will be something like such an emulator/interpreter on Retropie?

      Unless there's already an emulator/interpreter that works, not likely to happen.

      @benmclean
      That's awesome! However, what I've really wanted (and can't believe is not there) is an OSK built into ES. Like when ES throws up a dialog that requires text input...see Kodi for examples. It should be pretty easy. I can program but I haven't programmed in 15+ years. It would take me about 6 months to figure out to get an environment setup to start working on it, then another month to familiarize myself with ES code, then maybe a week to actually code it. I've created an OSK in a script before.

      It's just an array of characters. Display the array. 'Earmark' the current position in the array onscreen. Get left/right/up/down input. Move earmark in the array and onscreen. Get 'enter' input. Copy content of current position in the array to the text field.

      It would be so nice to be able to edit game metadata from within ES without a keyboard.

      Ok thanks a lot, I see what was wrong.
      In fact I was lauching emulationstation from the .xinitrc file because I wanted to avoid using openbox. But is seem not to be possible. To make it as clean as possible I edited my files like so:
      /home/pi/.initrc

      exec openbox-session

      This will start an openbox session in X and trigger the autostart file that i edited like so:
      /home/pi/.config/openbox/autostart

      xterm -fg white -bg black emulationstation -fullscreen

      This will lauch emulationstation in a black xterm terminal in fullscreen which is used to display the file manager or retropie setup.

      Looks like an error starting it, can you post the /dev/shm/runcomand.log file contents ?
      Also, please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      @mitu Ah, since @MISTERHOLLYW00D wrote that he knows that kodi or ports could be added to the main carousel, I though @BuZz's answer only pertained to game roms.

      @xgamer020 Please open a separate topic and describe your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
      If you experience the same symptoms as in the current topic, then I'm afraid that the advice would be similar - backup and re-image.
