@thiagodophp said in does not open is on a black screen: Hello good night, could you help me I'm new and I don't understand the forum, I have this problem There's no need to re-post the same information twice or post in other topics to get my attention. Please read https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and provide the information asked there, as much as you can - this will help us understand what's wrong with your setup.

Thanks a lot, i solved it!!!

@mitu ok thanks a lot!!!

@BenMcLean If you want someone to test, I can help. I agree that an OSK would be very useful --- now that a lot of us are sticking retropie on mobile form factors, I thought a cool scenario would be: Hop onto a plane, play some retro games. Check into a hotel, plug into the TV's HDMI, stream your home library from Kodi / Plex. I get that RetroPie may not consider itself a similar class device to a FireTV stick or something like that, but IMHO it's there as a real compelling scenario. This would make this close to the ultimate device IMHO. To keep things light, I don't want to travel with a keyboard or a ton of controllers. Controlling Kodi is pretty straightfoward with the mobile remote control scenarios they already support (Kore). But you still have to configure WiFi. A while ago I tried to follow some steps that would allow you to pair your phone to a service running on the Pi to emulate a bluetooth keyboard, but I could never get that working. So instead I ended up scripting a pretty horribile solution here (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20308/waveshare-game-hat-thoughts/21?_=1588610080231), basically running bash scripts from my phone to copy updated network settings to the Pi, falling back to the credentials to my phone's hotspot if need be and we're isolated. Turns out to you really need to shake your phone pretty hard to get these scripts running and not everyone with a smartphone is willing to root it. Anyway, apologies for diverting the topic too much here, but yes, this is a great idea.

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.

Yes, the default image has the Megadrive/Genesis emulator installed and configured.

Wow! I am literally blind how did I not see that when I looked in the config before... Thanks so much! This works perfectly!

@PhoenixFlood said in Bezel Project gone from menu: How can I get it back? Probably by re-installing it - https://github.com/thebezelproject/BezelProject.

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.

@ricbritain Just of curiosity, how did you miss it, and how did you finally find it?

@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.

@quicksilver @mitu It worked! Thanks for the help!!!

@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.

@idk From the RetroPie-Setup menu entry in Emulationstation - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/.

If the retropiemenu is missing, if it is only the pictures, reinstall it by following Retropie Setup >> Manage packages >> Core Packages >> Retropie-menu >> Install from source. If the entire menu is missing, if you have a usb keyboard attached press "F4" and type sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.shpress "enter" and follow the outlining steps above.

@John_RM_70 Try one command at a time and see which ones locks up the Pi. It's probably tvservice, but it could be because of the previous command, which specifies might specify an invalid mode. Have you tried tvservice -p (preferred mode) ?

@herb_fargus thanks Herb, i will try that next time i have to use a downloaded package. I had to do that twice over the years, once with the Initial setup (Retropie 3.3) and this year when stretch was released with 4.4.0. Usually i just make updates over the retropie setup. Thanks and a nice weekend!
