      @skiierfox86 I believe that installing it will add an entry in Emulationstation from where you can start it. If you want to start it automatically instead of Emulationstation, then you'll have to edit the autostart script and replace emulationstation with attract.

            @skiierfox86 To run it, just exit Emulationstation and type attract at the command prompt.

                  @skiierfox86 Edit the /opt/retropie/configs/autostart.sh file and replace emulationstation with attract, this will auto-start AttractMode instead of Emulationstation.
