      Hi,

      In retropie's command line, whenever i write 'emulationstation' it launches to ES straight away, no matter which dir Im currently at.

      I am wondering, Is it possible to:

      1. Setup the same thing for the c64 vice emulator - to write for example 'x64' and it would get me straight into vice

      2. Setup the retropie in the way that it boots vice emulator instead of emulationstation

      I would appreciate If somebody could help me...

        @mike8906 Find out the full command to start the Vice emulator and replace the emulationstation command in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh.
        You can find out how to start Vice by looking in the c64 system's configuration, in /opt/retropie/configs/c64/emulators.cfg.

          @mike8906 If you're only interested in vice it's worth considering Combian 64: https://cmaiolino.wordpress.com/

          Combian 64 is Raspberry Pi distribution able to boot your preferite Commodore machine in just few seconds.

          It uses the brand new compiled version of Vice 3.1 to emulate all the Commodore Machines set
