      I followed the topic to install retropie on my odroid xu4. Unfortunately, the system starts but leaves me in a text window. The only thing I can do is launch retropie-setup. No way to know where is the general system that lists the games and launch it!

        Did you enable Emulationstation to automatically start at boot (as detailed on the page) ?

          yes but it does not start, I followed the topic scrupulously. What is the script or program to run?

            a simple question should I use tty1 because on other websites, they use tty2 to make an automatic start?

              From your description, it looks like auto-login is working - is that right ? The autostart should add a file in /etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh that will start Emulationstation by executing the /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh.
