      Hello!
      I've installed Retropie 4.5.1 on Raspbian Buster Lite(latest version + updated) and if I try to run "emulationstation" I get an error about initializing SDL.
      I am using a Raspberry pi zero with a Wi-Fi dongle and a keyboard.

        Buster is not fully supported at the moment, you should use the image provided at retropie.org.uk/download, based on Rasbian Stretch. Any particular reason you're trying out Buster ?
