Boots past retropie splash screen
-
I installed retro pie and it seemed to go OK. When I boot I see the retro pie splash screen for a second but that's all. It then finished the normal boot and goes to the basic raspain screen. What did I do wrong??

Sorry, I'm kind of new to this. I thought I read that page, not sure what I missed??

at command prompt, type sudo raspi-config
select option 3 in menu (Boot Options)
select option B1 (Desktopp/CLI)
select option B2 (Console Autologin) -
@jay you didn't provide any details of your set up - see the list of information to provide when asking for support.

Sorry, my bad. My system information is:
Pi4 2GB
My power supply came with the Pi4
retropi 4.6
Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website (retropie-buster-4.6-rpi4.img.gz)
SNES USB controllerI thought that after installation it would boot to retropie, but after the retropie splash screen it goes to the normal pi screen. I tried the suggestion to change the boot option but now it just boot to the command line. Am I misunderstanding how it should start?

@jay The RetroPie image boots to EmulationStation by default - did you modify other configurations (besides the boot options mentioned above) on your system - like the
config.txt
file ? -
I did not think I edited any files, surely nor config.txt. It currently looks like...
