      Pi Zero 2W
      Jan 2nd 2_3 image
      powered from a battery pack and then from USB
      USB accessories: Game pad or keyboard

      I'm trying to get i2S sound to work on my zero and not having much luck. So I thought I'd start from scratch using the weekly build. I downloaded the image and used raspberry imager to put it on the SD card. It copied fine so I loaded the sd card up in my Pi and turned it on. It went though everything as it has for older images but then dumped me to a terminal prompt instead of auto loading emulationstation.

      I was a bit stumped as to what happened until I saw this:

      /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh: line 1: emulationstation: command not found.

      All that is in my autostart.sh file is:

      emulationstation #auto

      And of course I don't have the older version of the autostart.sh file to compare because I erased it when I remade the SD card.

      I am a newbie so I apologize if I've missed some thing obvious but is something missing from this image? In googling for an answer I saw someone suggest just typing emulationstation at the prompt to start it up but I got a command not found. I'm not sure if that advice is too old to work now or maybe I'm not in the right directory?

        @harold_99 There may be an issue with the weekly build. Try running a basic install from RetroPie-Setup again:

        cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup
        sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
        # choose basic install
