      Hi. I followed the instructions on how to install it (RetroPie) as per,


      And, now, when I reboot the system I don't get emulationstation.
      But, when I run "emulationstation" from the prompt I get these messages:

      Dec 10 09::16:02 lvl0: Error initializing SDL!
      No available video device
      Dec 10 09:16:02 lvl0: Renderer failed to initialize!
      Dec 10:09:16:02 lvl0: WIndow failed to initialize!

      One note, though, I chroot'ed the Micro SD card on my Linux system, and did the majority of the installation on it. Because I simply cannot get WiFi working on the machine.

      So, does anyone know what I may have done wrong?

      Thanks for any and all help. It's grately appreciated.

        Ok. I give up.I decided against installing RetroPie... and am now using Ares (RetroArena). So, i'll be cancelling this entry.
