      I downloaded Attract mode in the experimental packages. Got it running from the command line. Is there a way to get it to boot to Attract Mode instead of ES? Thanks!

        @challenger2010 You'd have to amend the autostart config file to include attract mode instead of emulationstation. This post here describes how to amend the config for Kodi to launch first and I think the command for attract mode is attract

          I ended up changing /opt/Retropie/config/all/autostart.sh. Within this file I changed the word Emulationstation to attract. Worked great! Thanks!
