      When I boot up the system I'm always beeing send to "cmd" and I looked in the forum and they said to get back to the "normal GUI or Setup" I should type: emulationstation
      That's it, however when I type it in the screen get's black for a while and then I'm just beeing send to the "cmd" again. That's it nothing else, no Error message, no nothing just: "pi@retropie:"
      What's the problem, or what am I doing wrong?

                @JHNTR Yes thanks.

                You cannot power a RPI3 from a USB port of a TV. Also please confirm how many Raspberries you see on boot.

                    @JHNTR Then the issue is most likely your power source. If you still have trouble with a proper PSU, the next thing would be to check the image was written currently, and that the sdcard isn't faulty.
