When retropie start I can't play because it show me the cmd and I need a command
-
Hello(excuse me for the syntax errors,I'm french ),when I start retropie,it show me the cmd/terminal and I don't know wich command can start retropie with the cmd/terminal or remove that.I have a raspberry pi 3 model B,I use a keyboard,I have a micro sd with 64go and 20MB/s for write speed and 80MB/s for reading speed,my retropie version is the 4.1 and I haved use the image of retropie.If you don't know do it just tell me how remove retropie on the sd card with the cmd/terminal,I will reinstall it after.

@zinox2099 enter "emulationstation" without the quotes, no space. When in the GUI go to setup and set the Pi to boot automatically to Emulation Station.

Thanks but when I write emulationstation it show me nothing except pi@retropie:'' §

@zinox2099 Check on the forum. A lot of people have posted similar issues recently and had them solved.
-
I'm having the exact same issue! Don't know what to do next. I've unplugged and replugged it in and same screen.
-
So what I do now ?
-
@zinox2099 click on the terminal tag on this very post. Might be a solution there. There are 10 entries.

I wouldn't say recently....this has been plaguing me for months ever since Retropie 3.8 maybe 4.0.
Also absolute silence on my topic I created describing the same exact thing. I think this is the same thing, because if I'm understanding the OP correctly, when he types "emulationstation" nothing shows up (i.e. the keyboard doesn't work...just like my persistent issue).
I'm extremely active (well, reading at least) on multiple RetroPie forums and haven't seen a single thing to fix this specific issue besides reformatting and re-imaging and starting from scratch (and hope it doesn't happen again).

I already watch but I still don't know how do it
-
@zinox2099 Are you using the correct image and power supply?
-
@Dochartaigh It has been a recurring issue. However I think a few have been from people simply baffled by the CLI. My first advice is always "type emulationstation"...
-
Yes I use the correct image
-
@rbaker I remeber seeing maybe here or reddit someone saying they just installed an older image then updated it and it fixed it for them. Is it possible the latest image has an issue that isn't happening for everyone but is there nontheless?
-
I don't know

I agree it's common. But I think it's definitely two separate issues. The more common is RetroPie launching to terminal on purpose (which with a quick setting fix can be turned off and work normally....or have them use the correct image is another common culprit I think ;)
The second, and way more crippling issue is RetroPie/EmulationStation crashing to terminal every time, then having no keyboard work, and being left with only SSH access...(and in my particular case no deal of apt-get/update/upgrade, no amount of "[re]install from source/binary" with the packages will bring the device back to life - simply have to reformat and start from scratch again, sadly).

Okay but when you write on a sd card,if you formate the sd card you lost your GB and you can't put nothing on it
-
@zinox2099 If the card appears smaller than it is this is because Windows cannot see the Ext4 partiton. Only the FAT32 boot partition of around 60MB. You need to reformat the card using SD Formatter and set "resize" option to on. Don't use windows built in card formatting tool.

Thanks ! I go try it

Thanks but do not worry I already have it but what I do for the format type ?
