      I added attract mode from the experimental under 4.1 but for the life of me I can't figure out how to load into it.

              @Kayumba You should be able to make it autorun attract mode is that what you want?

              If so, edit the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh so it reads like this:

              #emulationstation #auto
              /usr/bin/attract
              

              Be sure to put an # before emulationstation #auto. It will prevent the start of Emulation Station. The second line will start Attract Mode. If you want to go back to ES, just remove the # before emulationstation #auto and put it before /usr/bin/attract:

              emulationstation #auto
              #/usr/bin/attract
              

              Whichever line starts with # will be regarded as a comment and won't be executed.
