      @fluffypillow Retropie is still on Buster and it wasn't the default. Maybe on Bullseye it is.

        As far as the rendering API is concerned, Buster is the same as Bullseye, so nothing changed here - DRM/KMS is still used on the Pi4.

          I'm by no means a programmer but I managed to get Pegasus running on a batocera image.

          Once installed, Pegasus did not detect any of game.xml files from Emulation Station. Is there a specific path it searches? Can I manually point Pegasus to look in a specific path? I know you can for metadata.txt but did not see how to with game.xml

          Thanks!

            @kryptalivian Great! Pegasus looks for game XMLs in the directories set in its es_systems.xml file, which should be located at at ~/.emulationstation/ or /etc/emulationstation/ – the places where the official ES looks for them too. You can also set a custom path for the systems XML by adding a custom setting line to Pegasus' settings file: providers.es2.installdir: /path/to/your/dir, in which case Pegasus will look only in this dir.
