Thanks, I will give both things a closer look. I'm not familiar with the run command, so I'll have to look into that.
Ah, this may help: http://www.retrofe.com/forum/index.php?topic=427.0
This link doesn't work for me.
I followed the links to your posts above and saw you asking about directly booting RetroFE and hiding boot text. You can modify the /opt/Retropie/config/all/autostart.sh file as MisterB suggests to boot to RetroFE. Here's how to hide the boot text https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text.
The link isn't working, because the old site is down; I made sure to save a copy on my computer before this happened.
I already had a closer look, but unless I want to change the video driver for all the emulators I guess I'll have to properly break down the SDL layers like EmulationStation does. I guess I'd better take care of that.
Thanks for the link; I'll have a closer look, and work on that as well. I want the RetroFE installation script to take care of all these things, so that after it's complete you'll have a fully operational RetroFE setup.
I did notice though that RetroPie does not look kindly upon people hosting their work elsewhere, so I'll have to see how best to handle that. Perhaps just an installation script with instructions, combined with a link to their site, and hopefully integration into a next version would be best.
