RetroPie is built on a program called Emulationstation (ES), and you have to start ES to run RetroPie. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like many other programs you installed on your Pi through the terminal. Or you could go to the LX terminal, located on the desktop, and type “sudo” something, right? Well, you would think that after installing it, there would be some sort of icon or way to launch it from the desktop on Raspbian. So let’s say you are a beginner like me and you installed RetroPie on your Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, through Raspbian using the manual setup script. And, you are trying to figure out how to start it up so you can play some games. This post is in reference to my post on installing a Retro Gaming System on the Raspberry Pi 3. How to start Emulationstation, that was installed manually from the RetroPie script, on Raspbian, for Raspberry Pi 2/3 (updated 7/26/16).
