I downloaded Retropie for my RPi and I'd like to configure and tweak emulationstation from my Windows laptop.

I tried connecting to the Pi with putty, but I can't run emulationstation. I get the message :

X is running. Please shut down X in order to mitigate problems with loosing keyboard input. For example, logout from LXDE.

I checked with ps axg and lxde doesn't seeem to be running, neither does X...

I also tried running it from Xming but it doesn't work (the previous message seems to indicate that emulationstation doesn't use X so I guess it's normal). I can run LXDE from it though.

So I don't know what to do...

Do: apt-get update && apt-get install xrdp

Then Remote Desktop into the pi: 0.0.0.0:3389 (0.0.0.0 is the IP of the RPi)

Then you will see a desktop, but no icons or anything (Assuming you are running RetroPie and NOT Raspbian) just right click and select "Terminal Emulator" or Open Terminal and then type "emulationstation"

That should launch it in the RDP window for you.

I have not tried this, but it should work.
