Okay .. I’ve ran into some other issues.

As I have two SNES USB controllers, I decided to add another controller in the config, so far so good.
At the same time, I followed this guide:

EMU=’emulationstation’

if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep $EMU > /dev/null
then
echo “already running”
else
echo “starting up emulationstation”
/home/pi/RetroPie/EmulationStation/emulationstation
fi

and in /etc/inittab

replace
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty –noclear 38400 tty1
with
c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -a pi -8 -s 38400 tty1 linux

In order to get my EmulationStation to launch at start-up, as I didn’t check this option in the initial setup (Not even sure it was there?).
Either way, now, I get this big wall of text in the beginning, and then, as it looks like it starts to boot into X, small dots show up, and the entire screen freeze in a glitched state, with wavy lines all over. Although, I can kinda make out the default Raspberry Pi wallpaper in the background.

Now, as I’m really new to linux overall, is there any way to fix this? I mean, I really want it to boot into EmulationStation to begin with, but in this “torn” screen state I can’t do anything at all (Not even CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE works).
