> To achieve a more children-proof environment, I decided to run Retroarch directly from a TTY, without a graphical server.

I'd love to read more about getting that up.



It could be rendering directly to the framebuffer (e.g. `mpv playthisfromtty.mp4`).

Or they mean they used pure X (e.g. `startx`) and added a decent v-sync compositor such as picom.


it's directly using the framebuffer without X or Wayland involved. This is possible because of the SDL backend


You would like to see more specific instructions for the setup?
