@mitu Great thank you for the feedback and your patience. This process has been super frustrating. I have a internet doggle ordered and otw.

@saccublenda as cunning as a rock that fella!

@dankcushions cause your jerk ifnyou cant help domt comment. Everyone reads thos github pages. They are extremely vague to people without computer knowledge. But hey if flaming new guys makes you feel smart go for it. You wont have a forum long.

Yes, I was getting the same error and don't think it was Internet connection related. However, I just got passed it by going into "Configuration/Tools" > RetroArch > Manage Assets and installed that. Still running into issues, but will work through those now. Thanks!

@herb_fargus Perfect; thanks a lot !

@ElRafilla It's not exactly the same issue - the poster didn't have any video output, you seem to have it working until launching a game. Open a new topic and add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu I apologize. I didnt know. I just ordered it with ready to play out of the box. Then I updated from source to get the newest version of everything. I didnt realize that against license or whatever. My apologies.

Everything works perfect except killer instinct and I'm just trying to change the emulator it uses to see if I can find one that works better. I guess Ill try another forum not directly associated with retropie.

Thanks

I don't see how the bashwelcometweak would affect the network (ssh) connection - it's a simple bash function that is executed after an interactive login (i.e. it doesn't affect sftp).

How are you applying the script ?

Backup your data - see Option 2 of how you can backup - and re-install.

Scraped data is kept in one of these places:

the ROMs folder (if you've used an external scraper). the \\retropie\configs\emulationstations\downloaded_images folder, if you've used only the EmulationStation internal scraper(s).

So if you take the advice in the docs and back-up your ROMs and configs folders, you should be able to keep your games and scraped data.

@Sjdhydoc said in Help with saving:

task failed: saving state

Exit Emulationstation and you'll see the disk space usage shown before the prompt. If you're near 100%, then you might have a disk full situation so cannot save?

I ended up doing a fresh install and got everything working. Thanks for the help.

thank a lot for you help
problem solved

@mitu Meanwhile every second posting is related to this "in da houz" images.

Well after a few days of searching files and experimenting on the pi, I think I've got this figured out.

What else could I say?

The .bin file is not editable in a text editor, the .cue is. Looks like the .cue is valid, check if the filename of the .bin is _exactly Final Fantasy VII [NTSC-U] [Disc1of3] [SCUS-94163].BIN.
Remember that Linux is case sensitive so
Final Fantasy VII [NTSC-U] [Disc1of3] [SCUS-94163].bin is not the same as Final Fantasy VII [NTSC-U] [Disc1of3] [SCUS-94163].BIN.

If it's not a name mismatch, then try posting the whole log file (with verbose logging turned on) on pastebin.com to take a look.

@jdoc never mind. I just switched the USB ports and they work as expected now.
