@herb_fargus I'll be honest, I haven't got a clue what you just told me :(

@BUZZ has the best solution, it just takes some execution. I recently was able to make it work like so:
(I'll provide the shortest answer I can first, with additional details about what didn't work if you care.)

Download and install Ext2Volume Manager drivers. These allow your Windows PC to read a mounted Linux EXT2/3 file system.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/files/Ext2fsd/

Complete online (free) registration for the AccessData FTK Imager. I'm using an older version (3.4.3), they're up to 4.2 now. I assume 4.2 works, but I know 3.4.3 works.
https://accessdata.com/product-download/ftk-imager-version-4.2.0

Make sure you've installed and run the Ext2Volume Manager program. It doesn't have to have the GUI actually running, but you do have to authorize the drivers to run. If you've rebooted since installing it, and didn't choose to autorun on Windows startup, you may have to open the program again. If the rest of this doesn't work, it's probably because the drivers aren't installed/activated.

Open the Access Data FTK Imager program and under File, select Image Mounting.

5.) In the "Mount Image To Drive" window, select your RetroPie.img file. It can be stored locally on your PC, or accessed over the network (thank goodness.) It's actually fairly quick over the network.

Once it scans the .img file - !!!THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! - under the "Mount Method" drop down box choose "Block Device / Read Only".

Press the "Mount" button and the two partitions will be mounted as new drives, both readable. ASSUMING YOU INSTALLED THE Ext2Volume Manager drivers in step one.

Browse and copy the files you need to wherever you want.

Everything below this is just FYSA.

-There is an option to make the mounted files read/write. It does work, as long as you choose a temp location. However I'll be damned if I can figure out how to recombine the two mounted drives back into one bootable .img file once you've modified them. I'm sure there is a way, and I'm going to work on it. I'll update if I figure it out. At least now you have a way to extract copies of files (i.e. video snaps, images, ROMs, etc.)

-The alternative to Access Data FTK Imager is supposed to be "Mount Image Pro" (another forensics kit.) It installs, but consistently crashed for me when I tried to open a networked .img file. Additionally, it requires you to register as well, but you only get a 30 day trial evaluation once you do.

@creativename i only use the canakits except in my pistation build which need to run a hub and a hdd off of the same power supply and the canakit isnt enough. I use two canakits on my apple iie pi.

@mitu Seems a bit odd to launch a shell script for the sole purpose of launching another shell script, but it works. Thank you

@mrsco I fixed it :)

I added "--aspect-mode fill" to the omxplayer lines and that seems to fix it.

What it looks like now:

if sub: os.system( "omxplayer --aspect-mode fill -b --layer 10010 -o both '" + url + "' " + resolution + " --vol " + str(volume) + " --subtitles subtitle.srt < /tmp/cmd" ) elif url is None: pass else: os.system( "omxplayer --aspect-mode fill -b --layer 10010 -o both '" + url + "' " + resolution + " --vol " + str(volume) + " < /tmp/cmd" )

Thanks for the help

Hello all,

After all of ur help, I mounted the Image on the SD Card and it worked. I want to thank EVERYONE here for their help and support!

@meneer-jansen My pleasure. :)

@darkroll some info on this askubuntu thread https://askubuntu.com/questions/2007/how-do-i-change-the-plymouth-bootscreen

@ranma Thanks for the final report.

@byaaah31 use lr-fceumm for nes zapper. Switch the second controller to zapper. It works better than lr-nestopia. For snes the mouse button works but movevement doesnt for me.

@maxxtc Scraped info is kept in /opt/retropie/config/all/emulationstation/gamelists (also available via file shares at \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\gamelists, each system has its own gamelist.xml that stores this info.
If you wish to remove this info, then exit Emulationstation and delete the gamelist.xml files with the wrong info. Starting Emulationstation again will re-create those files from scratch, but without any of the info you scraped.

@kgriffin said in a set up script error:

I have asked them for help regards this but have got no reply to any of my emails.

This is not surprising.

Pity you got taken advantage of. It's quite the lucrative business model to take other people's work, sell it as your own, then send the users to people you stole it from for support! Why didn't I think of this? Id be a bajillionaire!

@herb_fargus Possibly. But the display settings are correct and the aspect ratio of the splash video matches the vertical screen exactly.

@flightrisk said in IR-FBA Not Saving High Scores/Corrupts Game:

Is there a screen in RetroArch that gives all the versions in one place? If not, how can I easily get my version numbers of RA, RP and lr-fba to post

Press Select + X while in game and the RetroArch RGUI should pop up. You can see the RA and emulator's version at the bottom of the screen.
RetroPie version is shown at the top of the dialog when you start the RetroPie setup script from Emulationstation

RetroPie version

Following-up, I think the controllers are configured correctly. They are just using the default hotkey setting. It's just a little wonky-ness with the device when pressing the Select and Start buttons at the same time. It seems to take several tries, but then it does work.

Thanks for the help!

.195 romset

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/

The newer the version, the less likely it is to perform on this platform.

@buzz
As I said above "I had to unplug and repower it up, then Retropie won't reboot?"
Therefore, getting any kind of log is not possible.
This person seems to have the exact same issue I'm having so I didn't think it would hurt to jump on the thread.

I'm trying again today, with a new Retropie, and I'm repeating the same issue. I'm taking your advice and being very patient a giving it plenty of time...

Yes,,, I think it's doing something.... I got a black screen now.... I'm being patient... it's not doing anything except being a black screen for a few minutes....

SUCCESS! I hit the "b" button and Retropie is there.

Thanks for your help.

So, I got retropie installed on stretch, and it works brilliantly !!!!

So my ace girlfriend comes up trumps for my birthday and got me a pair of Official PS3 controllers for my birthday !!!!

It works fine whilst on the usb cable, but I have tried to connect it via bluetooth, both with ps3drivers installed, and uninstalled, via the bluetooth search app, it finds it fine, but then asks to enter a 6 digit code, which I obviously cannot enter

I have done everything I found on Google search, but nothing helped

Can one of you great guys help me ????
