@mitu I deleted them all. Thank you so much it finally worked. Too scared now to try and play speccy games incase it happens again!

Thank you for your support!

I can't find anything relevant to permissions. I've changed the title.

Now, to continue on your problem - add some info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. In particular, what version of RetroPie are you using and how did you install it ?

A little progress - there is very little, if any, documentation on using fs-uae in RetroPie.
I tried running a few games and kept getting a message that it wanted kick1.3.rom, so I renamed the kickstart 13. rom kick1.3.rom and then I would get a kickstart 1.3 splash screen but no more progress. I tried a few more games and finally Lemmings seemed to load, however this gets stuck at the Load Disc 2 screen?

So this is probably a configuration / path problem however I don't know how to resolve it?

@vasquez109 said in Pi information:

Erm...I dont have a gamelists folder. Is that the cause? I do have a retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\gamelists\ folder though. If it is the one, every folder within there has a gamelist.xml file in. Is it the one in 'zxspectrum' im deleting? As that was the system I was using when it all went wrong?

Oops. Posted this on the wrong thread. Having an awesome day today! haha

@mitu ok good to know, i'll blow everything away and start from scratch. i must have glazed over the part about it not being supported on a DE. Also i was never planning on using vnc for it and figutred it would never work, was just using it for troubleshooting and setting up other things unrelated to retropie, im just to lazy to switch the input on my monitor :P

thanks for the info to you both, much appreciated.

@windg usbmount is included in the image, but not in the manual installation. if you install via a manual installation, as it appears you have done, you will have to manually install it after the fact via the packages menu.

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Which MAME emulator are you using ?

@muldjord success! I updated and scraped and all the culprits were found correctly (two weren't but they always were tricky ones to scrape so not an issue).

Many thanks for the heads up!

Perfect! Thank you so much!

The save file is done by RetroArch, which I haven't heard or see to work that (doesn't matter the which core is used).

@IowaBrewer I know its a bit late but i had these issues with my old pi2 it was the cheap nasty usb cable i was using. I bought a decent one and my power supply's worked well. The same thing happens with the dirt cheap hdmi cables as well sometimes.

Your disk (sdcard) is also full, so clear up some space (delete some roms maybe) before attempting to run anything.

Try resetting the retroarch.cfg - the global configuration file - in \\retropie\configs\all. Replace it with the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist from the same folder.
However, if you used a remap/input override, this won't help.

Thank you ,however I still can't use my gasia controller wirelessly without custombluez installed. So I am trying to install custombluez.

@mitu Sorry about that, like I said I'm new to this- I really appreciate your patience. I just chose to start Emulation Station at bootup and have gone into RetroPie setup and can see it now works fine. Thanks for your help, I can find youtube clips for now for help installing roms. Have a good night, thanks again :)

So I went back and looked it up. It was in the autostart.sh. I deleted a line and it works and I still get to keep my background music. Thanks for your time :).
