Very useful information. This helped me figure out a similar issue I had.

I'm kinda in a rush

Retropie requires you to read the instructions that are comprehensively written and it's not a boot and play solution. If you have no time, it's the wrong project for you. 99% of all your questions are covered in those docs.

@mitu thanks for the tips!

sounds like your memory stick just failed. It happens, and probably has nothing to do with retropie or the raspberry pi. just coincidence.

thank you so much. i searched for like 2 hours for a solution before posting and that was super easy fix. again thanks a million

@astridrondero read the link / guidelines posted above (and agreed to when registering on the forum) and start a new topic providing the information requested.

Same thing for me. Plugged into my Insignia 1008p TV in my office it looks fine but plugged into my 4K Sony TV I see those red lines and red dots all over the place. No idea why its doing that. Using official pi power supply on a Pi2. Tried 2 different HDMI cords, same issue on the 4K tv.

@proxypunk said in SMB mounting only works at command line!:

Makes sense...
Feel free to throw RTFMs at me. ;)

I'd rather throw books about basic logic at you. ;)

@herb_fargus Being a long-time *buntu user, I'm absolutely with you on the root/sudo issue. A note may prevent some questions, though. Do as you please. :)

Hi, if I use a regular snes controller usb design I can back out of Dreamcast the usual way start and select but when I use a wireless Xbox I have to use the center button? How can I change this, the pad is also the start button so if I’m playin I keep pausing by accident...how can I remap these?

I set up my own Retropie and customized the hell out of my image by reading a TON of information that is all available on the net without asking a single question. If I had a problem, I searched until I found my answer. Sure there is a lot of information, but you will always find an answer. Just a matter of taking the time to read. Google is the best source ! :-)

@zerojay : thank you for that explanation ! helps a lot here.

Just in case someone stumbles upon this thread while searching, I was able to fix the issue by clearing out my "Nvram" folder. Apparently it had some corrupt data in it.
