It won't work if you remove the SD to plug in another computer because files under /dev/shm are RAM based, which means that they only exist while the raspi is on.

@mvgilpatrick your chances to get help increases if you open a new thread specific to your issue. Be sure to give as much info about your setup as possible (good advice on how to get help here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ).

Showing ways to reproduce your issue always helps.

I believe I am.. I've not ventured into 3rd party emulators just yet other than ports.

@c_death Glad you got it figured out. I got mine figured out as well. I had to follow the instructions here:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Bluetooth-Controller

Under the Keep bluetooth scanning part I had to add the line "sudo hciconfig hci0 up piscan" to sudo nano /etc/init.d/rc.local

Now it picks it back up every time it goes to sleep.

@Mr.-Pig you can't just extract the image to the SD card. Read the documents on this page on how to install. You need to write the image to the SD card so it becomes a bootable disc. This is basically the first thing in the documents. It looks like you haven't read them at all.

@jdrassa @ruckage this would be an excellent addition! I believe we had this discussion about a month ago and having the ability to have wheel art and also possibly thumbnail to allow box art, 2wheel art, screenshot all to be displayed!

@jdrassa, I know this is a huge undertaking and not an immediate request, but if you do look into this, making the md have a true false option would be excellent. I am going to release a "special edition" of my theme so that users with wheel art in there "marquee" line of the gamelist can see that instead of the second system logo. If the md_marquee tag was True false, this could all be handled under one theme release.

Thanks as always for you great work, and indeed no rush on my thoughts.

To recapitulate, EmulationStation always crashes on startup when I have "ParseGamelistOnly" set to "true" with the following message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
what(): basic_string::sucbstr: _pos (which is 27) > this->size() (which is 22)
aborted

I'm using the latest EmulationStation version compiled from source to be able to use custom carousel themes. Of course I could just leave that setting set to "false" but that defeats the point of having the option.
Any ideas of what could be causing the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm struggling with arcade emulators and romset ... Is it possible to go only with lr-fbalpha instead of mame ? (Can't find a clean romset including scrapped images for 0.02.97.40, so it's a kind of puzzle game)

Thanks very much

Panic over everyone.

I run an ls -a on the folders and found the cause of the problem, the files were hidden with a "._" prefix making them hidden.

Removed all those and the system returned to normal.

Thanks all.

@Kangool19 said in RetroPie & KODI:

Ok just found a solution now it works.

Used this way:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install kodi

After that period no problems at all.

THX

good job ;) i am happy it finally works for you.

@RedOwen1177 Try ifconfig your Pis IP will / should show under wlan0

@KillerQ It would just go in the same folder as the other roms, so if it's a folder called "favourite" within the NES directory, it would be placed in nes/favourite/favourite.gb, then in the gamelist.xml the path would be <path>./favourite/favourite.gb</path>.

@kjcraig77 Wrong place to ask, man. Go ask the person that uploaded the image you have. I'm sure he/she/they provides great support.

@NovaTheMighty

Unfortunately, there have always been emulation issues regarding this game. Before 2004 it was completely unplayable on any emulator past the abandoned factory. It might help to raise this issue over at the libretro forums, as they're more likely to have insight into the nuts and bolts of this.

@stevefo Glad you figured it out.

@kmickelow I am no part of Kodi Foundation or Team, I just make Raspbian compatible Kodi packages for a while now, and make them available for anybody that wants to use it in Raspbian based systems like RetroPie.

Kodi 17.3 is now available for update.

For anyone that stumbles upon this post in the future, the fix was to delete all instances of gamelist.xml (can be found by issuing sudo find / -name gamelist.xml), the downloaded images sudo rm -fv ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/nes/*, and then ran the command again.
