@Obmug If using a rpi3, you will do better to use lr-mame2003 as it's the most developed and supports more games.

Those fields are not shown on current carbon (can't remember if they were on an earlier version).

i figured it out- By default the default localization options were set for England. I changed it for UTF 8 and all is well now. I checked my wpa-supplicant.conf and saw a foreign symbol in place of my #. problem solved.

standalone mame4all ? I believe that will save scores for some games by default. the libretro core may not though. if you have a rpi2 or rpi3 I would recommend lr-mame2003

advmame may work out of the box also - or you might need to feed it a hiscore dat.

Consoles that had games which allowed saving will save - eg when you can save your progress. Ones which don't wont.

@najkks there are tons of resources on the web for how to use gparted. not very difficult. you cannot expect to have someone travel to your house and do it for you. your options were laid out, but you didnt like any of them.

The best bet is to create your image on a small SD card (maybe 8GB, or even reduce the main partition size by .5GB just to ensure that the image will fit on any 8GB SD Card you throw at it), then you will be able to put it on any card you want; 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, etc. Then you can expand it once the image is written to the card.

Kinda eager to play some games... I have not played NES games since probably the early '90s.

I think I also saw somewhere that this will play old Tandy TRS-80 games? That's what I started on back when I was about 5yrs old... doubt the games are as fun as I remembered, but looking forward to playing this game again.

Toilet paper, zombies, aliens... game had it all....

You can upload directly with the icon at the top right - or upload manually to an external site and reference it (the image icon helps)

@edmaul69 Thanks, that makes sense.

@Pyjamarama
Here's an old thread that we talked about OpenBOR:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3871/openbor-works

@washie In the Managing ROMS wiki we can see that the lr-fba-next is (currently) the fba 0.2.97.38 and you want the reference romset for this fba version...

This one is resolved.
For everyone having the same issue.
In order to enable 3rd and 4th player through joysticks, you have to first install the ps3 or Xbox controller drivers through the retro pie setup menu.
Do not input any specific button configuration inside the per console config files.

I renamed the file.

I also went to RetroArch congifuration and put the digital->Left analog to P2 and P3 (silly me!!)

It worked like a dream.

Thanx @meleu
