Got it working, by unplugging the Raspberry and plugging back in to power.

@obsidianspider

I'm from the UK. And It's cost me somewhere in the region of about £40-£50 due to the scarcisty of Powerboost 1000 over here.

My soldering Iron was temp regulated. It served me well.

Went out and got a new soldering iron and ordered a new powerboost and Pi Zero.

I'm still confident I can break them out.

Found a nice little walkthrough

end a piece of #20 to #24 copper wire so it just fits around the LED or resistor, then heat that with the tip of your soldering iron.

The wire will carry heat to the pads on both ends of the component, melting both at the same time. Then you can slide the component off the pads. It's a lot faster and easier than trying to lever a component off with only one side free.

Clean any excess solder off the pads with solder wick, then re-tin before adding the jumper.

30 gauge wire works well for the jumpers. It can carry more than enough current for an LED, and is flexible enough that you won't risk pulling the pad off the PCB.

Bend about 1mm of the wire back on itself and press the wires together with pliers/tweezers to make a tight U, dip it in flux, then melt a bead of solder into the U. The capillary action between the wires will hold more solder than a straight run of wire, and the paired wires will act like a small pad. Place the tinned U on the pad, heat it with your iron, and you should get a good joint.

I've got the broken powerboost I'm gonna practice on.

Let's hope

Thanks alot for the reply!

However, that line already a hashtag before it. Listed as :

Forces cropping of overscanned frames. Exact behavior of this option is implementation specific. video_crop_overscan = true

in opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg upon opening file.

Edit: Hashtags in my .cfg file are not listed when copy, pasted here. I will link my .cfg via pastebin.

Edit #2: I was able to disable overscan for Fceumm nes emulator via editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-video-modes.cfg and changing the command

"fceumm_overscan = enabled"
to
"fceumm_overscan = disabled"

I am not sure if this is a detrimental option, but it has solved my problem thus far.

Yes it works good now.
Thanks.

@spannernick1 not sure when it came out but i updated vice yesterday and it made a mess of everything config wise so i reverted back to my old version.

I prefer the Steven Selph scraper too. The built in scraper pretty much sucks (not RetroPie's fault, it's built into EmulationStation). The built in is too slow, and it's fuzzy logic is terrible. Whenever it doesn't have an EXACT 100% match, it prompts you for the game, even when there is only 1 game on the list. Steven's is much faster, requiring no user input. The fuzzy logic built into that one is like 99% accurate. I've not come across any mismatched games, but the scraper doesn't find them all. A lot of Japanese games just fail "hash checks". I haven't figured out a way around that, other than scrape with Selph's first, then go back in and use the built-in one.

But the other replies are correct. Before I started building my setup, I went through the WIKI and DOCUMENTATION. In fact, just about everything is already covered in the video on the homepage's link to Installation:

@mahcneto you should put configs in code blocks or else the forum will think it's styling. See the link in my signature or the compose? link when making a reply

@Pyjamarama
Sadly the scraper currently does not support Amiga:

An auto-scraper for EmulationStation written in Go using hashes. This currently works with NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBC, GBA, MD, SMS, 32X, GG, PCE, A2600, LNX, MAME/FBA(see below), Dreamcast(bin/gdi), PSX(bin/cue), ScummVM, SegaCD ROMs.

I would love to use it for Amiga games also :(

Confirmed; All working like it should now!

@CaelThunderwing sounds like another faulty / dodgy sdcard.

topic moved.

@kez colecovision is only compiled for the pi also you'll get more answers if you start your own threads with your own questions rather than hoping you'll get one by piggybacking off of a solved thread

I noticed the same thing this morning during my play for the MAME ROW. I just updated to RetroPie 4.1.1 (2ceeb8a) to try to fix it. This definitely seems like a regression. I used to be able to press Select+X to get out of RGUI and get back into the game. I know it's not RetroPie's doing. It's also been reported over on GitHub thanks to dankcushions.

@laephis apologies for the delay, it was overnight in my time zone :)

I believe that folder holds the templates, so you can use that. I was under the impression that your own config files would be in

~/.emulationstation

But if you find that your settings have been kept, them maybe the folder you mentioned also works :)

Glad to hear you're sorted out.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I don't know HOW.. but I think I managed to get the .sh file as a remnant from a previous install, and never actually INSTALLED the package. :)

I've been building my system in stages, testing out what works, etc. I have the ROMs/BIOS saved on a USB Hard Drive that will sit inside my box. That way I could remove it to make transferring everything easier. At one point, I had moved EVERYTHING to a spare "Temporary" folder on my computer. Then I slowly added stuff back one by one. The Ports were the last section. I moved over the script to launch it, but never actually installed it.

For reference, it doesn't install the data to the game in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports... it installs them to /opt/retropie/ports/smw
