@mitu Sorry for the delay in getting back to you and thank you for posting. Between work and being new to this, it took me a bit to get to the runcommand log (used winscp). I am positive I am using lr-mame2003, made sure to check through each step/popup and downloaded the romsets labeled as being 0.78. Checking the file, I do see where it says I am missing files and the game won't run. I thought that was weird seeing as the game worked previously the other day. (tmnt: the arcade game, (tmnt2po and tmnt couldn't get turtles in time working as its upside down), my friend owns the actual machine though it's since become a large paperweight, this pi is for him) However, I did delete and try to add the games again though usb drive (with light) and it still didn't work. I decided to try uploading the same games through winscp....and now tmnt the arcade game works again no problem. Perhaps this is a usb or card issue or something else? Not sure why it would work one minute and not the next. Here's hoping these versions work for a while. Sorry if I wasted your time.

@xvo said in Can anyone help me, strange things happening at boot:

without ever using ssh again... :(

Changing the default password should be sufficient...

You could also just add them to the gamelist entries for each game?

@jackknife18846 You could try expanding the filesystem if the card has more unused space.

@mitu thank you, appreciate the insight

@sano In fact ;)

But well ... I know nobody who does not like MegaMan aka RockMan
He's 31 years old ;) And I spent hours of gaming with the first GameBoy title ;) So I'm not a fan of the first hour .... but well it's never to late to for the little blue hero.

btw: Sorry for bombing this thread - the TS may forgive me...

@spudsmctoole just so you know, you can put cycles as first thing under [autoexec] and remove the [cpu]. All the settings can be done this way. They just have to be before you mount the drives.

@lollo1410ap You need to provide more information about your set-up and what you are launching as detailed when you registered on the forum - Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

I'm in agreement here, kios/kid mode would be perfect.

Just hope none of them enter the konami code.

@dankcushions said in Mupen-glide crashing:

@quicksilver no problem :) my understanding with a beefier power supply (eg, the official raspberry pi one), you can still use that case.

I wonder if that would even work. Like I said I never had issues with the lightning bolt icon showing up except while running cpu-burn (probably not many people running that). Only running mupen64-glide for long periods of time revealed that the nespi case was causing power fluctuations. All other emulators seemed to run fine and I have been using the case for over two months now. There are probably a lot of people who think that by making the lightning bolt icon go away that they have solved their voltage issues with the nespi case, but I would bet that they havent actually solved it.

I tried to do the same actions, and then I tried to fix it by this tutorial but it didn't help me anyway. what else could you suggest? thanks

Thanks! Deleting the .cfg files did it. I was dumb and left out the fact that, though it was a clean install of retropie, I coped my roms dir over from another machine. I either forgot or never new that mame2003 stored those cfg files below the roms dir.

@elshiftos spectrum scraping works just fine with screenscraper. I've uploaded a ton of box scans but nowhere near a complete set. It is picky with the filenames though so maybe check on the website that you're romnames are correctly named?

@dankcushions said in mame2010 - aspect ratio:

update lr-mame2010 from source. that always gets you the latest (will take ~1hr+ to build on a pi3)

I think I might wait for the coming fixes to 2010 high scores that I hear is being looked into in the next couple weeks.

This discussion ( https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16419/new-mame2010-folder-structure ) has me concerned about jumping on the latest 2010 just yet as well.

@herb_fargus I'll be honest, I haven't got a clue what you just told me :(

@BUZZ has the best solution, it just takes some execution. I recently was able to make it work like so:
(I'll provide the shortest answer I can first, with additional details about what didn't work if you care.)

Download and install Ext2Volume Manager drivers. These allow your Windows PC to read a mounted Linux EXT2/3 file system.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/files/Ext2fsd/

Complete online (free) registration for the AccessData FTK Imager. I'm using an older version (3.4.3), they're up to 4.2 now. I assume 4.2 works, but I know 3.4.3 works.
https://accessdata.com/product-download/ftk-imager-version-4.2.0

Make sure you've installed and run the Ext2Volume Manager program. It doesn't have to have the GUI actually running, but you do have to authorize the drivers to run. If you've rebooted since installing it, and didn't choose to autorun on Windows startup, you may have to open the program again. If the rest of this doesn't work, it's probably because the drivers aren't installed/activated.

Open the Access Data FTK Imager program and under File, select Image Mounting.

5.) In the "Mount Image To Drive" window, select your RetroPie.img file. It can be stored locally on your PC, or accessed over the network (thank goodness.) It's actually fairly quick over the network.

Once it scans the .img file - !!!THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! - under the "Mount Method" drop down box choose "Block Device / Read Only".

Press the "Mount" button and the two partitions will be mounted as new drives, both readable. ASSUMING YOU INSTALLED THE Ext2Volume Manager drivers in step one.

Browse and copy the files you need to wherever you want.

Everything below this is just FYSA.

-There is an option to make the mounted files read/write. It does work, as long as you choose a temp location. However I'll be damned if I can figure out how to recombine the two mounted drives back into one bootable .img file once you've modified them. I'm sure there is a way, and I'm going to work on it. I'll update if I figure it out. At least now you have a way to extract copies of files (i.e. video snaps, images, ROMs, etc.)

-The alternative to Access Data FTK Imager is supposed to be "Mount Image Pro" (another forensics kit.) It installs, but consistently crashed for me when I tried to open a networked .img file. Additionally, it requires you to register as well, but you only get a 30 day trial evaluation once you do.

@creativename i only use the canakits except in my pistation build which need to run a hub and a hdd off of the same power supply and the canakit isnt enough. I use two canakits on my apple iie pi.

@mitu Seems a bit odd to launch a shell script for the sole purpose of launching another shell script, but it works. Thank you
