@skaterjoe25 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

Have you plugged in the controller or atleast a keyboard ?
-
@twd
yes my controller and keyboard work -
@skaterjoe25 could you elaborate how you installed your games. What can you see on the screen just the retropie setup? Without more info no one can help you
-
@twd
so after I set up the controller it brings me to the main screen where is says retropie in a white box and underneath the retro pie it shows configuration and it will not even show me no systems or anything just shows me retropie. It will let me change stuff in the setting and conntect my wireless controller though Bluetooth everything but it still says configuration under neath the retropie on the main screen where you can see all your systems. -
@skaterjoe25 you need to install some games. the systems will then appear or if you have you put your roms in. there In the wrong place
-
@twd so I transfed my games and now I see 3 retropies on my screen and the configuration
-
could any one help me out with this issue
-

@buzz
so I read the link its not helping and I don't feel giving you all this information is going to help me with my stuff. I have downloaded multiple roms on my retropie and still do not see them last time I did it showed me 3 retropies is there a certain way you have to configure your system before the games show. I can do everything but play games on my retropie -

Power Supply used: not sure
RetroPie Version Used 4.2
Built From: retropie website
USB Devices connected: keyboard
Controller used: wii u wireless controller and a keyboard
Error messages received: none just says configure on the main screen. controller works though everything works just cant play games and non of the roms I use seem to work or load on there
Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant): not sure
Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide): multiple youtube vidoes, the retro pie web site
File: (File with issue - with FULL path): no file just stuck on the configuration after the controller setup
Emulator: none
Attachment of config files: not sure
How to replicate the problem: I have downloaded the files needed for the setup then once I configure the controller on the main screen it shows configure no roms work or at least the roms that I have downloaded -
@buzz
to be a little bit more specific where it shows games downloaded it shows configure and no games downloaded -
Problem is by your description, it's hard to diag your issue. Maybe make a YouTube video of your start up to see exactly what your seeing. Have you tried USB rom transfer?
-
Let me understand this....
you set up your controller mappings at the beginning...
it goes to the strip (is it called a carousel?)
and there you see three "retropie" selections?are you are placing the roms into the correct folders?
(i.e. atari2600 roms are in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Atari2600 folder)?https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Transferring-Roms
this will tell you how to transfer roms...on the right there is a list..pick the system you want...at the top of that page shows where to put the roms -
I am putting my roms in the correct place I put the atari2600 roms in the atari2600 folder. I am using a usb to transfer my roms. Do you have to do something to your roms before you transfer them over?

I got it all figured out it turns out the roms that I were using just were not working found some that work now. thanks for the help everyone
