USB troubles !

@anthony-gandolfo Sorry, I edited the post after the initial version and I added the bit about latest Raspbian not being compatible yet with Retropie.

I'd second @herb_fargus suggestion to start with the image provided by Retropie and it will be easier for your.

@mitu I got WinSCP to recognize the host by naming it raspberrypi. but I'm not sure how to transfer the game systems onto the raspberry pi. I see where they are listed, but drag and drop doesn't seem to be working.

anthony.gandolfo

yeah, how do I get the game systems to be seen on my Pi?

@anthony-gandolfo Systems won't show up until you have ROMs in the appropriate folders. If you have transferred ROMs you need to restart to get them to show up. Not to be rude but these are all very basic questions which are fully answered in the docs. You should do some reading first and if you hit a wall people will be happy to assist. Read this. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation#transferring-roms

@jonnykesh I'm not offended. I am very new to this. I got a few roms downloaded and I think I may have figured it out.

@anthony-gandolfo I wasn't trying to be. It's just worth a bit of reading. It'll save you a few headaches and frustration. People here will definitely help you but most won't hold your hand.

@jonnykesh All so, once you get into the way RetroPie works, you will find a world of info and helps. All the folks have built up a rich database of helps and settings. I like to read thru post I have no direct interest in but end up learning something new and usefull.

Ok.

glennlake

@steviejoe360 Are you referring to "Spelt" also known as dinkel wheat, a species of wheat cultivated since 5000 BC?

ortsac

@glennlake "spelt" is also the past tense of "spell" as in spelled or spelt.
