Is there a work around or do I have to start again and rebuilt the pi ? I'm brand new to this thanks for the help
-
@cocoeire just update the binary again if you have updated retropie-setup.
-
@BuZz thanks I'll try this... is there an ssh command to update them both ?
-
@BuZz that worked I'm back gaming thanks so much for the help.. 👍👍👍
-
@buzz i have the same issue. How would i do this?
-
-
@mediamogul thanks. Will try the command as i can't get into ES.
I get this message after trying to update retropie:
Retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation: error while loading shared libraries: libbrcmEGL.so:cannot open shared object file no such file or directory -
Browsing over your history, it looks like you're on borrowed time until you have to start over from scratch. Pre-built 3rd party images are not only illegal, but the people who set them up usually don't know or care what they're doing. It makes for a lot of extra work for us, so I hope you'll respect our policies and seek help from the people who sold you the setup in the future. You've been warned about this issue earlier and you're risking removal if you continue to ignore it. If you ever decide to start over with a clean image from this website, we're always more than happy to help you.

@mediamogul Listen , i don't appreciate the tone you're taking. I was looking for a retro games machine for a Christmas present for myself. I went halves with a family member. I looked thru many adverts on FB and online. I had no idea these small 'companies' or people selling retropie are doing it illegally.
But also i would have no idea to put together a hdmi wifi box with a 360gb Harddrive. So please spare me the warnings like i'm some criminal. I just wanna play Chuckie Egg on the Sinclair. Or Road Rash on the Megadrive. If you can't help, fine. But i've seen others with nearly exactly the same problem and there is no high horse judgement going on. Just people trying to help. -

I hope it works out for you.

I understand your frustration, and the tone may be blunt from some of the members here, but we've spent a lot of time trying to help people only to find the people who build these machines have cocked something up so royally, the only way to fix it is to start from scratch.
I would suggest that as a first port of call, go back to the person you purchased it from and ask them.
Failing that, you will only get support from here without issue by reimaging the card to the stock image from here (which has no games installed).
Sorry, but you've been burnt by an unscrupulous seller ☹️
-
I love Xmas... More people being scammed by rip-off merchants, then expecting others to sort out their mess. I actually feel bad for this guy but rules is rules and zero tolerance to TP images is the correct way to go.
Use the stock, official image and people here will break their necks to help you if they can. That's the best advice you'll ever get. -
@jonnykesh so let me get this right....i get the image from here that has no games on it. Then what? I get the emulators and games myself yeah? So do you then pay for the emulators and games?
Genuine question. -
@simonster i haven't been scammed, this was my own doing. The machine works fine i just need to correct the directory it is looking for. I am 36 , i had a lot of the games that are on this retropie. You know, I paid for the games with my money when they originally came out. I'm not some thief. I just want to relive some of those games.
If you don't want to help i get it. But don't act all high and mighty with me. 90% if not all of the people on this forum all downloaded the roms and games for nothing. What's so righteous about that?
-
@bg223 You obtain ROMs like everyone else and as a consequence learn how the system you have actually works. Game ROMs are readily available from legal and illicit sources on the net.
I would also advise you to temper the 'tude. You are about 3 posts away from being banned. To be honest I would cut your losses and either install the official image or wait until you can get support from your seller. -
@jonnykesh so all your ROMS and games are 100% legal yeah? You yourself i mean.
-
@bg223 Did I say that? Where I get my ROMs from is no concern of yours. Anyone with a device and a connection to the internet can find ROMs. Have you ever tried a search engine? I don't mean to be rude pal, but it's actually easier to obtain game ROMs than a virus these days. If you can't be bothered to do it then that is up to you. Just don't expect people here to sort the mess you paid for out.
-
@jonnykesh nah you see there it is. You probably all do the same but you want to judge. I've already paid the companies that originally made the games and subsequently went bust from people just taking them. Have you ever paid OCEAN or Superior Software or ELITE or hundreds of other companies that made these games u have?
Yeah i could learn about it more. But i honestly don't have the time or if i'm also being honest probably the intelligence. If i did i would of made my own box. So i guess well done for being clever.
If this offends u as 'tude' then fine. Buts it's just words. You can either help genuine people when they are a bit stuck or you can be a dick.
-
@bg223 I've helped plenty of genuine people on this forum. Most regulars do. Go buy a SNES Mini and do everyone a favour. It's clear no one here wants to help you. I'm out. Happy New Year to you and Yours.

^^This guy had the exact same problem. I have linux 4.4.13v7 according to the retropie spec upon booting up.
