RetroPie 4.3.17 Stretch images
-
@ekendahl00757 That's not the correct method to transfer ROMs, please look at the link from my previous post to understand how ROMs are copied to your system.
-
@mitu have done thank you for your help its much appreciated
-
Also i know its a bit of a way off but when do we think the official retro pi software will be released for the 3 b+
-
Would you be able to update from this version to whatever the next version would be? Brand new to the Raspberry Pie scene.
-
@mist17 yes.

@ekendahl00757 you can use the image on this thread then update all packages. Will be the same as when the new image is out. It will be released when it's ready. Hopefully soon.

@buzz Awesome thanks for the info!!

Hey there! Thank you for the image! I just tried migrating my data to a fresh installed stretch image, what worked just fine via usb-hdd. Now the thing is, I have a NesPi-Case. And although I know this is not recommended, I sometimes use the reset or powerbutton before a shutdown. Hell I don't do it often and when the filesystem crashes I'll install one of my regular backups. Now when I try to do this with my new Strech-SD, it just boots to a black screen next time. There is nothing I could do. What is this? Any ideas?
-
@ganondork So your system does not boot anymore or what ? Maybe your card is corrupted.
-
Yes, it doesn‘t boot anymore. Started 3 times from scratch with 3 different SD-cards. Funny thing - The Jessie-system I used before seems also not to boot anymore. Rewritimg my backup right now, but this is pretty weird.
EDIT: Seems like I didn‘t sleep enough. After restoring my backup, I actually can force-quit or reset without breaking the image. Still not the case for stretch images. Power-cut = Gameover. I could just get used to always properly shut down, what I do most of the time. Still in case of a brownout or my little son accidentally hitting the button shouldn‘t terminally break my build, I think.
-
I fixed the GameMaker ports so that it can run on Stretch. The new script for it is up on the wiki page and the pull request for it is live on @zerojay's repo.
-
I get very scratchy sound with this image using the analogue 3.5 mm output. Especially in Attract Mode. Anyone else who have the same problem?
-
Great job. Installed on B+ works great even mounting via usb only. Only concern is emulators that require bios files won't boot but I'm assuming that's still in the works. Other then that everything connects and works. Even a light overclock of 1500mhz.
-
@vodkanakas All my games that require a bios still work. PS1, Segacd, Pc-Engine cd, Neogeo. I'm using a pi3 b+ at 1500mhz.
-
@darksavior how did you get them to work. I just copied them from my B to my B+ and none load. Ps1 is unable to load bios but will run. The fds, Sega CD, pce CD and DC don't boot. Also tried factory settings with same result.
-
@vodkanakas Absolutely nothing but putting the bios files in the same bios folder as before. I don't know what to tell you. Try updating the emulators and double check the bios files are in the bios folder.

I was hoping that someone might have created a version of this image for noobs. I have a pretty involved setup with multiple os'es but i just got a new b+. The other option is a guide to convert the image to a noobs compatible version. I do have pretty decent experience with linux.
The greatest part about all of this is that for the last 2 months I have been planning and getting together some money to buy and configure my inlaws a raspberry pi for libreelec and so i can maintain their network and other pc's more easily. Well i had decided on march 13th that i was going to make an order the next morning. WELL what a surprise i had when i woke up!!! lol So now they are going to get my last most recent pi and im upgrading my main unit to a b+. So im hping to be able to get going on setting up my new unit.
-
@ketterer If you have a NOOBS Raspbian Stretch install, then use the manual installation method instead of an NOOBS based image - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/
-
@vodkanakas you mention USB mounting. Do confirm that you brought the BIOS files over from the previous setup you had to RetroPie/BIOS. Those emulators and games do work.
-
@pjft well I can confirm that I did but I put them in the roms folder so it was /roms/BIOS lmao all fixed now. Works great.
