retropie 4.4 don't see emulators

[r53]

Hello retropie fans.

I just started with a raspberry 3 with retropie 4.4.
I have build this in the picade , everything good so far, the thing is: it starts up i fixed wifi and did update him.
Then i have a problem i see the splash screen and i can go to configuration and thats it. i dont see the logo's of the emulators.

Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong , i am trying to fix it now for more than a day and i want to play some retro games :)

hope to hear from u thnx

@r53 Have you copied any ROMs to the system ? Unless you transfer some ROMs, no systems (emulators) will show up. From https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#transferring-roms

When you first see EmulationStation you may wonder why you don't see systems like the SNES or Game Boy- worry not- they are installed on the system, roms just need to be added to their respective rom folders before they will become visible. Transferring roms are described in the following steps.

@mitu Hi Mitu,
Thanx for u reaction , yes i have put a rom in the Nintendo 64 map.
For my first game love donkey kong :)
But i shall put al lot more games in different maps.
But u say it is normal that u dont see the emulators with out games ?

Thanx again :)

@r53 After you transfer the ROMs, you need to restart Emulationstation (or restart the system altogether). Make sure your ROMs have the right extension - see the system's page on the docs for the supported extensions.

Arghhh extra problem now :(
When i start up again i get this message.

raspbian GNU/Lunix9 retropie tty1

Omg what is that

[mitu]

@r53 It means Emulationstation doesn't auto-start (or has an error starting) and you get the normal Linux prompt to log in. What exactly did you do before the restart ?

[r53]

@mitu Nothing , i only put my usb stick in the raspberry.
But i had it and install it from new now its working like u said .

Thanxx Mitu :)
