      Don't know why but this just isn't working for me at all. I've followed Floobs excellent YT video tutorial twice now and something different happens when I get to the first menu.

      On the video it says pick option 4 and grab sorr from there. On mine it doesn't have it in that section, it's found in the emulators section instead and when I select it i get an option for binary or source which isn't mentioned in the video and I've followed the commands to the letter up to this point.

      Anyway I thought I'd carry on anyway and on the next section following the video I get to the part where you have to cd to opt/retropie/configs/sorr and then it says directory doesn't exist.

      Totally no idea now :(

      For reference I'm using 3.8.1 and doing the commands direct on the pi.

      I've noticed on the readme file this part:

      cd
      cd RetroPie-Setup
      sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
      This script assumes that you are running it on a Raspberry Pi with the RetroPie-Setup being stored in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup. If your setup differs, just copy the scripts directly to the folder they need to be in.

      Now I've no idea how to check if my setup is different. How would I do that?

        I've added some comments on the video now, but it seemed ok when I just tried it.
        I was using RetroPie 3.8.1 and I then updated the script, so the menu names change a little bit, but its still found under the Experimental section.

        You dont need to navigate to this dir, but if you want to its moved to:
        /opt/retropie/configs/ports/sorr

        The files go in /opt/retropie/ports/sorr

          Thanks mate. What I'll do is give it another go tonight step by step and maybe screenshot what happens should it go wrong so you can see yourself.

            Just a quick one. Should I be doing anything before hand on a usb stick like getting the dat file from the windows install or the other b file? I originally did this and when I checked the directory on the terminal both files were present.

              No, dont copy any of the files over yet, just install sorr from the method shown in the video and make sure the files/folders are all created first.
              You should find this exists when you have sorr installed /opt/retropie/ports/sorr

              You can see where the install option for sorr would be in an updated RetroPie script here:

              Make sure zerojays script is installed without error first.

                Ok mate. Like I said on your YT channel I've done all that as shown in those pics and updated from source and I have the game in ports when I boot emulation station. When I launch the game I just get a black screen with flashing cursor for a few seconds and then it returns to the game list again.

                I'm just confused as to how I now copy the files over. I know you mentioned ftp. I have putty on my laptop but I've no idea how to do this process.

                Apologies if I'm being a blag. I'm quite technical but I'm obviously having a blonde moment and missing something obvious. I appreciate all the help so far mate.

                  Any idea if higher resolution and v-sync work now? The one thing keeping me playing SORR on my laptop connected to the tv instead of my Pi.

                    There are 3 distinct steps here really
                    1 - Install zerojays repository
                    2 - Install sorr
                    3 - Copy game files accross

                    Are you saying #1 and #2 above have completed without issue?
                    So, you have a folder that has been made here /opt/retropie/ports/sorr

                    If so, what do you get if you type the following
                    ls -lah /opt/retropie/ports/sorr/

                    If you havent copied your game files over, check the video for the files you need, and follow the instruction to change the permission on that folder, i.e. sudo chmod 777 /opt/retropie/ports/sorr

                    Then copy the game files across using an FTP client (I use Filezilla)

                      Hi mate I've copied the files over via ftp
                      https://flic.kr/p/JYBMQA
                      but when I run ls -lah I only have bgdi-330 and save game listed

                      https://flic.kr/p/JtaDhy

                      No sure what's happening lol.

                      EDIT: Wrong folder lol sorry.

                      Oh ffs as I copied them all to configs/sorr instead of ports/sorr I then accidentally moved them all from configs to ports and now it errors on launch saying no config file.

                      I'll uninstall sor and start again as I don't know what should be in the config folder

                        Those are two different directories showing (it looks like you have copied your game files to the configs or roms directory).
                        Make sure the game files get copied to /opt/retropie/ports/sorr/

                          Yep I've just done a quick reinstall of retropie and installed sorr. I ran the sudo command to give me permissions but when I try and ftp the files across it now says permission denied?

                              Just had to come away for a while as I'm sorting kids out. I'll check in a bit. Strange how I could initially ftp files across albeit to the wrong place lol and now I can't.

                                  Ok, that looks right - can you FTP files across to it now?

                                        I will have when I dive on in the next half hour. Having a Google and a few other people have had the same issue with cyberducky. I wonder if it's worth trying a different ftp client.
