Rom's Won't Load

mitu

This sounds like bad ROMs. So you copied them into their corresponding folders (nes, n64), launched them, but you're back at the game selection screen afterwards. Normally, an error would be logged in the log file (/dev/shm/runcommand.log) after this launch.
Get that log file and then upload its contents at pastebin.com, so we can look for errors there.

Yui

where can I find them?

Yui

ok so I found it, and it says

Parameters:
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/ -L /opt/retropie/Libretrocores/
Ir-fcumm/fceumm_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg "/home
/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Legend of Zelda.nes" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

I have no idea what any of this means tho

mitu

@Yui Well, that's the command line used to start the emulator for the ROM in question. Can you try enabling verbose logging from the Runcommand launch menu and re-open the log file ? It should have more content, if you can post the output to pastebin.com we might have an indication of the error.

Yui

I dont know what you mean by post it to paste bin, do you want me to type out everything including the info, just the errors, Also I've never used it so I don't know how it works

mitu

@Yui Use WinScp to transfer the file to your PC, open it up in Notepad, then copy and paste the content on pastebin.com. Copy the URL where the content is and add here in the post.

Or just try getting another ROM, my bet is still that the ROM is not correct.

Yui

ok I'll Try another rom and Because I can't find the files on my computer, and get back to you.

Yui

I had the same issue so I'll try to get you the error

@Yui nes rom is missing headers. i.e. bad rom source

Yui

so do i find a new rom?

herb_fargus

@Yui bingo. No intro roms are generally proper formats. Obviously due to forum rules acquiring content for retropie lies on the end user. Good luck
