      @stoney66 Stoney thank you so much.
      First your code to shut down work like a charm.
      After I switch on again my Pi ( same end as before)
      so I tried sudo ./retropie_setup/retropie_setup.sh
      but got this RRA.jpg

        @debric just type exit see if that takes you to ES. From there you can go into retropie setup with the GUI.

          @debric oh also just noticed, your root disk is full (100% use). That is not good.. you will need to clean up some space! That is probably your biggest problem.

          You said you used cloned the 32G to a 128G, you would need to expand the filesystem after that.

                  Moderation note: @debric I merged your topics, there's no need to open a new topic for the same problem. Please try to respect the forum rules and don't spam the forum with the same topic.

                  To answer your questions:

                  • Linux reserves 5% of the / partition to the rootuser, so that space it's not available to the regular pi user. As I said earlier - delete some of your bigger ROMs to gain space.
                  • The correct command to start the RetroPie setup script is:
                  sudo ./RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
                  

                  and it's case-sensitive.

                  And lastly, you still haven't provided the info asked in: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

                      @mitu This smells like a third party image we can not provide further help.

                      @debric Please use the original image that you can download here then we can assure you have the latest updates with a fine setup and then we surly can provide help as fast as possible.

                          @debric No ... this will just update the packages. No gamedata will be touched but it would be better to get more free space.

                              Yes.

                              @debric how did you installed the image ? Did you buy the kit altogether with the Pi or you installed it yourself ?

                                  @debric 8bit games do not need so much space. The PSX and PSP are real space eaters. Better to reduce some of these but as I already said you are using a third party image and will surly come back with some questions regarding RetroPie.

                                  Imho a better setup (real world) would be...
                                  Use a 4GB card to just run the system ... this will help you much if you need backups.
                                  For the ROMs you need a seperate USB storage device.... 64GB, 128GB and then you can access all files from your MAC.

                                  @debric Don't take the question where you got the stuff as an offence towards you but it is not a nice move to see people making money from a project that started as a curious fun hobby. But other distros like Batocera, Recalbox, Lakka suffer from the same :(

                                    @debric We don't support 3rd party images, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

                                    Moreover, the RetroPie image license doesn't allow commercial usage - so you bought the kit from a scammer, which sold it to you illegally, without mentioning the ROMs included, for which he/she didn't have a license.

                                    If you wish to get support - please install the image from retropie.org.uk/download and follow the Docs to get it installed and configured.

                                      @cyperghost so if I get this well on the sd card I just have the system and on an external usb all the roms? So the roms can be played via usb?
                                      a stupid question can I have both?some in the sd and some on the USB key?

                                        @debric Usually just one way. ROMs on SD or ROMs on USB
