Duke nukem 3D problems

[gaz1971uk]

Just setting up my system and I've install duke nukem , when I go into ports to run it comes up with sh 1: /home/pi/retropie/roms/ports/duke nukem 3D sh permission denied error, I'm running roms from a usb stick all the other emulators work, but now I'm stuck any help I would be greatful

sudo chmod +x "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/duke nukem 3D.sh"

I don't think chmod will help as they have their rom on a non linux filesytem (probably fat32). However updating to the latest retropie should sort it as I added a workaround.

ive tried both these things and still wont work, none of the games in ports run, same error

You updated the retropie-setup script and then updated all installed packages ?

Aah. There will need to be another change actually to work around this. In the meantime you can edit /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg look for the part that says

  <system>
    <name>ports</name>
    <fullname>Ports</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports</path>
    <extension>.sh .SH</extension>
    <command>%ROM%</command>
    <platform>pc</platform>
    <theme>ports</theme>
  </system>

and replace it with

  <system>
    <name>ports</name>
    <fullname>Ports</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports</path>
    <extension>.sh .SH</extension>
    <command>bash %ROM%</command>
    <platform>pc</platform>
    <theme>ports</theme>
  </system>

If you update retropie-setup again, and re-install a port, it should fix it.

thanks for the help
it didnt work lol when did it i lost all the emulationstation configurations, so started again and now im just editing the es_systems.cfg file and editing the paths manually, managed to get it working just having trouble with controller now

You incorrectly edited the file then and broke the xml or something. Open a new topic for the controller issue.
