      @cyperghost ok Thanks :) I 'll try this as soon as I can :)

      ps: just one last question ( I hope ^^ ) where do I change the files directory to put mine (/media/usb/roms/ ports/openbor ) ?
      I must change this line
      " BORROM_DIR="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor" "

        @wsamael Yes the script looks for your *.pak files in the directory you mentioned, so change the path here.

                sleep 5
                

                donc au final je me demande si le soucis n'est pas dans les reglage d'openbor car c'est lui qui ne les voit pas mais je ne voit pas ou le modifier .

                  @wsamael Is there any error during extraction?
                  How do you launch the OpenBOR?

                    I think is no error during extraction

                    Capture.JPG

                    And I try to launch OPB with the ES Menu (like another system ) or I try to launch in ports menu an Ports menu but that dosn't work

                    port-menu.jpg es-menu.jpg

                    i saw it in es menu but if I launch it that launch opb menu and may rom dosn't appear

                      asterix it's ok (on sd card) but street fighter ( on usb key) dosn't work . If I launch it, that launch opb and not Street fighter

                      ( I hope you understand what i mean )

                        @wsamael The OpenBOR engine you are using is very old. That may be the reason that Asterix (also an old BOR title) works and Street Fighter maybe not. Did you try to extract Asterix on USB key, too?

                              @wsamael Please post following

                              data of /opt/retropie/configs/ports/openbor/emulators.cfg

                              There should be this entry (The %ROM% is vital)

                              openbor= "pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR %ROM%; popd"
                              default = "openbor"
                              

                              And your es_system.cfg should contain the following part

                              <name>openbor</name>
                                  <fullname>OpenBOR</fullname>
                                  <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor</path>
                                  <extension>.bor .BOR</extension>

                                  ok so I've delete the old version, and I've installed the 6xxx ( thanks you for the advice) and it's work. So, this version don't need to extract the .pak ?

                                    @wsamael Yes the 6xxx version does not need to extract PAKs and and ir offers much more games available to play. It's only the specific OpenBOR version here for RetroPie that makes a need to extract pack files.

                                    I just want to avoid confusion because the 6xxx port is not official supported here.
