Update Retropie Script failed, need credentials?

InfinityBeing

I ended up reformatting and starting from scratch. Now the only issue I have is trying to figure out why Cave Story has two entries (Cave Story.sh, and the folder CaveStory holding Doukutsu.exe), and how to hide the folder from ES. The game runs fine, but I don't want an entry that is completely unnecessary.

@InfinityBeing Post you EmulationStation system configuration file:

check \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg, it might not exist
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

Get the file and post its contents on pastebin.com.

What image are you using to install ?

@mitu I'm not installing anything, I've already installed everything and it runs fine. Like I said, there are 3 entries in my Ports when there are actually only two ports i've installed: VVVVVV and Cave Story. The latter has two entries because one is reading the .sh file, and the other is scanning the folder which has the .exe inside of it. How do I hide the folder with the .exe from view in the ports menu on ES?

Again, which image are you using to install ? RetroPie's default image doesn't exhibit this problem.

Run git reset --hard origin/master from the RetroPie-Setup folder and try again updating.

What's the output of git log -n 1 - ? Once you've done that you can do

git checkout master; git reset --hard origin/master which should sort it.

@mitu I'd like to get the log info first. I was wondering if this may be due to them checking out that commit before it was squashed and force pushed.

setup: add back the question for the install/update dialog

and then:

git checkout master; git reset --hard origin/master
scriptmodules/admin/setup.sh: needs merge
error: you need to resolve your current index first

@magicfly try git merge --abort first.

Thanks for the info btw. You don't need to run the git log again.

@mitu Like i said on the other post, literally 4.1.5, the one on the site. You are asking unrelated questions

mitu

@InfinityBeing I think your posts are unrelated to this topic. Please don't post here - you already have your own topic.
Sorry for the noise on the topic @BuZz, @magicfly.
