I've followed this Tutorial to the letter and it's STILL not working...

Installing the emulator is not enough for the system to show up in the carousel list - you need to copy the games/ROMs to the system's folder. Did you copy your Daphne ROMs to the daphne folder ?

I thought i had. When downloading Daphne it came with the ROMS (As described by ETA Prime) and that s what i put into the roms folder. Withing Daphne i put the lair.daphne next to the roms folder. within lair.daphne is the .m2v the lair.ogg and the lair.txt. In the roms folder within daphne is where i put the lair.zip. Yet it still does not show up on the carousel list.

@echristian89

you've spelt 'daphne' wrong in - you have 'Lair.Daphnie'. also, it should be in lower case, as per the docs (not sure if that makes a difference, but linux is case-sensitive, so i would sooner assume it matters):

roms
|-- daphne
|    |   (The folder below holds a laserdisc...".daphne"
|    |   tells emulationstation to add this to the menu,
|    |   and "dle21" tells daphne to use that game engine)
|    |
|    |-- dle21.daphne     
|    |    |-- dle21.commands  (Optional extra command-
|    |    |                   line params!)
|    |    |-- dle21.txt      (Framefile)
|    |    |-- lair.m2v
|    |    |-- lair.ogg
|    |
|    |                (All roms go into this roms folder)
|    +-- roms
|         +-- dle21.zip

(ie, lair.daphne)

You mis-spelled '.daphne'.

@dankcushions Where do i find dle21.zip?

echristian89

@mitu oops my bad. I fixed that but it still does not work. Do i need the dle21.zip in addition to all of this, as @dankcushions suggests?

You'll need it to run the game, but not for the game to show up in EmulationStation. Did you install the emulator ?

echristian89

I have, but i had to install it from the 'pre-built binary' because the 'install from source' kept telling me that it was unable to complete it's download. I have also tried to re-install it again from source and it's still being problematic.

How about we start from here - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Give more details about your system and how you installed it, what Pi model do you have installed, etc.

I think i was able to figure it out. Thanks for all your help with the issues i was missing. I reread the link you sent and found some things i had missed before. I was able to download the full source file :) Thank you so much for your help!
