Permission denied
-
@mitu I wasn't using fdisk to grant permission. I was using to see if it was mounted and it said permission denied. And yes I have viewed the page for transferring roms it wasn't working
-
Use
mountto see if the partition on your USB has been mounted,fdiskwill only list the partitions on the disc. -
@mitu sorry, it seems as if I was wrong. Today I tried to do it by Wi-Fi and found the roms are there. Which makes wonder why are they showing? I know depending on how it's set up but by default it should show game systems for the roms but none of that is showing.
-
Care to be more specific ? Each system has a list of supported file extensions, so if the ROM files are correctly named and you restart EmulationStation, they should show up in the game list.
-
@mitu ok I have a bunch of roms in nes folder and some in Atari folder I've restarted emulator and the pi nothing shows up when it restarted it just shows retropie
-
@oldgamepie What are the extensions of the atari and nes roms? What emulators are you using for atari and nes?
-
@saccublenda nes .nes and atari I believe we're .bin
-
@oldgamepie Look into the file
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfgand see if.nesand.binextensions are listed among the Nintendo Entertainment System and Atari 2600 extensions. -
@saccublenda yes the extensions are the proper ones for each system
-
Check EmulationStation's settings, under Other, and see if you have Parse Gamelists Only turned on. If you do, then turn it off and then restart EmulationStation.
-
@mitu thank you, thank you, thank you that was the fix .
-
Hm, that's weird - by default that option is off, did you turn it on yourself ?
-
@mitu I might have by accident because at on point I was having a hard time finding where to pair with bluetooth for a controller
