      Hello, Recently picked up a pi 3 and installed retropie onto it, the issues im having are that, after putting my ROMS into their right folders and plugging the USB back into the pie and waiting for it to stop blinking, I removed the USB and Restart ES, but when it loads back up all i can select is Retropie, there are no emulators available, have tried many different roms from different emulators and nothing works, any ideas on the problems?
      Thanks in advance.

        Did you try connecting it through SAMBA or SFTP (hostname "retropie", username "pi", password "raspberry"). They go in their designated folders in "/home/pie/RetroPie/roms". Also check out the WIKI page:

        https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Supported-Systems

        It's possible your ROMS have to be unzipped before EmulationStation will detect them. I never bothered with the download from USB stick method. Just connect up through the network or wifi. If you still have trouble (like you don't have a home network?) post back and somebody will try to help you!

        Who's Scruffy Looking?

          did unzip the roms, went into setup and for some reason the USB was disabled so it wasnt pulling the roms over like i thought it was.
          Thanks but its been solved.

            Hello, I have the problem, that retropie lacks the colecovision emulator e.g. It ist listed in no "package folder" (neither main, nor experimental, etc.). Is there a possibility to install the coolcv emu manually or any ideas to complete the list in the packages? Have retropie installed in a linux mint....

              @kez colecovision is only compiled for the pi also you'll get more answers if you start your own threads with your own questions rather than hoping you'll get one by piggybacking off of a solved thread

              If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

              Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first
