n64 and megadrive not loading
-
I am having trouble trying to get retropie to locate any roms in either n64 or megadrive folders. I am running the latest version of retropie 4.1 and have it running fine as any nes snes or mame roms that i put into their folders show up on emulation station and i can play them no problem. There is no sign of either the n64 or megadrive on emualtion station when i scroll through the rest of the emuIators even though both have a few roms in them folders. I am a total noob at this so any help will be greatly appreciated .

sorry.
I am running on a pi3 with the image from retropie. I am using arcade controls, stick with 6 buttons and an ipac. i got it this far following a retropie basic setup on youtube. I dont get any error messages as there is nothing in emulation station for either the n64 or megadrive for me to run. -
try reading it again. (Tell me where you put your roms - what rom filenames are you trying to launch etc). Did you read the n64 and megadrive sections on the wiki ?

i am putting the roms in the n64/megadrive folder on the usb drive the same way i put the nes and snes roms in their folders. Do the roms have to be unzipped for n64 as i have them zipped as on the wiki a zip file is not in the accepted file extensions. Zip files are accepted for the megadrive. I have read both of the wiki and thats the only obvious thing i can spot.

If zip is not listed then it's not supported - they need to be unzipped.
Please activate the runcommand menu (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand) when launching the megadrive game, and launch it in verbose mode. After it returns to the Emulation Station interface, SSH in (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh) and post the output of
cat /dev/shm/runcommand.logplease format the log output in a code block on the forum (put three backticks ``` above and below the text )

I have got them showing up in emulation station by unzipping them. Knew it would be something simple. Thanks for the help.
