New to Pi and RetroPie...HELP!

[Kojiro]

@BuZz hey Buzz, I read the read me, and I've followed those directions (I believe), restarted ES, but I don't see anything. My dad spent about 20 minutes trying to figure it out, but I guess he's not savvy enough.

[BuZz]

@Kojiro unfortunately you have not provided me with enough information to help further - see the first link I gave you.

[Kojiro]

@BuZz how do I tell the difference between a Pi model B or B+? It has Bluetooth and Wifi built in

[BuZz]

@Kojiro that would be a RPI3. Please provide me with details of an example filename of a file you copied, where you copied it, and what you did etc.

[Kojiro]

@BuZz I used the USB method where I took a USB drive and put a RetroPie directory on it, then put in the raspberry Pi and let it do its thing, then put the drive back on my pc and copied supermariobros.nes to the new roms directory in the NES subfolder.

[BuZz]

@Kojiro and then what did you do ?

[Kojiro]

@BuZz put it back in the Pi, waited for a bit, then rebooted the Pi and emulation station. Still nothing

[BuZz]

@Kojiro Please use another machine and the network to confirm the file is copied correctly. eg sftp or windows networking

[Kojiro]

@BuZz confirmed to see the .nes files within the RETROPIE>roms>nes directory from my windows PC via network

[BuZz]

@Kojiro Have you changed any Emulation Station settings ? eg what is "Parse gamelists only" set to ? (in the other settings menu).

[Kojiro]

@BuZz damn it! That's what happened! My dad changed the parse thing, I knew I shouldn't have let him screw around in the menus! Thank you Buzz!

[Kojiro]

@BuZz hey Buzz, thank you again for the help! I've already added about 60 games and scraped them. I'm afraid my memory stick may be too small, if I were to simply copy everything from my current stick over to a larger stick, would it retain all the scraped info and games and settings?
