What's the easiest/best FTP client for RetroPie 4.2
-
@StormJH1 A lot of people using Apple devices use Cyberduck. I use Windows so stick with WinSCP which has never let me down. However for something a simple as transferring a few images Samba share might be better / easier.

WinSCP should work for access to the hidden files and transferring the box art picture files. Hopefully, it will also allow me to access and edit (in Notepad) the XML file, supposedly located here:
/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/nes
Looks like I should be able to do that, based on ETA Prime's video.

/home/pi/.emulationstation/
is the same as (not hidden)
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/

Yes

@StormJH1 Don't believe everything ETA Prime says in his videos. Use the official wiki / docs for the most up-to-date information written by those that actually know.

Don't believe everything ETA Prime says in his videos.
Generally the wiki is the best source for informations, yes, however in this case I already watched this tutorial and checked all the steps before posting it here! In addition I thought a video guide would be better than a wiki page.
The informations given in this tutorial are valid for the version 4.2 (and maybe higher ones).
I would say that ETA Primes videos are very good and containing correct informations most of the timeSystem: Raspberry 3 Model B, RetroPie 4.2.1

@DarkWolf Well, that's fine if he's right 90 or even 95% of the time. I've heard him give some bum advice in the past on a few occasions. Can't even recall what it was regarding.
-
@AlexMurphy As long it has something to do with retropie, all I've seen and heard from him was right and his tutorials were easy to follow along... Sometimes he only visualizes and explains the steps mentioned in the wiki/documentation

I love FlashFXP, been using it since like 2000. It's not free, though.
-
@DarkWolf It's ok, I didn't insult his mother or anything... Not a big fan of YouTubers who declare themselves experts just because they read the wiki. Anyone can do that.
-
@AlexMurphy I never thought you would do something like that :)
It's ok if this is your oppinion. Just wanted to say that his tutorials are quit good.System: Raspberry 3 Model B, RetroPie 4.2.1

@DarkWolf I know. It's just a personal thing but I understand some people work better with a video tutorial and I have to say some of his videos aren't bad. I unsubscribed from him a wee while ago when he went full time tuber, announced his Patreon and started shilling for anyone who would send him free stuff.
-
@AlexMurphy Never heard something about patreon or sending him free stuff...
Subscribed like a half to a year ago... Maybe he changed his, idk, mind or whatever, haha -
I never cared for ETA Prime. Looks like a handholding youtube page that always misses some stuff you could find out by actually learning by yourself. In his arcade roms "tutorial" he missed the crucial tip to use the correct romsets but he ignores that fact. So, of course, you have people in the comments wondering why their roms won't load...
I laughed when one of his videos is literally READING the retropie 4.2 changelog /facepalm. -
@Darksavior Yeah, I think that was one of the instances I was thinking of. MAME is tricky but to miss basics like explaining the ROM sets / Emulator version relationship is just bogus advice.
-
@Darksavior Like I said:

Sure he misses some points... That kinda sucks, but yeah, like I said... The wiki/documentation is very good and these tutorials are kinda good for beginners and everything else is mentioned in the comment section

Btw please tell me what is correct:
As I said:
or
Like I said

@DarkWolf Either / or. "As I said" is more formal and polite. "Like I said" is more casual and conversational.
-
@AlexMurphy Thanks for explaining :)
We kinda abused this thread :'D

@DarkWolf No problem. Most people here are from all over. It's an English language forum but we understand everyone is not a native speaker. To be honest I wouldn't have guessed, any Germans or Dutch I have met make me ashamed of my language skills!

Same for me (others speaking my native language obviously)
