      @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:

              I would say that ETA Primes videos are very good and containing correct informations most of the time

              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

                  @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)

                          @Darksavior I stopped doing my YouTube channel because I didn't want to be considered in the same vein as them. All these so called YouTubers are just cashing out (if you could even call it that) on the docs i write. It's very much a quantity over quality thing. Also given the state of affairs of all the greedy dbags ripping off our project I didn't want to continue enabling them with handholding with YouTube videos (also they quickly become outdated as we develop retropie.)

                          If I had my choice I'd make retropie less user friendly so that people would be required to have at least half a brain to use it. But anyways I digress.

                          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

                            That would be a thing...
                            I really love the documentation you made and it already solved some of my problems!

                              Just wanted to post back a day later and say thank you - I was able to (pretty easily) figure out how to do the boxart thing using the suggestions in this thread. Even better, I got a lot of confidence going in and out of the gamelist, so I feel like I could make other edits or troubleshoot some problems in the future!

                                  I haven't had any issues with Filezilla. Go to Raspi-config and make sure sshd is enabled on your Pi. Enter ip address, name, password, and port 22 on FileZilla. It should just werk.
