How to run a command line from USB
-
@DarkWolf it messed up the format of my reply but I guess it's readable
-
@DarkWolf Ok, just did a fresh install of retropie. I'm running late too. I'll try this method later this evening.
I'll check back to see if you have changed anything before I try it. I'll be using the SSH route.
Thanks for your continued help.

@stevefo Updated it a bit, hope that helps :)
-
@DarkWolf If it's not one thing it's another. I only use a MacBook. Anything I download from Mega gets messed up on here. I can never get mega to work on a mac.

@stevefo The arcade bezel overlays are from through Mega downloader.
-
@stevefo I got the file. It let me download form browser.
-
@stevefo ok, got it to work. The Arcade overlays are so good that they work better with screen curvature. I get overlap when it's flat. Damn!
Thank You for your help, I really appreciate it. I have another question that should be easy to answer but not sure it's allowed. Can I message you? If so, how?

As long as it doesn't break any of these rules, you'll be fine.

@stevefo Haha, we needed some time here, but now it's working, great!
Regarding your question: Sure, but like @mediamogul said:

Check this first ;-)

@DarkWolf I have some MAME games that don't work. I've tried Mame 4 all, mame lb, and mame 2003. Any suggestions?

@stevefo You can view a list with supported roms here:

@DarkWolf great info! Thanks

What should I put in the Arcade folder in Retropie?
-
@stevefo There was a thread abput the arcade folder allready:
But I will summ that up quickly:
You don't have to use the folder, if you are using mame/fba folders. But if you want to have all roms for mame/fba in one folder, you can use that. But keep in mind that you have to understand the "folder" and how the emulators work first.Taken from the thread:
When you dump your romset into the arcade directory, you should know which emulator they were built for. You can set em accordingly from the runcommand. If you arbitrarily dump all sorts of roms into it, then good luck sorting em out. I personally prefer to have my MAME sets organized under specific emulators with the best of their respective builds.
And you can also read this wiki page:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/MAMETaken from the wiki page:
So you can have one zipped ROMset for each of these (mame4all, FBA, NeoGeo, advmame) To avoid having several EmulationStation menus for different arcade emulators, all arcade-based ROMs can be placed in the arcade ROM folder, but you will have to specify which emulator each will use from the Runcommand Menu
So basicly it "cleans" the mess of having different folder for different arcade emulators.
But you have to set it up correctly.
