      Hey @Sage-Freke I was wondering is you tried moving the files from the USB directly to the pi... it might make it work.

      N64 emulation is the next step :)

        @Sage-Freke I suspect it's related to the wifi dongle, but it sounds like your sdcard may be a bit slow. Which one are you using ? I have had terrible write performance from some cheaper class 10 cards. I would definitely try another card to rule out the sdcard also.

          @CodeDrawer I'm not familiar with retropie's file manager so I didn't try yet, I'll try and report (however, I wanted to use the WiFi manly for the convenience of making changes without having to move the pi).

          @BuZz The previous card was an old 8gb that I'm sure is as slow as a class 10 can get, but the new one (a seldom used before Samsung 64GB card that I had laying around) while not one of the fastest, it' s not slow either: during the image flashing in Windows it maintained a writing speed of around 20 MB/s.

          I'll post the log you requested as soon as I get close to the pi.

            @Sage-Freke I just use command line after pressing f4 on the keyboard.

            N64 emulation is the next step :)

              @CodeDrawer I hate moving files with the command line, I used the retropie file manager and it worked ok (although I wish there was a "select all" option instead of having to select thousand of files/folders manually).

              @BuZz Here's the content of es_log.txt

                P.S. I screw-up the code formatting but I cannot change it because Akismet detects it as "spam".

                  I can write the code needed for you. So all you need to do is copy/paste @Sage-Freke It also could be worth it.

                  N64 emulation is the next step :)

                    @CodeDrawer I just wanted to format the log that I posted as a code block. If you can do it, go ahead. Thanks.

                      @Sage-Freke Your log is totally useless. I know you may not be a Linux wizz but even you could see there is nothing of interest in that. Do you have the full log? Try launching a game and then check /dev/shm/runcommand.log

                        @AlexMurphy I had noticed that there was nothing interesting, however, the log was requested to me and I'm not so confident to think that I know better.

                        Here's runcommand.log, it seems that there's nothing here too.
