what are you using, hardware wise? and what changes have you done to any configs? any error messages?

retropieiscool

@lostless raspberry pi 3 and I don't know how to check error messages

lostless

@retropieiscool have you done anything but install retro pie and games?

retropieiscool

@lostless I tried to add dolphin
and I was updating the script and I accidentally turned it off while it was doing it

ortsac

@retropieiscool Which means that the SD card has been corrupted when you turned it off abruptly. Reimage and start over unless you have a backup.

@retropieiscool and the pi3 can not run dolphin.

Wherever you put it. It's from the shares of configs, roms and bios.

retropieiscool

right now my retropie is mounted in a box is there anything I can do to help over network?

lostless

@retropieiscool enable wifi

retropieiscool

@lostless its already connected to my home network

lostless

@retropieiscool so in Windows, if you look at your local network, there should be a share called "retropie". In there is all the roms, configs and bios files. Since you have a pretty fresh install of retropie, you may not have to backup your configs unless you changed some control mappings and stuff. The roms is self explanatory and bios has the bios files you installed.
If you're on a mac the share should show up on the left hand side of any open window under "shares"

@lostless so what do you auctually want me to do? I already added tons of roms and I get that that is the location of my bios files but what do you want me to do in network/?

lostless

@retropieiscool you asked about backups. I'm just trying to help you back up. And where to restore a backup. If you have all your files backed up, just reformat the sd card, reimage retropie and restore your backup.
