It'd be a lot of work for very few ROMs. There's only a handful of examples that are truly public domain or otherwise allowed to be distributed freely. As far as open source game ports go, the RetroPie-Setup already acts as somewhat of a "store", allowing you to easily download and install precompiled binaries through a GUI without having to use anything other than your RetroPie setup.

Ah thank you very much!

@pjft Screen pitft 3.5 works better on this version

my friend had this screen and he had retropie 3.2 then he lost his pi somehow I have no idea how

but I tried to build something similar but on the newest retropie ,screen had really low framerate so what i wanna do is have same opereating system and see if it will work better

screen he used and i used is Adafruit PiTFT 3.5

Comcast could be performing network management techniques, such as network traffic shaping or even sending out RST packets.

I'd have to perform a network packet inspection using Wireshark and then contact Comcast Technical Support and AWS to see if they can determine the reason's why a download from s3.amazonaws.com would eventually fail.

But, I did use a VPN service and didn't have any issues downloading it.

First: It's the unofficial torrent link topic that showed up, not yours asking for one.

Second: Sorry again, but this sounds like you didn't spend more then 5 minutes to find a torrent before asking for one.

Third: I guess the main developers either can not or don't want to be responsible to make sure the torrent is always seeded.

Fourth: I'm not quite getting your point here. The md5 is on the download page and if you got the file from the unofficial torrent shouldn't you be able to compare them? I mean ok, that would require to download the file first, which could be a waste of time if the checksum is wrong in the end.

Finally: Nobody should expect to get the same service from any distribution/software, especially not when that product is free and made by some guys in their free time. In that case you should appreciate that 3rd parties provide extra support.

I don't understand what you mean with "loading their own servers". The webspace for the site is sponsored (and it sounds that it creates quite some expensive traffic already), the image downloads are hosted on github.

In terms of pre-made gamelist files, it really only makes sense to do it for No-Intro sets. As those are kinda the standard.

@pietze Sure. I'll be waiting for test your theme. Thanks!

@hex Unfortunly no, as is I'm going to be making some detailed themes in the future but however I might come back to this later..

necro post but just wondering if these found their way to the libretro thumbnails repo?

https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails/libretro-thumbnails

might be worth looking into as it seems both sfc and nes are incompllete thus far

@FoxWordsmith7 no. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules

appreciate clearing the air :-)

That's cool.

BTW, I started working on a big list of stuff you can legally download and/or buy to play on RetroPie.

@Bak-Sakk-N'Krak I've used the torrent that @mediamogul mentioned a few times without any issue.

@alturis it’s hit or miss. Most of the lr arcade emulators don’t run well. There are direct ports of fba and mame, but can be a tad difficult to configure them. Snes runs decently, but since the pi zero runs and older version of snes9x, you may notice some graphic glitches and sound effects that are off. Also there is some minor slowdown sometimes. Gba runs pretty well. Minor slowdown there. But genesis and lower run pretty much flawlessly.

@girlzstalkme02
I am having the same issue... Did you ever get it to download for you? Thanks

@muzzy333 I think windows thinks file that end with .img is treated as a virus and fails. I don't have a Win10 machine so I'm not sure how to change config to accept these files.

You can check the status of this here:

@Caustra if you are talking about dvd rom drives and stuff then you would at the minimum mount the drive. You need to mount a dvd drive everytime you put a disk in it. To have it mount on startup you need to put a command in startup to do so. You need to open /media/ and add a folder called cdrom. Then you need to tell the system to mount sr0 to that folder. I can tell you how to do all that but because it does not show up as a usb i dont think it will work.

@noodles91 did you ever figure out a solution i also am having the same issue

@co88y

File is only .011 mb - is that right??

Yes but you will also need a BitTorrent client. I've never tried using one on a Mac so I can't recommend one but here's the wikipedia page for BitTorrent:
