Dont worry mate. I could manage to do it. maybe not the best xml code ever (which I know almost nothing hehehe) but copying chunks from one xml to another it worked

@simpleethat I'm using the RPi 4. Thanks for the help got it working perfectly with the text editor on the OS.

@Thorr69 i was able to do that but when I go back into the commandline txt file it still opens up in ed mode and not nano mode. Trying to adjust my trackball/spinner dial which is lagging

@Impman66 said in Is WinSCP or Putty necessary?:

So it begs the question, is WinSCP, Putty, or any other "file sharing" program necessary?

no, there are 3 supported methods of copying roms, and you're simply using the third: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/#samba-shares

D'oh! There it is.

Thanks for your help.

@herb_fargus thanks herb appreciate the feedback! I will take your advice and post my proposed changes here for feedback first. I have got N64 running well on my pi (at least for most games anyone cares about). So I'd like to share my tweaks that have made it a more enjoyable experience. Thanks again.

@matchaman if you have your theme up on GitHub or have codeblocks/screenshots showing examples of what you're trying it might be easier for others to help troubleshoot

@ectoone I'm certain it wasn't but I will double check and let you know.

@herb_fargus thanks you! super!
