@ebtalk about 8-9 seconds, 5500 roms, carbon-nometa theme, rpi3b

Well done! Happy holidays.

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

also did you read https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation ?

I suspect you are running the rpi2/3 image on a rpi0/1

@markyh444 for reference if anybody reads this, it writes over everything including the roms you have saved.

Glad I backed all that up including images and game lists files

@sinfolmatt Please use the official installation instructions

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation

Note the part where it refers to downloading the correct image / number of raspberries shown on boot.

Okay so, apparently I misunderstood the copying process... I thought I could just use the SAMBA Shares, but that didn't work... However, I have since used the USB Flash Drive option and now the games and emulators are showing up on the console.

So, problem solved!

@Nismo You're welcome! I'm sorry it took me so long to set aside some time to test it, it's been a busy week. As for temperature, my guess is that the v4 version will have temperature problems, while the v5 version will not. However, the fact that the v5 version isn't playing your videos isn't good, and I'm going to look into that a bit more, but I'm hoping @fieldofcows will be able to chime in on that.

I've just added a link to that FAQ entry :)

@Egg90

Hey just saw this post today!

I am not sure if you got it figured out but I was having the same problem and what I ended up doing was not using brackets or quotes for the memory card file location. I also had to make sure that -loadbin was the last command before "%ROM_RAW%" or I got an error saying it couldn't load a .exe.

It should look like this:

<command>C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/ePSXe.exe -nogui -slowboot -analog -loadmemc0 C:/Users/Emulator/.emulationstation/systems/Playstation/memcards/epsxe000.mcr -loadbin "%ROM_RAW%"</command>

I hope that helps

After a bit of playing around I managed to get the Pi Zero working - By updating all the packages and emulation station, it all boots up fine now. Problem solved.

Thanks

@mohawk97 you didn't provide details as printed in bold at the top of the screen.

I understand it takes a lot to make this and put it out there. No a problem. Sorry my question was trouble.

Thanks mates for your help!

Hardware specifications

RetroPie version: if i "git log" inside my repo I obtain:

* commit 88829054bf0cc54d5779704ac3e3c41a2d1eb1a0 (grafted, HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Author: Jools Wills <buzz@exotica.org.uk> Date: Sat Nov 26 18:21:55 2016 +0000

I downloaded it via git clone https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git
Should I download https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/archive/4.1.zip and install from that source?

One more thing! If I ssh to the pc I installed RetroPie to... Emulationstation START !!! :) But it isn't what I would obtain.. :) :) :)

Hotkeys still don't work and when ever I configure my controllers in emulationstation, the other one doesn't work in a game and I have to configure everytime I turn on my pi.

Hello, so it is definitely so that the metadata is not saved, if one it off via the power button. Does anyone have experience in whether or not in the Mausberry script something can be changed, that it is properly closed and then the Pi is down?
