it's normal :)

@tlanks

Things are rarely this simple, but are you sure that you made the script executable?

chmod +x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/game.sh

Also, seeing as how you're simply launching DOSBox with your script, does the included /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/+Start\ DOSBox.sh not suffice?

@jay81uk

Regarding your issue with the GBA BIOS, you may have to try a few before you find one that works. Also, the md5sum is noted here to compare against your own.

I have my roms on a NAS alogn with all of my other files, so when I download a new rom, i stick it on the Pi and the NAS, so my roms are all backed up, I dont care about that,

what I care to backup is the scraping which takes a bloody age to get done, I do not want to repeat that!

then I stick saved games over on the NAS as and when I decide I have any that I care about.

I prefer to spend my time playing though, I spent an hour last night watching the screen flash text while LR-Mame installed, only to find that the game ran slow :(

#1 for sure if this is still being considered or worked on?

Defintely appears to be related to limited memory.

I found this https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=142243&p=940551#

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1GB bs=1M count=1024
sudo mkswap /swapfile1GB
sudo swapon /swapfile1GB

I tried all other recommendations noted here before doing this, but worked like a charm. I was getting stuck at 82% "SystemScreenSaver.cpp.oc++: internal compiler error".

@ruckage Here you go.

You're a star, thank you very much.

@GTR63 Forget the USB. If you are using windows use the already enabled samba share. stick \\RETROPIE into any windows search bar and you should see 4 folders by default. Just drag and drop into the correct folders from your Win PC.

Maybe it is a sign the drive is starting to fail (taking a long time to spin up). I know a number of Toshiba and Hitachi laptop drives have an issue where the grease in the bearings breaks down after a while and turns into a paste that actually slows the drive down until the motor has warmed up a little.

@mitu how am I'm supposed to enable SSH when I can't go into the menu to enable it?

Look at the page I mentioned, the 2nd method is simpler - pop-up your SD card and insert it into your PC, then create an empty file called ssh (no extension) on the /boot partition, the same folder as the config.txt file.
Put the SD card back and boot the PI, you should have SSH enabled.
