@meleu Is it still massively expensive to import foreign electronics to Brasil? I have read and watched documentaries about the taxes that were placed on foreign imports. I'm sure that has opened up but there will always be a legacy of that policy.

I think it's not as much as it was in the 80s-90s. But it still has some taxes. Not sure how it worked before but now the taxes are applied by sampling. Then it can be a matter of luck. :-)

I bought some gadgets from other countries and it wasn't that expensive (some of them weren't taxed), such as: 8bitdo NES30, SNES30, Zero, GPD XD...

@beastnick541 OK. I'm pasting here for you:

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

You didn't give enough info about your setup and looks like didn't search the official docs.

I would suggest you to enable emulationstation in autostart, but I think you should give more info about your setup.

That's the real trick isn't it, having the support I mean. I think people are just eager for a successor to the Pi3 (myself included) and impatience is getting them to seek alternatives, lol. I hope the next board has a better GPU, as the current one has been stretched as far as it can go I'm thinking. For emulating 2nd through 4th generation consoles, RetroPie has compatibility and convenience I haven't seen with any other solution. And PSX emulation is great also on RetroPie. I just find N64, Dreamcast, and PSP to be somewhat lacking, but I think that's mainly because of the limited GPU in the Pi, to say nothing of the DC's robust FPU.

The url should now be classified as safe.

@pjft Thanks, but once again you were major help! You pointed me right to I needed to be and I just pushed a few buttons.

@kbronctjr If the carousel view is not being themed, you should update the retropie update scripts, then in the package manager, update emulationstation from source, not binaries. After that the carousel should be properly themed.

@Allanbuzzy I'm not sure the Raspberry Pi will allow you to raid USB devices together.

There are these little gadgets that might come in handy.

@Pawka Had the same issue and this fixed it. Thanks!

@ltpaulieb you will only have a es_systems.cfg in /opt/retropie/emulationstation/configurations/all/ if you have copied it there yourself. It overrides the RetroPie managed one. If you want RetroPie to manage the systems, you should remove it (or manually keep it up to date).

Today I am very happy because I solved this issue. I just had to remove the case, plug in a new image, plug in the HDMI,and get the ip so I can configure it on my computer. Thank you all so much for helping me out.

@UDb23 Wow! Thanks heaps. They are exactly what I was looking for! Awesome job.

There's no need to expand file system via raspi-config.

@aberusugi said in Booting to command line after installing basic package:

I go into retropie config and install basic package

What "basic package" is it?!

@dankcushions thanks I found that out earlier :(

Thank you BuZz! Going to try the scraper today.

You won't see the emulators until the roms are in their respective folders.
Once Retropie sees roms in the the folder, it adds the appropriate emulator to the menu.
