@john1967 please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

booting to emulationstation is default behaviour for the official image, however here is how to configure it for a manual installation: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi

@buzz Am aware, but i didnt know what the issue was. Thanks.

@mitu Got it figured out, thanks anyway

@zefolhadela Nintendo 64 is hit and miss on a Pi 3. A proper power supply might help somewhat, but really picking the right emulators for each game will be the way forward if you want to increase performance.

The download server is a bit overloaded - try again now.

@mitu fixed

ok i reinstalled it.

everything is working so far now.

thank you very much for your time and your help.

best regards =)

nevermind, i think i fixed it by removing a custom video mode from the menu that appears whe you press A at launching

well, i deleted the custom es-systems.cfg file, reinstalled all the emulators and they now appear on the system list and games are launching well.
Thanks a lot for the help.

I have lost the system PC Engine CDROM that i created outside PCENGINE as a standalone system, i need to figure out how to create it again without making a custom es_systems.cfg file !

This topic can be marked as solved !

@thesterninator a usb flash drive should not cause power issues. And seriously start fresh. It will teach you how the whole RetroPie system works.

@Luddo183 i wouldn't think anyone has motivation to fix/investigate such an old version of FBA on hardware that can comfortably run current FBN. i would recommend you just get new ROMs for FBN.

@mitu said in RetroPie Setup no Longer Working After Failed Update.:

The error message is quite clear - have you tried running the commands recommended ?

I honestly didn't even notice that until after you pointed it out lmao. Thank you, it worked!

@Unknown you've been told to stop bumping posts before. please take a day to absorb that message.

@Arsonist then the login details should work. Make sure you spell raspberry correctly (easy to typo). But you're probably running a Raspbian Stretch based image (which is unsupported upstream and will be by retropie also in the future) so might be a good time to start from a fresh image.

@Ecks The problem existed for a limited timeframe and it was an external factor at stake - not in RetroPie. The fact that you didn't experience it means you didn't run the installation at that particular time.

@Hooded-Man said in Can't boot Emulationstation get a error from booting:

Built from: Premade SD Card from Ebay got arcade machine. Link is right here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224001822340

We don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones sold with ROMs and RetroPie. Ask the seller for support, we don't support scammers that sell RetroPie preloaded - it's against the project's license.

where do i put this pairing code?
