      Caveat: requires 64 bit, not sure if that’s in the Retropie pipeline.

      Also has some usb / uasp boot issues but may be surmountable- get it?

      @mitu I just want to confirm that everything has worked perfectly now, just some minor things that will require manual tweaking, but overall, everything worked and managed to scrape everything nicely.

      Thanks mitu and sleve_mcdichael

      @bberlin1 said in Help! Won't boot Emulationstation!:

      I'm still curious however-- if you have any insight into how to a) edit files from an ssh gui or b) access putty with my pi login, I would be very interested. I can only seem to do these things via the root login and would like to not have to run into these kinds of issues again.

      If you use Putty, you can edit the files via nano. Most of the configuration files are also available via file shares (under \\retropie\configs), so you can use a decent text editor from your PC (Notepad++/TextEdit) to edit the files. None of them require the usage of the root account for editing.

      You'd need to modify /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the folder you want to share, with a similar set of configuration options as the other RetroPie share

      [...] [pi-home] comment = pi-home path = "/home/pi/" writeable = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755

      The easiest way would be to enable SSH and use WinSCP to see the files on the RetroPie system, you'll have access to the entire filesystem.

      Yes thx herb I am. Booting from an OLDEN 1TB hardrive that was top of the line a long time ago. I tried easus. waste of time. I tried mini partition tool. Nop. Only thing that worked? gParted. FTW!
      fdisk -l shows

      Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
      /dev/sda1 * 8192 124927 116736 57M e W95 FAT16 (LBA)
      /dev/sda2 124928 1953523711 1953398784 931.5G 83 Linux

      Moral of the story just use gPared. Everythig else is a waste of time.

      @fabio78 glad it worked. It’s one of the first huge issues I ran into when I started to make more advanced changes.

      I am curious why you would specifically want the Finder for this? Why not use a decent (S)FTP client like Cyberduck or Fugu?

      I now have it working. The SD card was working as it should, for some reason it was not automatically running the process to extend the filesystem, even after a reinstall. So i ran the command to do it my self.

      That has solved my issue and i now have all my roms copied across and everything is working well.

      @megafacehead Sound like an undersized card to me. Have you check what Linux reports as free space on the disk ? Log in via SSH or just drop to a command line by pressing F4 on the ES screen and run df -h to see how much space is available on the card.

      Thank you for that super-fast reply! I was looking at gparted but hadn't managed to get onto it around work - but that auto script seems to be just the ticket! I'll give it a crack and come back if something goes horribly wrong - if it doesn't we can assume this thread is closed :D
