@pjft Thank you kindly, sir. The warm welcome means a lot, but there's no need to worry. I'm still somewhat swamped until after the holidays, but I do plan on keeping a tab open here to help out with the most recent round of spammers. Those guys are relentless.

@oldversions it's a request for help so it goes in help and support. I'll move it. You can install whatever parts of retropie you like https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/

I'm a bit occupied with other projects at the moment, there might be no updates this week either :/

Installed the image last night, started loading my ROMS manually also. I like the concept of the naming conventions and they way the lists are pre-generated so dropping a ROM in with the correct name, they just appear. I changed to Robospin_v4 on the main screen as I didn't like the up/down movement go left/right.
