@AmigaMoreThanCLi If this is the StarTech.com USB to M.2 SATA Converter, it only supports SATA M.2 drives.

Samsung EVO 970 Plus is an NVMe drive. It will never work in this board. You need a SATA M.2 drive.

Thread necro, but same problem, and a way to resolve...

Get into the command prompt go to the ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary directory Delete the old retropie-manager.sh file Download the correct script from the github repo (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/retropie-manager.sh) Go back to RetroPie setup again and now the script should work and install retropie-manager.

("code" is below if needed)

F4 cd ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary rm -r retropie-manager.sh wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/retropie-manager.sh

@suikodentir Care to share how exactly? It may help others in the future.

@Sparkathor said in Minimize games selection with removing them from sd card:

Would it be easier if I have a couple thousand games to just pick the few I want available as kids games then switch to "kidgame" mode?

Yes, this is how Kid mode works.

Can I make a new collection and fill it with those games tagged as kid games and then have only that single collection show up when in "kidgame" mode? Even if they are for different emulators?

No, the systems from which the game are picked will also be shown.

@mitu Just a quick update. I compared the .bin/.cue files on my pi to the database. It turned out, that half of the .bin file was corrupted so I just had to put them again on my Pi0. And now MGS runs pretty well. Thanks for the help! :)

@myzar nice, okay so we just needed to look harder in posts hehe, thanks

@kingfrankbob Your last post doesn't seem to fit to this topic. Wrong thread?

@Carnov
If you have no interest in any "3D gaming" then your best bet is the Pi 3B+. It's extremely reliable and the support is outstanding. I can get nearly all systems to run quite well, up to and including, Playstation 1 emulation which was considerably more powerful than any 16-bit console up to that point, barring a couple. If you're planning on emulating systems like the NES, SNES, Genesis, Master System, etc from the late 1980's to the mid to late 1990's then the 3B+ will do everything you'll ever need it to.

Like I said, the support for this model is outstanding here. I have nearly zero knowledge of the intricacies of any version of Linux and I was able to get the OS installed and my system running with very little trouble. Just make sure you follow the instructions. All systems after installation will require a period of time for you to acclimate yourself to the OS, RetroArch, Emulation Station and the many settings and options you'll have to browse and fiddle with to get everything right where you want it.

Each game can have custom options through RetroArch and the amount of control given to the end-user is fantastic. I truly commend the RetroPie team for all their hard work.

@GoodBoy said in [PiShrink] Creating new /etc/rc.local does not end - takes forever.:

@mitu

My apologies.

I would say I waited about an hour and it was still trying to create the etc/rc.local

It is a 64GB card, with about 32GB used space. I have just put the image on a 128GB card and I am going to camp this one out for a few hours.

If that doesn't work, I am thinking about removing the etc/rc.local and retrying it. Not too sure what that will achieve but it's worth a go.

@GoodBoy Why are you trying to shrink the image if you are going to place it on a 128 GB card ? Do a backup of the image..transfer it to the 128GB card and .you will have to expand the filesystem to access the full space on the card

I just remembered that Retropie is doesn't support Buster yet so it would'nt work on Retropie just yet.

Okay cool it might be a while I am doing a portapie homemade so I have to get that fixed and finished before I do that

It looks like your USB gamepad is detected as Player2 - the Sony Vaio keyboard is somehow detected as the 1st joypad connected:

[INFO] [udev]: Pad #0 (/dev/input/event5) supports 0 force feedback effects. [INFO] [Autoconf]: 1 profiles found. [INFO] [Autoconf]: no profiles found for Sony Vaio Keys (4173/0). [INFO] [udev]: Plugged pad: usb gamepad (2064:58625) on port #1. [INFO] [Autoconf]: 1 profiles found. [INFO] [autoconf]: selected configuration: /home/esteban/.config/retroarch/autoconfig/usb gamepad .cfg [INFO] [udev]: Pad #1 (/dev/input/event3) supports 0 force feedback effects.

You can use the advanced configuration editor and re-order the gamepads by setting the gamepad order for all Libretro based emulators.

@eddygenotype You're welcome! I have been sort of obsessively documenting things in RetroPie lately, and your question was well-timed. :)

@Dyelon hey pal, did you ever get it fixed? Having exact same issue as yourself. Bought USB encoders from amazon same thing.

Mystic Mine is a Python game included in RetroPie. You can find it in the Experimental packages. I strongly recommend you to study how this game is programmed as it runs very well on the Raspberry Pi.

The scriptmodule that installs and configures this game in RetroPie is here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/mysticmine.sh

@Clyde, this is a co-workers unit and he couldn't remember all of the details about it but I think that you are correct about it being a non official retropie image. It had a very out-dated version and when I updated everything is where the issue happened. I will talk with him at work Monday, explain what happened and let him know that I will set him up with an official copy.

Thanks to all that offered help with this issue.
