@meleu That requires a kickstarter account :-/

@itsnitro you have the linux partition and the boot partition. It is always like this when you install retropie.

@chrisdodgen said in Oops, I broke Retropie Setup. Question about re-imaging.:

Can I just use windisk32 and rewrite the image directly over this one without doing anything else?

Absolutely yes! When you write an image to a SD card all the previous data is overwritten.

@petrockblog Sorry, forum rules prohibit that. Just do a simple google search for them and options come up. I do love your ControlBlock though, thanks for making it!

@Freakadude said in Strange cloned RetroPie Image issue!:

This is a self backup and restore issue/question.

Sorry for assuming you were using a 3rd party image. I hope our fellows posts above helped you.

Cheers!

try recuva

I love this idea, do you have a few example of the images you are planning you use or do you know of any readily available? I haven't found anything other than this article with my google-fu. Thanks.

@AlexMurphy said in Pocket PiGRRL image won't boot:

@basteluwe You are asking RetroPie why their image works and a third party modified image doesn't? You would really need to address your query to adafruit whose image it is.

No, I'm not asking Retropie! I'm asking experianced guys here at this forum for advice!
But forget it. I used the basic package and did the changes manually myself. So, problem solved (for me at least).

@AmigaGamer it will be.

@KANE81

a creator called nacho skinny.

You mean THE nacho skinny? What's the skinnster been up to these days? If he ever tries to tell you a story about a trip to Cancun, a walnut farm and a circus performer named Millie, he's a liar. That lady got her shoes back.

@herb_fargus edited my reply, see where i made the mistake in my answer

@BuZz @Capeman Thanks for your suggestions!! I will try them out 😉

@cloudlink My feelings exactly!

When I found RetroPie I loved that it was something that you needed to tinker with to perfect. I'm still not convinced I've managed to perfect everything on mine yet because I've barely touched MAME Emulation on my NES build yet!

It took me back to when I was in college messing with Photoshop to make wallpapers for my PC desktop because the ones I found online were not what I wanted. I found these the other day on my current PC (I loathe to delete my old data and it follows me around) and I've made about 200 of them! Like I ever changed my wallpaper that much!

As you say though, if people want something slicker and easier to use then there's other Emulation options such as the Nes mini or iPhone/Android emulators. I've got a really powerful emulator personally; it's called my PC.

I love RetroPie because it makes this little £35 circuit board thing with flashy lights and bare input pins sticking out into something wonderful. Plus, you can shoehorn it into things and make amazing things happen like building your own Arcade Machine! Things that dreams are made of people. Dreams...

Thanks for give me inforation

Got it to work found out that the file never fully transferred over and thats why it wasn't showing up. Also if you use filezilla to transfer files over a ethernet cable make sure you use port number 22 or it will not let you connect to the pi

@sigmanutz Ideally you'd look at the dimension of the 64Gb drive with df and note the number of total blocks of the / partition, then compare to the df output from your 128Gb card (also in blocks) and note the number of blocks used.
But, just to make sure, just backup the biggest ROMs folder to your PC and you're sure to get a smaller image and the creation process will also be shorter. You can then move back the ROMs to the new system.

Thanks Gyperghost..

Looks like you are doing it wrong. Try it a different way, one that works
