@z1mzum Welcome to the forum. In general, it's better to open your own thread for your questions instead of using other's threads in the hope that a solution for your problem comes along. That said, a quick advice: If you can access your Pi over the network via SSH, you can use its file manager from afar. Just enter mc on the command line after logging into the Pi.

@zerojay hiya, sorry to bring up such an old post, i am desperate for some help getting the .sh files in pc ports menu to play now the script has run its course fully (yes the metadata shows and everything is bang on the right place, yet running the games from menu kicks back to menu screen. You mention here about a part of the script capitalising the +dosbox.sh script which stops anything running - i think this is my problem, could you explain a fix for this pretty please with sugar on top? thanks bud.

@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...
