@goestohollywood Don't worry about the order in the file: ES is always shuffling that around anyway if you have 'save metadata' enabled. The list SHOULD be in alphabetical order inside ES either way (or else it's conforming to any <sortname> tags you might have).

@NelloHD said in Error after Update setup Script:

I honestly don't understand where to check the version.

You can check the log file produced during the update, it should be one of the log files in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs. Find the file (they're time-stamped) and you can view it with zless $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs/<filename>.gz

how do i restore?

You can checkout a specific - major - version with

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup git checkout <version>

You can also rewind to a specific commit in time with

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup git checkout <commit-id>

but you need to know the commit-id.

@StigNasty said in Another total noob question:

Two questions: 1. What does this mean? 2. How do I do this?

It means you've been using a development branch of the RetroPie-Setup script and that branch (version) will be deleted, so you'll not be able to update in the future.

From the command line, execute the following:

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup git reset --hard git checkout master

OR

cd $HOME sudo rm -fr ./RetroPie-Setup git clone https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup

@Lumbeechief081 So, if you don't do it already, now that you've learned how quickly you can lose all the work you did is the perfect time to start making backups. 😉

I found a video here that applies for my situation:

What my friend did was just give me that SD card that was already on his pie. So what I am doing right now is backing it up to an .img file and then I will restore it onto a new SD card.

I just didn't know I could do that until you mentioned it hehe. Thanks a lot mate!

EDIT: I will share a screenshot of how this retropie looks like when it is done so you can see why I like it a lot.

Thank you for the fast answers.

Now I understand. I didn't understand that the m3u-Option is a separate method to pbp.

OK. Then i can go back to work :-D

Thx

It worked like a charm... thanks for the code dudleydes.

If anyone else is thinking about doing something similar, please bear in mind that you will also need to copy the Mame configurations (overwrite the mame folder in arcade), otherwise you'll loose your keyboard mappings and other configurations.

Cheers,
