@mitu Thanks for the reply,

Unfortunately this is not the information I was wanting. This information is good IF your using packages within Retropie but not external emulators away from Retropie. It doesn't explain why it would load an emulator but not dump the rom on load up.

sorry I am new to the fine detail on simple codes. Thanks for the help

@mitu If retroarch is looking for and the bios, which folder? As if there is a folder it is searching at all it could be worth to drop it into that folder. I reinstalled and nothing.

@buzz Hi, Im having this same issue but with Linux Mint Debian Edition 4 (debbie). Could you add the work around for that as well please, cheers.

@obsidianspider I would follow this tutorial. It is basically the same thing that I did. The screens mother board is just a tad bit different looking but the idea is the same. I took off the converter chip and wired up ground and power directly to the ground and input to the mother board..... If that makes sense??? If this does not help Ill send you a picture of how its wired up. =]
