@mitu it's the macintosh folder, and here's the contents:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 0 Nov 15 02:31 Desktop -rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 209715200 Nov 20 11:22 disk.img drwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 131072 Nov 19 13:41 .finf -rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 1048576 Sep 14 2010 mac.rom drwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 131072 Nov 19 13:41 .rsrc -rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 0 Nov 19 09:18 start.txt

Inside of the .finf directory appears to be a duplicate (symlinks?) of the macintosh directory:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 32 Nov 20 11:22 Desktop -rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 32 Nov 19 11:38 disk.img -rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 32 Nov 19 11:38 mac.rom -rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 32 Nov 19 13:41 start.txt

Inside of the .rsrc directory has another Desktop and start.txt file:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 321 Nov 18 23:32 Desktop -rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 0 Nov 19 13:41 start.txt

I checked the start.txt files and they are both empty, so it must be in the basiliskii.cfg or other config file to dictate which backend it's using, and maybe if I'm lucky... I can manually define my resolution there? And maybe I can clean up the "start" listings and/or rename that? Can you point me somewhere to teach me about the use of start.txt files in RetroPie? I can't seem to find it in the docs.

@2Play Yeah - I will sort this.

@Unknown I made the same mistake when I first started looking into building my first Retropie then remembered that the NeoGeo home console (AES) was essentially the same hardware as the arcade unit (MVS) but could only have one cartridge as opposed to the up to six cartridges of the cabinet.

Sometimes roms can come back with multiple possibilities while being scraped. Scrapers like Skyscraper for example, will usually pick what it thinks is the best match. I believe you can use scrape by checksum to ensure scraping accuracy.

You can always delete the gamelist.xml and re-scrape your roms.

@mitu thanks dude, that was it.
i had removed everything with kodi- before it in
synaptic package manager and then reinstalled kodi
from binary in retropie and restarted retropie/es
and now kodi shows up and runs within ports!
thanks you

Thanks guys! Notepad++ did the trick for me. Most likely the most essential piece of software for windows for me :)

@darkroll some info on this askubuntu thread https://askubuntu.com/questions/2007/how-do-i-change-the-plymouth-bootscreen

I have the same problem,running scart as well.

I just want my audio to sync up correctly,it was working just fine then my sd card crashed and had to do a new install.

@mitu Thank you ;-)

hi @H3RBSKI

glad to see you're using Amiberry and I guess WHDLoad packages :) I'll do my best to assist but if you don't mind I'd like to keep things as clean as possible. Hence if we could continue on the following thread that would be great. This is where I gave details and working uae files for many different configurations and games.

Please let's continue here, if you don't mind => Amiberry thread

Then to answer your question, ensure youres_systems.cfg file (look under /home/pi/.emulationstation/) does contain a section about Amiga/Amiberry. Here's an excerpt from mine:

<system> <fullname>Amiga</fullname> <name>amiga</name> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga</path> <extension>.uae</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ amiga %ROM%</command> <platform>amiga</platform> <theme>amiga</theme> </system>

Also make sure that in your emulators.cfg file (under /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/) the following lines are there:

amiberry = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh auto %ROM%" amiberry-a500 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh rp-a500.uae %ROM%" amiberry-a1200 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh rp-a1200.uae %ROM%" default="amiberry"

After making sure both files are ok, reboot the system and Amiga should be there ready for you!

Any other questions please post them on the other thread.
Thanks and happy gaming!

@ectoone these are all good ideas and I will look into them.

@magostinelli kindly check my comments on github

@pbizzle said in Where are the ROMS?!:

@dankcushions should all the ROMs be .zip files?

not for all systems, no. you can find out the possible extension(s) for a given system by looking at the wiki page. eg https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System

Thank you Buzz! I'm going to install a 32bit versión Ubuntu instead.

@BuZz I'll check, but I believe they are under arcade..anything else it may be?

One other question. Is there any way to leave it as is if they are in the wrong folder, but get Lrmame2003 and lrmame2010 to show up when selecting A on loading? Maybe a config file or something?

Thanks

@gassyninja87 Please start a new topic providing more information as detailed in the link below

Ok I fixed this! :)

So for anyone that has this problem in the future this is what I have done:

Update the Retropie script in the retropie config menu Set the screen resolution & shader I wanted to use in the config menu Update from source the kid friendly emulation station add on (I tried uninstalling it first but that bricked the image) Test everything is working, Which for me it now appears to be :)

Rbaker, Thanks for your input.
The kiosk mode I refer to is a experimental emulation station that allows the retro menu and a few other things to be locked out to make them child friendly.
I will also look at getting a bigger PSU.
Thanks.

@BuZz said in Not finding ROMs in certain SubDirectories:

subfolders are not supported when using gamelists afaik.

Do gamelists house the database-esque lists for every emulators ROMs? (I really know nothing about them to be truthful...just assumed if games weren't showing up I could try and delete the gamelist so it can be rebuilt)

All I know is I have ROM's for NES, SNES, Genesis, and now N64, complete with subfolders. Don't know if deleting the gamelists, or rebuilding all those packages fixed it but it's working so I'm happy.

@BuZz I find it strange that happened. I never messed around with those configuration files because I didn't want to break anything.
Sure enough, I went in and changed the volume to 100 and it's back. Thank you very much.
