@yfzdude thank you for replying, I feel that I do have to research/find other methods of transferring ROMs to my Pi/RetroPie though than this flashdrive, because frankly I've had more flashdrives fail than MicroSDs! (blame the amount of moving parts I guess...).

I just completed setting up the USB loader and it’s working great. I had some trouble, but a fresh flash and a reformat of my drive did the trick. Thanks for the help and advice!

@ShinraPie I hadn't seen that game, no - it does look a lot like what I remember from Abe's Oddissey, nice.

All those games are free to get, yes. Here are some of the links where you'll find most of the games. Others that may be older you'd have to search for individually:

Best.

EDIT: And apparently there's already a 2020 competition in the works here: https://yandex.ru/museum/yrgb-2020-en

@mitu Oh ok, that’s a bit of a bummer. At least I know why it doesn’t work though. No big deal, I mainly use it for MAME anyways. Thanks for all your help!

@Undistaya Glad I could help :)

You emulators.cfg for the gba system is corrupted. It should be:

lr-mgba = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mgba/mgba_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/gba/retroarch.cfg %ROM%" default = "lr-mgba"

Replace the file with the contents I pasted above and re-try.

@clewis said in Shock Troopers (shocktro.zip) not loading using FBA::

lr-mame2016 still does not compile on the pi, but the only rom I need it for at this point is DK remix Christmas edition.

I wouldn't mind adding support for it, but it seems it was some kind of private rom.

@dv8mad You need to enable SSH first before using WinSCP - see the docs https://retropie.org.uk/docs/SSH/. After you enable it, then you can use WinSCP and transfer the CD images.
But you'll get the same result if you transfer the files over file shares, copying them via file shares in \\retropie\roms\segacd. Make sure that the files have the proper case, i.e. .cue vs .CUE, and the .cue file (which is a normal text file) also has inside the correct .bin filename. Remember that Linux has a case sesitive filesystem.
Once you have copied the files, restart Emulationstation and see if the system shows up with the games. If they don't, check the log in /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt via WinSCP and see if you get any errors there.
More information about Sega CD games you find in the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Sega-CD/.

@douga There's a very famous solution that's been around for a long time called Keyrah, you can check it out here http://www.vesalia.de/e_keyrahv2.htm . I know the C64 runs quite well on VICE but because it's such a famous machine there are better solutions around in FPGA if your life depends on a good modern version of the C64 in your original case. No real need to software emulate this one.

@alortegac my coleco.rom is in /opt/retropie/configs/rom/coleco/ . I dont have one in bios. Try putting it there and give it 0777 permissions. I think it is an advmess/mame location but thats where i have it. I am doing a search to try to find any other locations i have it in.

@dankcushions

"(i believe i encountered it when a transfer via OSX/samba failed)"

I did use my Macbook to Transfer the Data, I should check at home what changes if I use my PC to transfer the data!

@BuZz yea i dont know any thing about linux except people that are smart with computers prefer it . Im trying to get in contact with then i cant get a response from loveRPI.I bought the whole starter kit with the control s heat sink and everything

@rbaker maybe he means 2Volts... then feck it. He's lucky to even see the CLI. Sort your PSU out, mate!
