@MarcuFinx76 said in Unable to install packages: but I do have a picture of the log opened on the RetroPie setup itself if that also works I don't think that's what we need. Copy the log file over to your mac/PC and unpack it first.

You are truely a hero! Your solution works very well. I have tested the easyrpg player with my homemade RPG and it works, as far as I have played, without any differences compered to the windows pc version. Thanks a lot!

@fluffypillow thanks again for putting this together. For better or worse it has inspired me to start on a Pi4 build and hopefully learn a bit more about this stuff. And to the rest of the team keep on doing the amazing stuff that you do.

@avih7531 The Wii emulator (dolphin) is only available for the PC builds, it can't run on a Raspberry Pi.

@mitu said in Removed emulationstation-dev help: @paffley Just install Emulationstation (the regular package) from the core packages section. Thanks @mitu I installed a fresh ES from binary then had to re-add es_systems.cfg content from an old backup I had (modified). All working now thank you! keep up the super work!

@BillyH If you haven't fiddled with the RA's configuration, the save files would stay alonside your ROM files, in the roms sub-folders. Once you access the file shares (\\retropie\roms), you can easily check the contents of those folder and see your save files (most of them have the .srm extension).

@Jareth247 Glad you got it working; I don't think the power switch script had anything to do with it - although the incorrect file that was causing the problem for apt could have been produced by an improper shutdown in the middle of an install operation.

Thank you @mitu You're a star :) Rob

@jareth247 You should open a new topic and provide the latest update log, as described in this topic. And please also add more information about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

This is not implemented, you either update all installed or individually.

@mitu Thank for that info. I did remove the !kms and it build with no errors, but I get this when I try to run dosbox DOSBox version 0.74 Copyright 2002-2010 DOSBox Team, published under GNU GPL. Exit to error: Can't init SDL Unable to open mouse So it's a start...

@proxycell said in Building packages with retropie_packages.sh has terrible results!: it comes with some packages I'd rather avoid Which can easily be uninstalled through the setup script too.

@mitu and just to add a lot fo experimental packages are source only so it would make sense it takes a really long time to update if there are lots of experimental packages installed.

Hi both, Thank you for your responses. Popped out for a couple of hours, and it seemed to have completed. This ties in with the 3-4 hours stated above (Pi 3 Model B, Overclocked to 1.35ghz)

What about using a USB stick, would that work for you? Check out the documentation, in the Getting Started section there is a whole page on Transferring Roms: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/ EDIT: Sorry re-read your post, emulators, not roms.....never mind

@BuZz That explains a lot, thanks ! My Murphy curse was at it again... @Darksavior you were right anyway ;)

Hello fellows. I would like to say thanks! The cec-utils package is pretty handy. The udev rules are perfect! The only addition I've made on my arcade build was adding a turn off monitor.sh script in RetroPie Menu. #!/bin/bash # turn off monitor.sh ################# # Actually puts the monitor on stand by mode. echo standby 0 | cec-utils -s -d 1

Installed version 4.1 and all seems good so far. Thanks for looking, Sam
