@cyperghost Thank for the advice, I'll see what I can do! :)

@Smythius said in Emulation Station crashed!: Could under-rated wires inside the case be contributing to the low power as well? I don't know, can you connect the power supply without those cables and test it like this? On a side note. do you know of a good place to get a 3.5mm to RCA Composite AV Cable that works with the RP3? Alas, I don't know that either, because I didn't need such a cable in my household, yet. The value of such tips also depend very much on where you live. I live in Germany; since it's 9 a.m. here and you posted about 5 hours before me, I doubt that you do, too. ;)

@quicksilver said in File permissions through FTP: @LaneG22 If you are attempting to modify those files over an FTP program then you will need to enable remote root access. sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config Find the line #PermitRootLogin without-password and change to PermitRootLogin yes Make sure to set your root password as well if you havent already done so. You should now be able to login remotely as user root. Thank you

@edmaul69 Thank you, problem solved. Hopefully this will help people in the future.

@mitu That makes sense. I understand. Thanks for your help!

I rebuilt my image using the Attract Mode build and updated everything following Floob's advice. I redid it last night from scratch - and editing the config.tx and cmdline.txt files were successful. I presume I must have missed something or other that caused an issue with the folders. I still need to try Cyberduck, but am now optimistic about being able to SSH. Hopefully it was just an issue with my install. Thank you for all of the help. Will keep you posted.

@mikepd213 Re-install all your packages, do an update, then try again. You probably messed up the permissions (executable bit) on your files.

@robin76 How about starting with https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ? Please give the answers for the questions on that page, especially the RP version and what emulator are you using to run the ROM. Files in the ROM folders should never be owned by root, how did you transfer your ROMs ?

@dankcushions said in Can´t change emulators - Tried a command and now its weird.: @lesk said in Can´t change emulators - Tried a command and now its weird.: @mitu Don't think I´ve fiddled with any permissions. but then On the last post there is a link to another thread with a command that I first tried: sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/configs that's "fiddling with permissions" :) anyway, one thing you can try: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#reset-ownershippermissions-of-homepiretropie-roms Hahaha, that just shows how much of a noob I am ^^ Thanks, I will try this when I'm back home.

Well I guess I got this figured out and on the way learned WHAT NOT TO DO lol. Now to figure out this mausberry bit so I can get the switches to behave how I would like..... Power = Power on and proper shutdown when powered on Reset = when in emulation reset back to retropie gui/main screen, when at retropie main screen and reset is hit a proper reset is performed Keep your eyes peeled for another noon post, because I've read a lot about these mausberry switches and am quite lost how to get the performance I would like. I will make another thread for that tho as its completely off topic for this one.

PINN allows you to install Retropie directly to an USB stick. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=142574

@mitu yup I'm very aware of all of that. and I did some snooping around in retroarch. and now this is VERY weird. I accidentally deleted the entire rom list I had in the SNES dir. sent it all back on SSH, tried a game and VOILA, now it saves. I have no idea as to why or how its working now

@vretro said in Can’t Remove emulator choice for ROM: @mitu that was quick, the directory flashes up so quickly, but I’ll try to record the screen to catch it. Or try to catch it using the Pause key of your keyboard. I don’t know how to repair permissions via terminal, will have to look that up. It depends whether the owner is wrong or the actual access permissions. To change the owner, look up chown, to change the permissions, look up chmod. Or give us the output of this command after you found out the directory and we may tell you the necessary command(s). ls -ld name_of_directory

@AlexMurphy However, exophase will do whatever he wants regardless. True, and we shouldn't go around walking on eggshells, but a consideration to his wishes regarding the beta certainly doesn't seem inappropriate. No additional work has been done on the Pi version of DraStic since the Beta as far as I know. That's tough to gauge. He maintains that his work there will resume when he gets time. Plus, we really don't know what's been done so far. DraStic is normally paid software on most platforms and I'm sure they get a higher priority. Anyone been in contact with him? He's remained quiet. There are a few others that have commented on the issue here as well.

@rridenour can you show a way to reproduce your issue?

@rsimmy it should be permanent. Have you moved the configs into another device anything? Or any custom scripts? Did you install RetroPie under a normal user instead of root?

@edmaul69 It keeps turning itself off. Like I turn it on, exit, but when I come back it's turned off. I've even gone into retroarch.cfg to turn it on, but it still turns itself off.
