      @colstar yeah that's understandable if you are new to this. My point is you don't even have to use a UBS stick to transfer ROMs. Can do it all with your PC and its not even a very technical process. But if you like the USB way that's cool

      @lilejustin i expect your old pi3 was a model b. do you mean you now have the pi 3 model b+? that could require a firmware upgrade that your old image may not have had. i suggest you start again: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

      you could try and harvest the old games and settings from your old sd card via an sd card reader and an OS that can read the ext4 partition, but IMO this is ultimately more trouble than just starting over.

      You can use thumbnail video preview in Windows explorer to sort your files. If there is no preview, then the Pi4 will not be able to read it correctly.
      Download a video encoder like Shutter Encoder and tune settings to your convenience.

      Back-up your ROMs/BIOS/Configs via file shares from you exiting Pi 3 installation - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#making-a-backup-option-2, then install/flash the new Pi 4 image on the SD card. After installation restore the files you backed up in the previous step using file shares to the same locations (BIOS/ROMS/configs).

      It's always advisable to make a backup of your existing installation, but you already did this,

      @Blackhero How are you starting RetroArch ? AFAIK, you need to start with a Disc enabled libretro core for the options to be available. This includes SegaCD, PCEngine-CD, 3DO and Saturn for the PI.
      You should start a game in one of these systems and then check if the disk menus (LOAD/DUMP) show up.

      JL 2600

      @JL-2600 UPDATE: I ending up trying to update to 4.6 again, but this time it updated only RetroPie and nothing else. Everything seems to be working just fine this time!

      When I originally tried the update a few days ago, it also updated the emulators, so perhaps it was one of those emulator updates that was causing the problem.

      Thanks!

      @MDtar7 Im running out of ideas, but try enabling SMB 1.0 support on your PC.
      Its in Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows Feature On or Off and select SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support. Restart your computer and try it again.

      Use raspi-config and configure the system to auto-login to the console. If EmulationStation doesn't start automatically after a reboot, then use the setup script to enable the autostart of EmulationStation - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-boot-to-the-desktop-or-kodi.

      Is there any reason you're not using the RetroPie image directly ?

      @dankcushions said in Best way to set up multitap?:

      @lesk no, each system page in the wiki will have specific instructions to set up multitaps for a given system. eg https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1#multitap-3-5-players

      Sorry for late reply, but thanks! As I understand it, for the playstation you have to do some manual changes for each games that dosen't support analog etc.
      But for Snes, Nes, Sega and Arcade I can just go in via the retroarch menu while playing a game and add multitap support and core save.

      @F4CEpa1m your retropie is out of date. Did you update? You probably need to start from a 4.5.x image.

      Hard to advise without details of your setup.

      Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

      @merkury187 said in video snaps and core help:

      How do you enable Use Local Art? I have my videos named "romname.mp4" so I will rename them to "romname-video.mp4"

      Open the Emulationstation menu with Start and try looking through the available options - I think it's in the UI sub-menu (?).

      Also, so that is what that little pop up box is for, not sure how I missed that in the Docs. What does this part mean: "(the bottom face button is recommended as to not accidentally change anything) " ?

      Use the A or B buttons.
