@herb_fargus Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, coming from a MS DOS/MS Windows background I'm certainly not a linux expert so I'm constantly being surprised at the small nuances here and there. I suspect formatting as EXT2/3/4 would help, but that would defeat my purpose of then having it easily readable/accessible on my desktop (which is non-Linux). :)

I did hack away with OSX Fuse this morning to read a EXT4 partition from a previous backup of mine on a Macbook (it seems the retroarch update must have either removed the previous shader folders I had, or changed their locations, so I'm going to copy them back).

I had mounted this manually from back in 3.6/3.7, and it has always worked perfectly asides from these chown errors which I take are par for the course using FAT32 in the current set up :)

No big deal anyway, it's always fun. Thanks everyone!

click / double click the ".." entry and keep doing that until you are at "/" then goto /home/pi/Retropie/roms/amiga there you'll see your roms.

you can also edit the main config to use that location directory or type it in the editbox above.

the script i used to generate uae files had support for multi disk image and loads them automatically.

@darknior said in Where's the RetroPie-Setup API docs?:

Will it be possible to choose to the FONT or you auto use the same as the THEME ?
Because i think it is cool if we can use a font we use in the theme :)

It uses the same font as the theme, as you can see in the examples in this topic: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7193/runcommand-launching-images-for-any-theme/2

You can make suggestions on that thread ;-)

@BuZz Thanks a million for your help! I ended up installing the latest elementary OS 0.4 Loki, updated the Retropie-Setup script and voila!
Thanks once again!

Kind regards,

Verified fixed. Thanks @BuZz !

@SohailNassiri No problem. Again. I'm just sitting watching YouTube and doing not very much. Happy to help. Most people on this forum are more than willing to help out someone struggling but they do expect you to read the resources available and to provide all the info needed. Simply because everyone's set-up is so different and there are so many variables that it can just turn into a guessing game sometimes. Anyway, good luck. If you encounter any further issues unrelated to installation I would advise you to search the forum first then start a new thread if you can't find a solution.

@BuZz
Sorry I am new to this.

@Corykrist1 Resizing the image created from win32diskimager is a little tricky, but it can be done if necessary. See this post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6470/script-to-resize-shrink-win32-disk-imager-retropie-images

You'll probably have an easier time if you just back up your roms/configs folders after accessing your pi on the network (via \\retropie), and then copy them back onto your new installation on a smaller SD card.

@kouen922 looks like SD card corruption. Might be worth testing out another micro SD card just to be sure.

Also we can't read minds, if you want to narrow down your issue you need to explicitly detail your setup steps etc detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Easiest way I've found is to just take it one step at a time documenting each step to narrow down where exactly things go wrong

@kassult said in RPi B doesn't boot into controller setup:

If I remember correctly the B only needs 0.5A so I figured I was fine.

It needs more than twice that - 1.2 A

@BuZz No overclocked, dmesg say "Out of memory: Kill process 27546 (cc1plus) score 413 or sacrifice child". The complete dmesg: http://pastebin.com/jTHKLBQr.
I'm trying with lightdm disabled. Thanks.
Edit: Fail without lightdm, I will try with multiboot.

@sinfolmatt Please use the official installation instructions

Note the part where it refers to downloading the correct image / number of raspberries shown on boot.

@buzz Thanks so much for this !!!!!! I am not sure what happened with last update a few months ago but I had the exact same problem when I tried to to get the latest update. None of the retropie menu options worked and the command like setup did nothing. Your command has certainly helped a huge amount. Now I am just getting "Temporary failure resolving 'raspbian.raspberrypi.org'" errors and "error cannot lock ref 'refs/tags/4.7': unable to resolve reference. But great progress, thank you

@vbs It's not a bad idea (I have thought a lot about it - especially when I was doing the reorganisation of the retropie-setup menus), I just think it's really only retroarch which would benefit (maybe a couple of others) - so it's whether the work is worth it. I'm pretty certain it will be me who has to maintain this long term too. I'll see how retroarch develops though and reconsider it in the future if it seems required.

Would you mind sharing how you got the Harmony remote working with Kodi?

You (and everyone who experiences this) have updated every single package from source, while having too many things installed. It literally takes ages to compile everything. Just update via binaries next time :)

I tried them both now, and nestopia definitely has the better audio emulation. Mario 1 dying sounds so inaccurate in fceumm. In the past, nestopia had this strange sound bug every now and then but I no longer hear it. Though, maybe the fceumm audio accuracy might be improved in the future?

And can I recommend having the Unsaturated or Nes-Classic Palette as default? They look much better on both emulators.
