thanks.

@mitu it should be called Rasputin.

@mitu Indeed. I have been careful about case. I manage some old school UNIX boxes at work, so I am not unfamiliar with case issues. I am using a keyboard attached directly, not SSH. Five reboots later, I was just able to get it to work. I have no explanation. (I have parkinson's and typically have a ton of typos, so I am going to just assume user error for now.)

@mitu Thank you so much. You were right. I had mixed line endings from editing it on Windows. It install and runs. It runs really slow on the Pi, but I'm sure I'll figure that out. @hhromic I have changed my script module to include the sources_superflappybirdsfunction as you have suggested. I'll also set it up under the ports folder. I am hoping to get the game added to zerojay/RetroPie-Extra repo, once it is working well.

@mitu Actually, I meant their physical size, 😊 but their smaller storage size makes backups and upgrades more practical, too. That said, SDHC officially goes up to 32 GB, but there are much bigger "SDHC" cards out there, of which some are said to work in a Pi, so … I'm using a 32 GB card for my Retropie system and an external ssd for the roms. For my backup, I plug both of them into my PC running Kubuntu Linux (the card via a usb adapter), mount the ssd into the roms directory of the sd, and then backup the whole directory structure like it exists on my Pi. Thus, I do not benefit from the sd card's smaller storage size, but I guess my method is fairly uncommon. 😉

@kingcraze Hi, first, post the details requested here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first How did you write the image? Is your card genuine?

@BuZz That's great news, since it can confuse new users who miss the message before it disappears (like I missed it back then). Thanks! edit: And thanks to @mitu for the pull request.

hi @EriHoss and everyone. to today someone could solve the problem of the audio HDMI?? i install @EriHoss retropie image, the emulation is very good, but I could not make the audio work. I tried to use build_installer.sh script to build new kernel 4.19, but it does not work either (in a Ubuntu 18.04 VM with docker disable) Any advance? Thanks PD: Sorry my english

@aclx-ks said in RetroPie Installation Transfer: Is it safe to copy the entire RetroPie folder at /home/RetroPie? You didn't mentioned which version are you running currently, but I think it should be safe. One thing I wouldn't copy over would be the roms/retropie subfolder, since that's managed by the RetroPie itself and would be created anyway by the installer.

@niculinux said in Base Retropie on Ubuntu instead of Raspbian?: Essenctially because upsting/upgrading versions in Ubuntu is more simple than Debian. No, it's not. Does Ubuntu provide a version for Raspberry PI which is easier and better supported than Raspbian ? RetroPie already supports Ubuntu - on the PC.

@retroboii Good luck! I’m glad you sorted it out in the end.

Just keep the hardware you have, and create an image on a clean SD as @mitu suggests, and you will have a proper retropie system, which will as you point out, will probably be more fun and reliable. Make sure your power supply is good enough though. Lots of people have issues with poor or under-powered ones. If you start getting a lightening flash on screen, you definitely have a power supply issue.

@rbaker Yes. They used my Pi with their set up and their set up no longer worked.

@mediamogul Thanks. I will try the Joystick Mapper.

@caver01 Again, great notes. Really appreciate the quick feedback! I'll get back to you on how this thing turns out!

@buzz thank you so much and I will read the forum advice

@retrocraze The manual method of using USB as ROM source should work.

I am looking into info-beamer's screenshot utility. While it does not support width and height it seems to have a better performance at larger resolutions. Based on what I have read, it seems to support full "streaming" instead of just grabbing screenshots every few seconds, but I haven't figured that part out yet.

@milesacul yes
