@mitu Alright. I appreciate your trying to help. I'll move the roms back to the sd card. Please let me know if you think of anything else.

Thanks again.

@when_suddenly said in PiGRRL Zero troubleshooting adding roms:

The problem is none of the emulators show up on boot. I looked at another form for this issue and apparently they had their "Parse Gameslists only" option set to on... however I cannot even access that option in the emulation station main menu. The "other settings" tab is completely missing.

That means you're using a very old EmulationStation (and possibly RetroPie) version. Emulators not showing up on boot means also that they're not installed. Looking at the date of the installation document, it's from 2016, so it looks like they're using an old image.

Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download and we can provide support, otherwise ask the provider of the image for help.

As an alternative you could create soft/symbolic links from the roms folder on your two usb drives to the systems roms folder on RetroPie.

The command to do so would be.
ln -s file1 link1

An example of linking psx roms from usb drive to the psx roms folder on RetroPie

ln -s /media/usb/psx /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx

This will create a soft symbolic link of all the files in the specific folder.

Look at the file1 as the source and link1 as the destination and change them to the correct location of each folder.

This is what i have done and it works most of the time but sometimes it does not as it looks like the mount of the USB name changes when restarting the RPI and that breaks the soft links. This approach is great if you don't want the usbromservice to move everything and just want to keep only the roms on the USB drive.

Edit: I think that maybe by using both soft symbolic links and then make sure that the USB drive always will be mounted as ex. USB0 or Your USB Drive then it would work great.

@mitu

I just check it my screen says use percentage 100%

In network I deleted bunch of ps1 and seems to be working now as far as I can tell. Thank you so mich!!

:D means the double click on a file doesn't open the associated program... ;) Well, that sounds logical.

I edited the smb.conf and it works perfectly. Thanks so much!!!
