Errors running ROMs from USB

TMNTturtlguy

@brettsalyer can you recreate the error? If you shut down, put the USB in and start back up, will the error code show on your screen? How did you see the error the first time?

@brettsalyer said in Errors running ROMs from USB:

Is it possible for me to just rename the folders for each system,

I am not sure what you mean? When you put the roms into the retropie-mount/roms/ folder did you not put them into folders with names that matched the systems? I am assuming that all of your NES roms are in the nes folder, all of your super nintendo are in snes

is this the case?

brettsalyer

@TMNTturtlguy Yes, I can't get rid of the error. It happened as soon as I finished transferring over all my ROMs to the appropriate folder (as you've mentioned already). I plugged it back in and boom! Error. Can't make it stop unless I pull the USB out. And I only mean that if I rename the ROM directories, that the system may ignore them if they're an improper name. So that I don't have to delete the files themselves. So that I can test for any possible bad files without deleting them

@brettsalyer not sure on that, you could give it a try. it would be great if you could provide the entire error code

brettsalyer

@TMNTturtlguy I'm giving you all that I can see. I'm not sure where it would be logged if there was more information.

TMNTturtlguy

@brettsalyer ok, that is fine. what i would do is delete the files and add them back in system by system and see what works.

@TMNTturtlguy Doing that now. (By the way, aren't you the guy who created the comic theme? Love that theme :) )

Gameboy check
Gameboy Color check
Atari (5200, 7800, Lnyx, & ST) check
Gameboy Advance check
N64 check
All other systems now working!

That is me! Thanks for the kind words. Working on the 4:3 version tonight, hopeing for a huge update to both versions early next week.

brettsalyer

@TMNTturtlguy Good luck with that! Definitely looking forward to it! And thanks for your help. So far so good, maybe it just didn't like me adding them in such huge bulk. We shall see shortly. Will update the list as I finish the tests. (By the way, how do I format code in the forum posts? I can't seem to be able to find that function...

@brettsalyer good luck!

@brettsalyer it looks like you have everything running!?! Do you mind sharing with us if you found the issue? Or did just reinstalling the roms to the USB card fix the problem? Thanks
