"how to" mame beginners
-
@drewpie1895 Please name the files you transferred.
-
@drewpie1895 as @rbaker said above, we are only guessing, because you did not share any details about what you are doing/seeing. But we have good guesses based on what you did share. If you could take a single ROM file from your set, like dkong.zip for example, and put that in the arcade folder, then reboot, you will know.
-
@drewpie1895 Yes you are. Just relax and explain what you are doing. What files you are putting where? I bet you can get this working in 20 minutes IF you explain what you are doing.
-
@jonnykesh I've been "coming back" for over a day, all i want to do is play some old skool arcade games to take me back to my youth.
-
@drewpie1895 We are all sat around you here waiting for your success! Our sanity depends on it! Name the files! Describe your steps!

That is all any of us wants!
-
@drewpie1895 Take a break, go for a smoke, cup of coffee or walk or whatever.
Come back and post what you are actually doing and it will work. You just seem very agitated atm. -
@rbaker I'm going as quick as i can but i can only post every three minutes for some reason the rom files are many 1942, defender etc
-
@drewpie1895 Great news! Now copy any single one of those into the Arcade folder and reboot. Voila! Old School gaming!
:) -
@drewpie1895 What is the full name of the file and where are you putting it? Just concentrate on getting one working.
-
@rbaker errors are logged to /dev/shm/runcommand.log
-
@drewpie1895 Man, seriously. If you want help PLEASE just post what it is you are doing and someone will spot the problem. Just take the time and post exactly what you are doing.
Also, are you using the official image downloaded from the RetroPie website? -
@drewpie1895 my offer still stands, anybody who wants to make an "easy" £100 and fix this mess please get in touch.
-
@drewpie1895 Sorry mate, you seem to be too focused on your problem rather than fixes, I can't help you. You have been asked for information that is NEEDED again and again yet you refuse to post it.
Good luck but I'm out, I can only ask so many times. -
@jonnykesh i retraced my steps earlier, my image is official, I'm running ones and nes games no problem

I don't have to wear high heels or anything do I?
-
@mediamogul at this point you can take a
[...]on my face if it helps. -
@drewpie1895 I know you're frustrated but I think everyone is trying to help and I'd refrain from that talk.
Can you look in your arcade rom folder either from the command line or winscp and tell us what files are listed?
