RetroPie 4.3.17 Stretch images

BuZz

@j2001m well, if you can reproduce a problem with the official image we will look into it. We don't support 3rd party images.

Hi
I can comfirm that both problems are the same on your above image posted on this site
I.e. n64 games will only run 1 time
And you have to press a key at boot when overclocked to get it to start

They used your base image to get there images and they only added things into the retro pi menu and not recoded your os I.e. like easy remove unused images and keeping the game list to the only used file types and so on I.e. no core code changes

@j2001m Pressing a key at boot might be a Raspbian Stretch issue. if they have put a confirmation or something in, then it will be present in our system. I will check.

I will look into the n64 issue.

I don't care if they use our base image - they also ship our software with copyrighted games and make changes that we don't know about. Discussion of 3rd party images is not welcome here.

The image in my video had no games added,it’s a base image with things that’s need to be added to restro pi basic image and why it always gets used over your own images

BuZz

@j2001m Many of them do but it still has changes we don't know about and we will not support them. It doesn't "always get used" over our image. Stop making things up.

I was more on about your beta as there is no direct link on your site to it
I.e. way more will have downloaded the image he was using than your beta image, you the main download as you going to be the main fixer and not that image maker, but I be thinking you get the idea

@j2001m I overclocked my rpi3 to 1300Mhz and did not have to press a button to boot. Please provide more information on this - including for example any text displayed and what overclocking settings you used.

I have done some more tests and it’s just the overclock setting that was being used in the video, why they work for the old pi the new one is a no go, please just work on the n64 problems,

I am also finding that sometime the keyboard does not load for like raspi config and you have to restart

BuZz

@j2001m I cannot advise without detailed information. What keyboard ? What configuration / hardware ?

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please read that then open a new ticket for problems providing detailed information.

Was you able to note the n64 problems?

j2001m

Also video using your image

With the same problems

BuZz

@j2001m Not sure why you have posted that ? If you have a bug open a new topic. I cannot debug an issue based on a video where someone is overclocking. There is also a thread regarding N64 issues here - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16739/n64-crashes-after-10-min/.

im getting the issue-unable to mount root fs on unknow... iv reformatted my sd card and writen the image again and still the same issue... im not great at code otherwise im sure id be able to fix this but what can i do.... all i wanna do is run retro pi on my 3b+

@ekendahl00757
If windows generates a popup just after imaging the SD card, saying "... do you want to format... ?" just say no, remove the SD from your PC and plug it on the Pi.

ekendahl00757

Yup done that and it loads up how ever how do i add roms? Its saying theres only like 56mb on it even though its a 32gb card...

Please take a look at the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/. If you're having a problem with transfering ROMs, please open a new topic for it. As for the size, what you actually see is the 1st (boot) partition from the card; the system - along with the ROMs - is on the 2nd Linux partition, but Windows cannot read it and therefore cannot report its actual size and free space.

@mitu when ever i want to put anything on the other partition it wants to format it... if i do format it, it wont boot up it says kernal error ect...

mitu

@ekendahl00757 That's not the correct method to transfer ROMs, please look at the link from my previous post to understand how ROMs are copied to your system.

@mitu have done thank you for your help its much appreciated
