      @tinydog1968 We don't support third party builds here. Sounds like something is corrupted, misconfigured, who knows. We have no idea what the 3rd party did. I recommend that you start from scratch. So when things go wrong, we know what retropie was supposed to do, and hopefully you know what you did to cause an error.
      You learn the whole system that way. Retropie is not intended to be a product you buy, but a hobbyist project that lets us make our own videogame console. And maybe learn some linux ;)

          @tinydog1968 yes. The parts alone to make a decent build is about $100 max. At least every build ive made is about that LOL

                @tinydog1968 Thats OK. We all started somewhere. Most of us here spend more time customizing our builds than actually playing games.

                As far as games, you're on your own. We cant tell you where to get them. Just know that are called "roms"

                    @tinydog1968 You're welcome and good luck. Plus who wants 22,000 games? Find the few games youll like to play, and enjoy.

                      @lostless I agree, 22,000 games? You'd never play them all.

                        @tinydog1968 There's a thread with many legal sources for games in this forum, and @SgtJimmyRustles kindly posted a link to a wiki with even more.

                        You could also look for "best games for [system name]" (e.g. "best games for snes") on the web or on YouTube to find games that are the ones worth playing.
