      @sliver-x also noticed that samba shares arent persistent after reboot but I didn't see a toggle for it. Dunno if that's intentional for power saving. It's not a big deal since I just reinstall it and it takes 2 seconds and it works. Not something I need often anyways but just curious.

        @sliver-x ok after testing with a bone stock raspbian image to see if it's hardware or software. I tried stock raspbian on both my pi zero 2 and zero 1 and a lot of back and forth and I found it was the cable I had cut it back to make better contact but it seems not enough even though it seemed to fully fit in. So that's solved. The samba thing is still a mystery. Thanks for the help 🤘🏻

          Samba and all associated services are disabled by default. I wrote a script to toggle this; are you using it or doing this through raspi-config?

                Why are you replacing the entire file rather than selectively adding what you're trying to set up?

                I'm willing to support the setup I built, but you're straying outside of that at this point. Standard Retropie documentation should be sufficient to figure out what you're attempting to accomplish.

                  If someone can share one copy of the es_cfg in the proc/retropie its the only way i can correct my problem for replacing the advanced settings. This is a good system but there are litle things ...... and i'm begining to use and learning.

                    @Sliver-X Thanks for the fantastic work! I've just upgraded my GPi Case to Zero 2, using your RetroPie image, on a new microSD card. I manually copied over all my ROMs and saved .states, from old card to the new, using my RPi4.

                    I'm having one issue; the ROMs load and play just fine,
                    but cannot recognize/load the saved .state files.

                    I can Save, and Load new .state files. Can't figure out what is wrong with the copied ones. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

                    EDIT: Upon further testing, it seems it's only Nintendo NES that cannot load saved .state files.
                    gb and megadrive do it fine... hmmm...

                        Alright, seems to be a known issue, stemming from emulator core updates, rather than something specific to this build.

                        The best you can hope for is to load the save state from the previous core version and work your way to an area that allows for a normal memory save. Afterwards, update the core load the save and make a new save state. I realize this wouldn't be possible for all games and it's a major hassle, but it's really the only option. It's best to only utilize save states for very casual use and at no time when it's crucial to keep them for long periods of time. Save state formats can change at any time depending on development. You might see an emulator/core keep its format throughout its lifespan, or you might see it change several times a year.

                          It may be be worth trying to transplant the core .so file from the build the save states were created with to my image and see if that works: With a core as mature as fceumm I doubt any functionality/compatibility with various MMCs/etc would be missing between them.

                          If that works, just avoid updating the fceumm core in the future if possible.

                            @Sliver-X any chance of adding Dreamcast to the list of available emulators? I know the pi0 can’t handle much but, I do know the game I want to play is playable on it (Wind and Water Power Battles).

                              @celly I mean you can download Reicast and lr-flycast from RetroPie Setup. But obviously don't expect much

                                @retropieuser555 flycast is not enabled on Pi 0 in RetroPie-Setup, it can't be installed.

                                @celly you'll have to manually modify the lr-flycast scriptmodule to have the module available to be installed and you'll need to install from source. Note that in order to be able to update RetroPie-Setup, the changes will need to be reverted (but that will not remove the installed lr-flycast).

                                  @mitu ok thanks. Sounds like a lot more involved and I really don’t want to break anything for just one game really.

                                    Hello i using retropie and i flashed to a new 64 gb sdcard but after i installed some neew emulators and transfering the roms the system stop to boot - corrupted sd card.

                                    The question i have is i will flash retropie to a new 64gb card , can i expand the share partition on gparted and copy some roms before i boot the card on the rasperry pi ?

                                    Can i have problems with this ?

                                      You can do that, but you'll need a Linux system to do it. On 1st boot RetroPie will automatically expand the Linux partition anyway.

                                          Since the Linux partition on the image is faily small, without resizing it first you'll not be able to copy much. Do you have any problems using one of the documented transfer methods ?
