      After a basic install I can't seem to find any shaders or overlays to play with. Both via the retroarch interface or ssh.

      Mey setup so far:
      Pi Model: 3
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: None
      Controller used: cheap AliExpress SNES style
      Error messages received: None

      What I've done so far:
      -fashed to sdcard
      -connected wifi
      -set up Pi to wait for network at boot
      -mirrored RetroPie directory on a network share
      -setup autostart.sh with
      sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh
      sudo mount -t cifs -o guest,uid=pi //hostname/retropie /home/pi/RetroPie
      -move roms to the respective network share

      Now when I open the config editor to try and play with shaders I only get the "0 unset" option when I look at "Video Shader File".

      I looked in the directory /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader and I see many glslp files. When I start the Configuration Editor via retroarch two lines appear for a split second at the top of the screen and the tell me that BIOS directories do not have permissions. So I suspect it some kind of permission thing, or maybe because I am using my roms off the network.

      Has anyone seen this before?

      Many thanks.

          @BuZz Thanks very much! I've been searching via Google for 2 days, and nothing. I guess they haven't updated with the forum content yet. I also searched the forums before I posted but must have missed this. Thanks again.
