Help reinstalling mame4all
-
Im running a raspberry pi 3 with Windows 10. I have retropie 4.
I was trying to fumble my way around getting mames to work and in the heat of frustration I deleted my mame4all folder.
How do i reinstall it? -
@ozmoesis I am no expert but I didn't think the Windows 10 IoT core even had access to the GPU, so you cannot drive a display properly? I thought it just shared it's name and is not actually Windows at all. What are the benefits of trying to doing this anyway? I really don't understand why you would want this, with closed source software the learning stops at some point, you can't learn stuff about your Windows-Pi even though it was created for learning! Even the example code (read a temp sensor, display using webserver) they give on the home page starts with: "Copyright (c) Microsoft. All rights reserved." Intrnet of things on a Pi was sold to me once as a way to make it easier to connect things that are attached to the Pi (like sensors, motors, lights, etc) interact with a Windows 10 PC but not a way to run programs or apps. BUT, like I said, I am no expert on this and times may have changed, just thought this might save you time. Also, you really need to read this: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first before asking for help, especially with something odd like this.

raspberry pi 3 has wifi and can be discovered on the network. I was moving roms to the rom folder on the SD card from my PC. I went to delete a rom and accidentally deleted the mame4 all entire folder.
Could i just recreate a folder, because I dont think it would have deleted the entire emulator. -
@ozmoesis If you're referring to the mame-mame4all folder that contains roms, then yes you can just re-create it.

Yes, I just don't get why you are using this IoT windows? It makes no sense to me and I would like to learn why you wouldn't just use the image provided. Do you think that without Windows, it can't be discovered on the network?

I worded it poorly. I have retropie 4 on a raspberry pi 3. I also run windows 10 on my PC that I use to transfer roms. Sorry about the confusion.

@rbaker no offence to OP but I'd be willing to bet that most people who are running Windows 10 iot on the pi would probably know the simple steps of recreating a folder if the got to the point of getting retropie functioning on iot ;)
