    Hey
    sudo chmod +x Kodi.sh

    (With a capital K) looks like it worked. All running again now, so many, many thanks.

    (When it first ran it went into serious low def, but on reboot now its fine again)

    OK, getting a bit further here now, but its still not working

    I type

    cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports

    hit return

    and I’m presented with
    pi@retropie ~/RetroPie/roms/ports $

    I then type
    sudo chown pi:pi Kodi.sh

    With a capital K on Kodi, hit return

    And all that comes up is
    pi@retropie ~/RetroPie/roms/ports $
    (Same as above before)

    What do I do now?
    Having done that I tried rebooting, and running Kodi in Ports still says Permission denied

    You could use your w/e file explorer and right click on it, click properties to check the permissions manually add (pi) to group and make sure X is checked.

    Side Note : linux is strict(case sensetive) and that look like a capital K, try Kodi.sh

    Sorry but I’m going to need a laymans terms / step by step of this please

    then hit return
    then type the below line in its entirety

    sudo chown pi:pi /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/kodi.sh

    Hi
    I must be doing something wrong herre as I’m getting the following message:

    chown: cannot access ‘sudo chown pi:pi home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/kodi.sh’: No such file or directory

    So I’m hitting F4 to get out of RetroPie/Emulation Station

    Then Im presented with Uptime/Memory/Running Processes/IP Address/Temperature in red

    then

    pi@retropie ~$

    in green

    So I’m typing it in after this.

    Is this NOT where I should be typing it in?
    Can anyone advise in laymans terms what I need to do please?

    Hi.
    I have the .zip files yes (I did unzip them, but I thought that was what I had to do).

    https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

    Seems incredibly complicated.

    Is there not just a copy/paste onto USB stick way of doing this like with SNES, Megadrive, Atari 2600?

    Sorry I’m really new to all this and I’m still learning.

    Thanks
