InsecureSpikeParticipant[quote=118521]Best bet is probably the wiki page on it: https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Nintendo-64

ok, thanks mate
InsecureSpikeParticipantthis may mean i’ll have to look into setting up the N64 tomorro to test, are there any vital topics/threads i’ll need to read up on?
InsecureSpikeParticipantawesome! thanks buzz
InsecureSpikeParticipantshould have mine tomorro
InsecureSpikeParticipantFileZilla works all good here
InsecureSpikeParticipantthanks for the reply,
i actually already have 2 USB drives in my RetroPie a 64gb & a 128gb, but thats not enough at the moment
i could get another 128gb but my mind keeps going back to SSDs
InsecureSpikeParticipanthave you tested with unplugging all the other usb things? may be low power?
InsecureSpikeParticipantmine works fine still, can you not think of anything you may have edited?
what else do you have plugged in?InsecureSpikeParticipantthink i need to delete my wireless xbox configsyup, had to remove all the wireless configs
InsecureSpikeParticipanti like this!
InsecureSpikeParticipanttop left corner in the task bar, can’t remember exactly what it’s called but there’s a drop down menu, it’s in there under another menu, I’m at work so can’t really check but I know it’s in there.
and the password is raspberry
InsecureSpikeParticipantonce you’ve formatted the USBdrive drive, shut down raspbian safely.
take the SD card out and put into your pc, and flash retropie on to it.don’t worry I started out from knowing nothing about Linux too
InsecureSpikeParticipantftp that in there, make sure it’s unzipped tho
InsecureSpikeParticipantonly ftp into it when you have set up retropie
InsecureSpikeParticipantlaptop via some all like FileZilla,
probably the best app to do soInsecureSpikeParticipantok, unzip it and it needs to be placed in the emulationstation folder, as that file will point to your new roms folders that are going to be on your USBdrive. putting it here will prevent it from being over written when you do updates.
the other line will make the folder writeable so you can add your folders of roms you “find” Google for an app called FileZilla, this will transfer files from your computer to the USBdrive in your pi
InsecureSpikeParticipantif you, don’t feel confident doing it this way, think there is a post, with a simpler way, if I remember right, I’d have a little search, before starting this again
InsecureSpikeParticipantI’m off to bed, I’ll be up in around 6hrs
InsecureSpikeParticipantyeah
flash raspbian, do gparted thing and format the drive to ext4
flash retropie over the top of raspbian, this will remove raspbian, and set up retropie, then follow my guide again just remember to add your new UUID to the line you add to fstab,
replace the 0000-0000, your UUID will be long like mine in that screen shotInsecureSpikeParticipantyeah download & flash raspbian, and do the gparted thing you want only 1 partition! once that is done you can flash retropie back, and start from the beginning.
but I do recommend getting at least 1 spare SD card
InsecureSpikeParticipantok, good news!!
i had a play around, and i can tell you the guide work!
but your drive must be formatted to ext4.
this can be done by flashing an sd card with Raspbian wheezy or jessie.when its booted, open the terminal and you’ll want to download and install parted
sudo apt-get install gpartedonce all is done, it’ll be somewhere in the menu, open and log into it password is raspberry
and then format the usb drive that will need to be selected from the dropdown menu on the right of the app window,
then follow the guide, use
sudo blkidto find your UUID & the drive number “sd??” (probably sda1)
then when you get to
sudo nano /etc/fstabreplace your new UUID
it seams a lot of things to do, but by using the UUID, you can safely add other USB drives, without them getting swapped around
after that you can use this es_settings.cfg I’ve zipped below
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation
next you’ll need to get write privileges
sudo chown -R pi:pi /media/USBdrive
and then create a folder called roms and in here add your rom folders
InsecureSpikeParticipantmmmm here is the guide I followed, to get it working on my 3 retropie setups.
I just re wrote it as you need to add a label and that guide doesn’t have that in itInsecureSpikeParticipantsorry, spelling mistake
try this command
sudo mkdir /media/USBdrivethen
sudo mount -amy apologies
(I’ve corrected that post now)
InsecureSpikeParticipantyou shouldn’t have to re edit everything after updates, as most things don’t get over written with most updates,
what files are your finding you need to re edit?InsecureSpikeParticipant1)
sudo e2label /dev/sda1 USBdrive2)
sudo mkdir /media/USBdrive3)
sudo nano /etc/fstab(to make Linux automate this process for you)UUID=0000-0000 /media/USBdrive ext4 defaults 0 2
(so it looks like the image I’ve attached, taking into account i have 2)
ctrl + X to save
4)
sudo mount -a(This will mount all file systems as listed in the /etc/fstab configuration file)InsecureSpikeParticipantyour USB drive, give the error about the superblock a google
InsecureSpikeParticipantalso just run commands from the root directory, no need to be in a curtain folder
InsecureSpikeParticipantok, looks like you’ll need to repair your damaged “superblock” now I’m not sure how to do this, so you’ll need to google
Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1
InsecureSpikeParticipantpls check spelling of label

sudo mount -a(This will mount all file systems listed in the /etc/fstab configuration file)InsecureSpikeParticipantsorry, double post
InsecureSpikeParticipantis that the full UUID number?
InsecureSpikeParticipantcan you post the full line of this one please
/Dev/sda1 label retropie uuid 80d7-12f9 type vfat
InsecureSpikeParticipantawesome, I’m at work at the moment but I’ll be home in just over 4 hours, and I’ll get a guide done, with your requirements
