momaw27ParticipantLOVE it! I’ll be using this when you release it!
momaw27ParticipantHey Doug!
I use this setup for my system. All my ROMS are on a USB thumbdrive with my microSD card holding only my retropie/kodi system files.
I edit the es_systems.cfg file by Puttying in with:
sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
I then make the necessary changes to the systems that need to look on the USB stick for roms.
My <file> syntax looks like this (for SNES anyway):
<file>/media/usb0/retropie/snes</file>
and then CNTL+X, ‘yes’, and then hit enter.
Of course on my USB drive I have, at root, a directory called retropie (which by the way is automatically created when USB service is turned on). And then inside retropie I have the various system folders – snes, nes, gba, etc…
One issue I had was when changing the directories in the es_systems.cfg file, I inadvertently left the default tilde (~) in the file path. The tilde tells retropie to start looking in the home directory on your SD card. Delete it and you’re good to go!
You may also want to double check where retropie thinks your USB drive is mounted. Mine happened to be at location usb0… but depending on what you have hooked up this could be anywhere between usb0-usb7.
Type:
/media/usb0
lsIf your retropie folder shows up then usb0 it is… if not, continue by pressing the UP arrow twice, delete the ‘0’ and type 1, hit enter, type ls. Continue changing the number at the end of usb until you find where your USB drive is mounted… but my guess in that it’s sitting at usb0.
Hope this helps!

momaw27ParticipantDarn. Replacing the .so didn’t fix it.
momaw27ParticipantBrilliant! Thank you!
momaw27ParticipantHey tombradshaw!
I’ve got GBA working in 3.0B3 (albeit not lr-mGBA as there is a bug upstream somewhere, but a git ticket has been issued I believe).
The only thing I can think of is to make sure that your GBA bios filename is in all lowercase letters. Linux is picky like that (which I appreciate :)
It should look like this:
gba_bios.bin
Of particular importance, check that the extension, .bin, is lowercase and not .BIN.
I hope that helps!

momaw27ParticipantHey Omnija!
Ran into the same issue. How would I go about installing the older binary in my 3.0B3 image?
momaw27
momaw27ParticipantI’d like to know how to do this too.
Thanks!
momaw27ParticipantPBP’s work great! Thank you for the head’s up!
momaw27ParticipantI wonder what would happen if you added .zip and .ZIP to that list?
momaw27ParticipantYeah buddy!
That’s the ticket! Working like a champ now!
Thanks man!
momaw27ParticipantI use the default gamepad option which is:
Save: hold SELECT + RIGHT TRIGGER
Load: hold SELECT + LEFT TRIGGERAfter mixing these up for a while in my head I’ve landed on remembering it this way… LOAD and LEFT both begin with an “L”
Hope that helps!
momaw27ParticipantYep, I’m having the same issue with PCE CD games. The HuCard games work fine… but no go with CD games.
Anyone else?
momaw27ParticipantThanks guys!
A quick look at the es_systems.cfg and a reboot solved it!

momaw27ParticipantHey g0nz0uk!
I’m pretty sure that’s an overscan issue. Disable overscan in the settings and you should be good.
