OK, so I reinstalled RretroPie on a 8GB card, and extended the space to take all the 8GB on the card.

Then I followed the article on lifehacker to configure everything properly, then put some SNES roms, and… it worked!

I tried with 5-6 SNES ROMS, and they all work properly.

I still have the problem with MAME games. Maybe it’s related to BIOS?

I saw that RetroPie is using several emulators, including RetroArch that emulates a lot of different platforms. How do you know which emulator is used for MAME or NeoGeo? Can you specify which emulator to run somewhere? Which one is the recommended option?

Thanks :)

Thanks to you guys for your answers!

petrockblog: When I run a SNES game from the command line, I simply have an error from RetroArch saying “Failed to load ROM”. Nothing else… not very helpful to debug what’s going on :)

zinger19: I ran these commands, but after a while, the update ran out of free space.

I just got a 8 GB SD card, I will try with this later on and let you know how it went.

P.S.: Is a BIOS only needed for Neogeo games? What about arcade games (Mame) or SNES games?

Hi petrockblog,

All the ROMs are in the correct format:

*.zip for the Mame and the NeoGeo ones
*.smc for the Super Nes ones

They actually appear in the game lists, it’s just that launching them just comes back to the game list :(

How do I exit EmulationStation and manually launch some of them to check the error messages in the Shell?
(Sorry, I’m a complete noob with a RPi! But I’ve been using Linux for 10 years so I’ve no problem manipulating Shells, config files and vi :))

Thanks!
