Installed raspbian and booted fine. Connected to internet and typed sudo apt-get gparted

Now you said locate it the menu somewhere… But I don’t know where to locate it

[vinsega]

Sorry for all the questions I am just excited to get this done and want to make sure i am doing things right

[vinsega]

What do you mean by flash retropie over it? The only way I know how to put retropie on the SD card is by adding the image with my computer. How do I do it with the sd card already in the raspberry and running?

[vinsega]

So how do I get this zipped files into the folder?

[vinsega]

I’m going to try this after dinner but what you are saying is to ftp into the raspberry from a laptop not take the SD card out of the raspberry and put it into the laptop?

[vinsega]

Okay last question what do you mean by emualtion station folder? Do I access this on the raspberry pie or on my laptop?

[vinsega]

Okay i was reading through the instructions and understand everything up until this

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

What do I do with the zipped file? Where do I store it? If you can give me a detailed instructions of what do starting from here then I think I can do the rest.

[vinsega]

In these message boards? If you see it let me know. I will try to look for it too since simpler is usually better for me!

[vinsega]

Okay I’m off to work so maybe tonight I will get a chance to try

So flash this first. Then on the same card flash retropie? Do I delete the previous file? Sorry just a little confused

[vinsega]

Okay thank you again for all your help. But I said I was new to all this so let me make sure I get this straight.

You said flash raspbian does this mean download raspbian instead of the retropie image and flash it to the SD card? Or can I just use the retropie image like before?

[vinsega]

Unfortunately this didn’t work either. I am starting to get defeated by this. I even did a new sd card image and install I really appreciate your help so of you know anything that I could try please let me know.

I followed steps 1, 2, 3 in step 3 I added

UUID=80D7-12F9 /media/USBdrive vfat defaults 0 2

Saved and exited.

Then I typed sudo mount -a
And it said mount point /media/USBdrive does not exist

[vinsega]

Sorry I abbreviated last night here is the full line

/dev/sda1: LABEL=”retropie” UUID=”80D7-12F9″ TYPE=”vfat”

[vinsega]

Okay here is the sudo blkid

/Dev/mmcblko ptuuid “4b464b5b” pttype = “DOS”

/Dev/mmcblk01 sec_type “MS-DOS” label = boot uuid 5e51-8928 typeb= vfat partuuod 4b46b5b-01

/Dev/mmcblk02 label = retropie uuid 45e7963b-fbbc-423f-9dd0-ebf4455ebfc2 type ext4 partuuid 4b464b5b-02

/Dev/sda1 label retropie uuid 80d7-12f9 type vfat

[vinsega]

What guide are you talking about?

And how exactly do I add a root delay? Someone mentioned that adding a root delay might help but I have no clue how to do that.

[vinsega]

Okay I will post soon. I just noticed on boot up it says failure to start USB mount@dev A SDA services.

If that’s the problem how do I fix it?

[vinsega]

What are bbcodes and how do I use them?
