Reply To: Roms not Starting

[Anonymous]

First Try:
I used the source-based installation at first and I received a message saying something like… EmulationStation has started but there are no systems. or something like that. So I ran retropie_setup.sh and went through the binaries-based installation. Once I rebooted, emulationstation booted right up. At this point I FTP’d in some roms and tried to start them. This is where I first saw the lines of equal signs. I figured I did something wrong so I started from base one and put the image of Raspbian “wheezy”.

Second Try:
After going through the writing the image of Raspbian and following the RetroPie setup instructions I got to the point on whether to do a binaries-based or source-based. I just did the binaries-based. Once the binaries-based installation was complete I imported some roms and tried again. I still received the lines of equal signs. At this point I posted the thread.

Third Try:
Since you said the gamepad might be causing some errors I tried unplugging and rebooting to run another binaries-based install. Still didn’t work.

Fourth Try:
I completely removed the gamepad from the equation so the only things that are connected to the Raspberry Pi are…

Dell USB Keyboard
HDMI
Micro USB Power
Ethernet cable

As soon as I disconnected everything except the listed I inserted my fresh copy of Raspbian “wheezy” and went through the installation process and only doing the binaries-based installation. After that was all said and done it still doesn’t run. After that I tried the source-based installation and it still doesn’t open.

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
