I have emailed the maker of SKG jukebox and hopefully he replies back …

Yes, perfect, this would be an awesome visually stimulating addon for music lovers.

Thanks bob for providing link to source code

Thanks team for checking on this issue. My leisure time has been in crunch!!. I did run the emulator and when it does not run the rom, I checked the /tmp/runcommand.log and honestly when I do “sudo edit” nothing is there.. I was surprised. I have changed 3 romsets because having corrupted romset was one of my thoughts. I don’t think I have the expertesie to rebuild romset. I will definitely check the romsize for neogeo.zip. Also it was a clean install and then I did the USB drive mapping. I do agree with dankcoushious regarding “doing too many thinks at the same time” but this time it was just a simple install.

What I noted that few FBA roms work and 90% don’t… I cant figure that out either.

temp/runcommand.log is empty? Where do I dedit Fba and NegoGeo configs and see errors? This is getting frustrating. I have reinstalled OS several times now and this problem persists. I have not even started playing with bluetooth drives for ps3 controllers and configuring mame to use joysticks…

[nastywindbreaker]

still no go!!!! with NeoGeo :-( (still can’t get metal slug going), Could it be bios error?
should they be in root folder or individual folders? is there a seperate config for NeoGeo?

[nastywindbreaker]

Instead of fixing what’s broken, I am doing whole install again. I already have roms in USB that is in Ext4 format. I will disable USB rom service and run through smartroad’s method. I will also replace es_systems.cfg with changes such that roms are pointed to USB drive.

I don’t think roms are bad and I have been using the bios that should work (never can verify that) but I have unzipped them while keeping the zips intact in the same folder.

I will update if it works this time.

[nastywindbreaker]

for NeoGeo, I see the roms but cannot get past the brief blank screen and then back to emulationstation menu

[nastywindbreaker]

es_systems.cfg edit has been done already. This is using both methods (es_systems.cfg and smartroad’s remounting the usb drive).

[nastywindbreaker]

Hello again,

I followed the recommendations from dankcousions and followed through smartroad’s instructions. I did disable usb rom service prior to initiation.

Here is what I got when I typed

UUID=02d07da5-a049-462b-8a0c-99b265134a22 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms auto defaults 0 2

I got this error?

-bash: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/: Is a directory

but i still continued and I am seeing this

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 7.2G 2.5G 4.4G 37% /
devtmpfs 364M 0 364M 0% /dev
tmpfs 368M 0 368M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 368M 5.2M 363M 2% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 368M 0 368M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mmcblk0p1 57M 20M 38M 35% /boot
/dev/sda1 56G 19G 35G 35% /media/usb0

So the only difference I note from smartroad’s final output is /dev/sda1 output.’

Well final output is definitely better, I do have most of the emulators working but my favorite NeoGeo and Final burn emulators are still no go… Is there a different way to config these emulators?

Also, doing this above mentioned method, I have lost the “other ports” link on emulationstation!! how can I re-enable that?

[nastywindbreaker]

I am sure there are several members in community who are using USB drive for storing the roms and use a small microsd/sd cards for running the distro.

There is no clear tutorial to follow for doing this installation for Retropie 3.3 version. I would really find such tutorial helpful and I do not mind starting over instead of fixing errors.

[nastywindbreaker]

all I’ve done is point the es_systems.cfg to the USB drive, seems to work well enough for me, and it’s less hassle than creating symlinks. imho

also I did manually create all my gamelists so I have all artwork in the rom folder

I have made all the changes in es_systems.cfg file. The roms folder in /home/RetroPie/ location has been deleted also. I have also used the syslink of

ln -s /media/usb0/retropie/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

I am showing no progress, I have seen replies regarding uuids but they seem too complicated for my understanding. Part that confuses me is … Why do mame, pcx, nes, n54, dreamcast emulators work but neogeo, gamegear, FB7 are showing game lists but do not run games?

[nastywindbreaker]

Ok, lets see if my assumptions are correct..
If i use this syntex

ln -s /media/usb0/retropie/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

this shoud point my roms stored in usb over to the default RetroPie roms location.. Right?

Still no luck !!!

[nastywindbreaker]

Guys pardon my ignorance, where do I place this symlink command line? Do I need to edit a config file? I am sorry I’m new to this Linux thing.. Thanks for all the replies.

[nastywindbreaker]

Thanks for replying, i have changed rom locations on es_systems.cfg. Can you please guide me with “create a symlink in place of or inside the default rom folder that points to the media/usb0”

So far process works for dream cast, psx and mame4all, other emulators show me the game list but return back to emulation station after a blank screen as I try to play them.
