Great tutorial! I have one question: I tried making one change and then it wouldn’t work anymore. I moved the opentyrian folder to /media/usb0/ports, because I want to keep my SD card as clean as possible. I updated the shell script second line to go to that folder instead of /home/pi/opentyrian, but it didn’t load. Then, in the command line, i tried going to that folder and running “./opentyrian”, and it said “Permission denied”. I tried running it as sudo, and changing all permissions to rwx for everyone and still same error. Any idea why it wasn’t working? Thanks!

As far as putting them into one zip, I imagine it would work just fine, since 1941.zip, for example, loads just fine without the a or b zips present in the folder, but I wonder if the extra content would load from the one zip. But now that I think about it, how would that even work for localization? If I put the Japanese, Brazilian, USA, and world files into one zip for street fighter 2, what content would load? I guess the only thing I would care about is non-localized different zips. This is what happens… I ask a question, then start really thinking about it and talking (typing) out loud, and figure out all the holes and flaws.

I made a folder in my USB drive called “alt-mame4all” and “alt-fba,” separate from my “mame4all” and “fba” directories, so i could access them quick if need be and put them back if the ROMs didn’t work or didn’t load, but they’re not linked to anywhere in the ES_systems.cfg, and EmulationStation doesn’t know it exists, essentially.

Well, like I said, so far every ROM loads fine with just the biggest one filesize-wise present in the directory. I kept all the variants in an easy to get spot in case I needed to put them back, but all the ones I tested started fine (which got me wondering what I would be missing in the first place).
