I am building a new RetroOSMC system with RetroPie 3.8 and am trying to locate the ‘Roms’ folder to copy my roms to.It seems that in the filepath below there is no longer a Roms folder:
opt/retropie/
SOLVED-
wierd SSH issue
The rom folder should be in /home/osmc/RetroPie ?
@mcobit. Thanks, that certainly kills emulation station and sets me back into Osmc… But also makes the program launcher disappear…
About to give up on Retrosmc … After spending countless hours of messing around I can have both controllers configured in Emulation Station… But not in RetroArch for the games. 
I’ve tried a number of different guides for configuring controllers in RetroArch (including jbo link for 8bitdo) , and can only seem to have a couple of controls recognized in snes games (b, select, and d pad) on controler 1. Not enough keys to pull up RGUI once a game is selected.
Does all of this work in retropie image?
I am sorry that I cannot help more here, but I cannot buy all the hardware people have trouble with
Also: what do you mean with makes launcher disappear?
In Kodi? That is nearly impossible.
@mcobit you’ve been a great help! I think the root of my evils is in the 8bitdo controllers. I can get them working in the front-end but not yet the game emulator s. For some odd reason it only recognizes a couple of the keys on controller 1 (power, not power+r1 mode).
I’m going to give this 1 more shot with a clean install. If that fails I’m Going to try retropie base. If that fails I’ll go back to dual boot Recalbox 4.2 beta - > not preferred as no forum support… And the updates break Recalbox in a dual boot noobs setup… But works with these finicky controllers…
Can you please tell me in which os(es) it works so I could diff the changes?
When I try to install retrosmc I do not get the option to install the binaries. But i click install anyway, and it takes a while and then I install the launcher, and when I go to launch, the working pop up comes up, then my screen goes black and it like relaunches Kodi.
Any Ideas?
I may record an installation later just to have the full video for evidence. PLease help.
Will do! I’d also be willing to ship you one of the controller s if you have any desire for one.
did you follow the information that I provided in this thread regarding the 8bitdo snes30 controller? if not, go back through the thread and read through it. it should get the controller working both in ES and in retroarch.
Please follow the first post precisely.
Also scroll back in ssh if there are any errors.
How long takes the installation for you? Don’t you see the Retropie-Setup screen?
I THOUGHT I did, that is the first thing I’m trying post clean install
Okay, So Emulation Station won’t launch on my Pi 3. But, on my Pi 2, it will. I got it to install despite the differences in our menus.
I have a question though, the only ‘emulator’ I can choose from is RetroPie, and that is just for the config, correct?
Do I have to Manually install Emulators? Or is this a bug?
Thanks
You need to install the roms into the respective folders in /home/osmc/RetroPie/roms/
The emulators will show up as soon as the roms are detected.
For further assistance please refer to the RetroPie documentation.
Edit: It works for me and apparently a lot of other people on the pi3.
Please show me a emulationstation log and post the contents of /home/osmc/RetroPie/scripts
So we can diagnose the problem.
Hi.
When I start the emulationstation, does not detect the wireless keyboard and I can not go on. if I press f4 goes back to Kodi.
I tried to push more than 5 seconds, for kill service and relaunching the emulation, but nothing. pgrep kodi.bin is null
The keyboard, Kodi, it works perfectly.
any ideas?
I install RetroPie with the latest kodi versión and last .sh (and reinstall RetroPie Again)
Thank you
Try to wait a little longer after entering emulationstation.
If that doesn’t work, try a wired keyboard.
Some other user also described an incompatibility with a wireless keyboard. With a different model, it worked then.
thanks.
I have seen that when I press any key often appears for a few milliseconds “keyboard” on the screen
You have to hold that key down.
First just wanted to say that is or making this possible. Really appreciate it.
So my issue is that I can’t have an Xbox controller (wired) functioning in both osmc and retro. When I get it to work in osmc it won’t work in retropie and vice versa . I also noticed when I enable/install it in retropie, it removes the regular package from osmc… any ideas?
Thanks
hey I too have clone ps3 controllers and pi3 cant get em to pair. You have any luck? Ive tried everything. Maybe I need to try a BT dongle? Anyone else manage to get a clone going on pi3 built in BT?
