New ROM's, No way to get to them
New ROM's, No way to get to them
I've successfully transfer ROMs to my mintypi using FileZilla, Yay! (Connected to it multiple times, files that i had previously transferred were there were i had put them) However, I am not able to access the games the way i should. i know the l and r buttons work, i have tested them in menus. When i press them nothing happens, thoughts?

Re: New ROM's, No way to get to them
Why are you posting a new thread when you have one asking the same thing? I have no idea why your connection didn't work before or if it is now but it likely is still having issues. Are you putting the rom in the correct places? can you ssh into the pi and look in the rom directories with the terminal to be sure they are there?

Yes, each game is in the right files, i checked each one. I have all the roms transfered but they aren't showing up on the mintypi, I reflashed the sd card and the connection worked as it should; so i know it's not the connection. I did post this on the other thread, but no one saw it and there were no topics allready pertaining to it so i posted a new thread. Sorry if that is inconventiont for you ive been have tiny problems for almost a year now and am almost to the point of it working.

Re: New ROM's, No way to get to them
It obviously is not the mintyPi itself since it's just hardware connected to the Pi and the Pi is doing all the work of putting things where they are or loading a rom or the network connections. It could be a bad flash or a bad SD card or even the pi is faulty.
One thing I would try before you go to extremes (besides a different brand SD card) is try using the many Scrappers out there (ETAPrime has a good tutorial for one) and see if that doesn't fix the issue since it rebuilds the list of roms with images and without.
Aslo some searching brings up other suggestions to try like this one:

This forum is not the only place for answers and anything Pi related can be useful, remember the mintyPi is basically a dock station with sound and image and controls. The Pi is the one that does all the heavy work so do search for your issues on Pi related forums as they might have some good info as well.
