The Verge: The Tinker Board is a more powerful Raspberry Pi rival from Asus. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIwyI2fjDQ

@Acris http://pastebin.com/Z5i1a6Pn Here is my gamelists.xml for Atari 7800   <image>/recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/atari7800/Ace of Aces (USA)-image.jpg</image>

I tried like you said, renamed the folder from the original backup scrape from 3.3.0 from atari7800 to images and downloaded_images rebooted each time still wont see the images.

@Acris, that worked like a charm, and all my games look normal except for my last step.  How do I get the image files to load?  Where do I place them, what must be the folder name etc?

Team, I have followed the instructions for backing up the 3.3 scrapes from my RPI2.  I bought the RPI3 and loaded up 4.0.  Moved all my ROMS as well as updated all my BIOS files. Having issues understanding how to move the gamelists.xml and related thumbnails to the new 4.0 SAMBA share.  If I copy over the gamelist.xml in Atari 2600 for example, and reboot, the original gamelist.xml replaces what I copied over.  And I am still unsure where to move my thumbnail .jpgs to.  Any help for someone who has done this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

A USB stick is your best bet Nick.

Eric, I am rather Linux challenged and have not had any luck using Gparted or Windows partition tools.  I went from 32GB => 64GB => 128GB using the method below:   (When I have time I will try and document a walk through.)   So here is what I did since I used all types of utilities to try and expand. I used http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ from my Windows machine, then copied all the game partition ROMs and BIOS etc. Then put a fresh install on a 128GB Sandisk microSD. Moved all my files back to the newly created SSD.

Did you use the format utility to prep the SD card?

Thanks Retroboy, I see all the activity in the newsgroups.  Much appreciated for all you and others are working on.

Hi all, I have scraped at least 1300 or so ROMs and the settings have been saved.  I was scraping my NES directory with 850 ROM.s that has never been scraped or 'labeled' before.  I get through the entire directory, and all my items are showing properly.  Once I reboot the RPi that one directory for NES reverts back to never being scraped.  None of the other game shares have shown this issue.  They all keep their respective labels.  Anyone seen this, any thoughts?

Thanks Retro (tips hat)

I have seen on posts before that you can re-partition the "Share" partition to the new open space.  I have the GPARTED on a LiveCD and it see the SD card slot of my laptop.  How does or what is the correct way, any instructions?  i am lost, I keep destroying the partitions.

Thanks Rico I will try your suggestion!

(B*MP)  Made my donation how about you?  I am encouraging others to donate.  Thanks Retro, good luck in your new job!

Acris, Thanks for the advice, the addition of the --server command doesn't allow the command to complete. The keyboard never attaches. The pairing light normally will go steady once paired, the --server command never allows that pairing to complete. Kryptto

Nickdj, I agree though many of the games now started working my RPI2 is very choppy and audio is broken up. This wasn't a perfect fix. I am awaiting the 3.3.0 release. Kryptto

retrojunkie, Thanks I should of tried that. Changing it to '2' worked. Thanks!

Unfortunately my fix works to autostart the keyboard on boot, as soon as my keyboard goes to 'sleep' and I hit any button, no response from the RPI. Anyone have ideas of additional code to add to make my settings more persistent? Kryptto

Ewout, I tried your fix, with not the same results. I found the line you referenced, except my setting was not 2 but 3. I changed it to 4 anyway with no positive results. Sorry I could replicate your success. Kryptto

I had the same issue happen. It was right after I scanned new roms, then performed a reboot. White screen on reboot. I went in and set HDMI to safe mode. Rebooted and changed from Zoid to default. Then edited the safe mode back to normal. Working fine under the default theme. Definitely an issue within Zoid theme. Edit: had 42% of disk space used. Space not my issue. ~Kryptto
