Apr 13, 2017 - On this tutorial I show you how to run Mac OS 9 on your Raspberry PI, I have also included a compiled version of pearpc. Redundant robot rom. “can't boot because it's not the original computer/media” – edit the pref manually. My problem was that after unzipping the iso archive I renamed the folder to.

Also, when typing emulationstation, i get this message; pi@raspberrypi: $ emulationstation X is running. Please shut down X in order to mitigate problems with losing keyboard input.
For example, logout from LXDE. I wont lie, I have no idea what this means Okay first off I am not allowed to talk about where you can find roms.
Usually a google search will work though. About your problem. When it says X is running that means that you are running a desktop session. Emulationstation can't run when you have a desktop session going. LXDE stands for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. To stop the desktop session go to the menu button with the Raspberry Pi logo (it should be in the top left corner) click on that and go to the bottom of the drop down menu. It should say Shutdown.
Click on it and you will get a selection menu. Select the logout option and click okay. You will then see a command line prompt (it will kinda look like a big terminal window is covering the entire screen). You then can type emulationstation and it will work. If you want to get back to the desktop exit emulationstation and then type. Ryno4 wrote:Thank you again. I was wondering if I was to do anything, whether I could get it straight on the Pi or whether I'd need to use a PC to load them onto a USB stick.
All guides point to this. Are you referring to transfering Roms? If so there are lots of ways to do it. You can do it through SSH (accessing the command line from another computer), FTP (access the file system from another computer), or using a USB thumb drive.
I personally just find the rom I want in a web browser on my Pi and then just download it directly to my Pi through the browser. Ryno4 wrote:Hi there again! Two more questions from my noob self. When I press log out from the shutdown options, it doesn't take me to a command screen, it takes me to the log in details. There is no option to put commands, just a username and password.
Secondly, I have a acquired a file from the Internet. I have no idea how to unzip it.
I have placed it into the psx folder. Any tips on what to do from here? Thanks again On your first question. The username is pi and the password is raspberry. Unless you have changed it. But I doubt that you have. On the second question.
A lot of emularors don't need to have it unziped. It just depends on the extinsion. Check out the retro pie wiki for more info on what extinsions different emulators can use Don't worry about asking questions. I'm happy to help.
Ive uploaded a couple of vids to explain my issues with it. When I log out, i do not get a command screen to type 'emulationstation'. I only get the log in screen. Ive downloaded this file, but I cant figure out what to do with it These are the only things i am able to do Again, i'm trying hard to learn but i cant quite figure it out haha Cheers EDIT: I got to the log in screen and pressed CTRL ALT + F1 and got the command screen up. I typed emulationstation in here and I was met with the same reply about logging out of the desktop interface first. Ryno4 wrote:Ive downloaded this file, but I cant figure out what to do with it These are the only things i am able to do.7z files won't work with any of the emulators (that I know of) and they can't be extracted in the preinstalled archiving program.
I would suggest finding a different site to download the roms from. There are other ones besides the one you used.zip files work great. If you look at that link I posted you can see what extensions will work with emulator you're using. Then find the game you want online and if the file extension works with that emulator (you might need to extract the files using the Archiving tool) you just stick it in the right folder like the following.

I only get the log in screen. I've used raspberry pis fro over a year and have never seen that before. You're running Rasbian Jessie (NOOBS is pretty much the same thing) right? You mean the LightDM display manager? I'm not sure if it comes with Raspbian as default but both of my current Raspbian images have it. If not there by default it must been installed as a requirement for something else I have installed.
I don't know what is the recommend way to close the graphical interface. Using a virtual console (e.g.
Ctrl+alt+F2) would leave the desktop environment in the background consuming precious RAM. Ryno4 wrote:Hi again. Ive uploaded a couple of vids to explain my issues with it.

Hmm never heard of it before. I don't think it is preinstalled though cause it isn't on my pi! Maybe if he pkilled that then it would work.
I appreciate the help guys Using 'pkill lightdm' gave me this message pkillpi@raspberrypi: $ pkill lightdm pkill: killing pid 536 failed: Operation not permitted pkill: killing pid 1189 failed: Operation not permitted pi@raspberrypi: $ Using 'pkill lxsession' just took me back to that log in screen again. I'm always so close yet so far!
I used a preloaded SD card with noobs, and i'm using Raspian. The word jessie springs to mind, I remember seeing it during the initial boot up I'm sorry for the late replies, as you can probably hear from the videos I have a toddler keeping me busy.

Thanks Try adding sudo to the beginning. Ryno4 wrote:I switched over to LXDE to see if that helped at all, and it hasn't I added sudo to both commands pkill lightdm and pkill lxsession.
It didn't really help. I tried to type emulationstation and I got the same message about the desktop running once again.
The vid shows exactly what happens when I add sudo to the 2 commands. I'm stuck here. I'm wondering If I just need to start again from scratch and boot my Pi in a different way, without NOOBS. I'm lost I don't think you need to start from scratch.
Did you try pkill lightdm and then lxsession. In the video you pkilled the lxsession first which got you that login screen. You then logged in and that basically started the lxsession again. If you don't really care about having lightdm you could just remove it. Ryno4 wrote:EDIT. Ok so I've got this far I got rid of lightdm.
Also, how do im get the files needed for the dreamcast emulation? I downloaded them, (there were two choices, PC or android, I chose PC). I put them in the dreamcast folder but it still has he same message. And it says I have 13 games in Retropie but I can't find them. Ah you need to do something with the BIOS files.
I am afraid I don't know much about this being as every emulator that I've used doesn't need any BIOS files. You could probably find out how to do it on the RetroPie wiki.
Could some please help him out here cause I'm don't really know about his myself. What do you mean by it said I have 13 games I retro pie but I can't find them. What said that? And did you stick the Roms in the correct emulator folders?

Version 4.4. Congratulations! You have discovered the wonderful world of RetroPie- your entire childhood is within reach!
RetroPie is a combination of multiple projects including, and many others. This page is for people just getting started on RetroPie. The easiest way to install RetroPie is the SD image which is a ready to go system built upon top of the Raspbian OS - this is the method described in the following guide. Alternatively, advanced users can install RetroPie. This guide will give you the very basics to get you up and running from a blank SD card to first boot into EmulationStation.
