I been running Damasos 128 image for a little bit now. But i want to add a few more Genesis hacks to the Genesis hacks folder on the img. Is this possible? I normally load games from a USB but there is no other "genesisHacks" folder to put the hacks in?

 

Thanks in  advance!

You can do it many many ways

A fresh USB, first put it in the Pi wait the the Green light to stop blinking a few minutes, then put the USB in the PC and you will see all the Folders/Dirs that the Pi made and drop the roms in the right Folder

WinScp over network, SSH over network, The Pi's address in a Web browser

DiskInternal Linux Reader will allow you to access the sd card or img's

A Linux pc and browse the sd card like any drive (i dual boot old laptop)

Hello, yes i know how to add roms.  i do it the USB way.  I want to put a few custom roms in the "genesis hacks" folder.  i put a blank usb in the pi and it does not give me a "genesishacks" folder.   if i add these hacks will the PI detect them as hacks and automatically put them in the hacks folder??

WinScp is a Free Network Connection Program, easy to use

You only need 3 bits of info

Login to: pi@retropie  (if using p-dark img then its pi@raspberrypi )
User: pi
Pass: raspberry

Then you have 2 windows side by side, browse esch window to the roms on one side (Yours), then to the roms folder in other window (pi) Drag'n'Drop

Creating a folder called Genesis Hacks did not work.  still cant find away to put these hacks in the Genesis Hacks folder.

If i add them to Megadrive they just show up in there.

Hi, Put the Genesis hacks into the mega drive roms folder. Then to add the games to the Genesis hacks folder is like adding games to any other collection.

i think the Folder you want to make under "roms" is "genh" and add the games to that
When i was try to make missing Art there was a genh, also gbh, gbah, gbch, nesh, snesh, ect, that makes me believe you need a h on genesis, but Not genesish, but genh

hope im right this time ?

I got it using the method built into emulation station.  Thanks. Great build.  Only problem i ran into is adventures of lolo on nes will not boot.
