With the green light from WDG i made a Second build from SB V2 (help from level1online) with console and arcade no handhelds,  99.5% boxart (box and game play) even for #Hacks, limited snaps, need space for roms, Was to be a week-end project, its winter in Melbourne nothing too do
It was made for all those Spare 32g Card's that we should have that's not being used
First try:Â PiShrink done nothing when there is only 675meg spare (now made on smaller block sized card)
Controller – Xbox 360: Wired or Wireless, Rockcandy or the USB snse clone gamepad is all Pre-Configured for ES and AM,  A Button = Select,  B Button = Back/Exit
This build is only possible because of ETA-Prime, DrewTalks & Level1Online, those youtube tut's are a killer, and easy to follow along
Now this should fit all 32g's  (& 2 prob's fix missed in last build) RetroPie Setup can now be Updated, Saving Configs in RetroArch now should work, Added MrHArias's new theme: SuperDisplay-Clean

5x 4gb 1x 2.4gb (22.4g rared total) 28.9gb extract which is smaller than the Sandisk and Samsung @ 29.2gb, Made on Kingston @ 28.9g
I have only been in the scene for 4 months so go easy on me, actually 2 weeks before Pi Day 2018, i just got a 3B and the 3B+ came out, so i got one of them too and there was nothing for the 3B+ so i had to learn,  "i am not a builder by any means, just a backyard hack !"  LoL
Retrope = Linux = Unix, and if you used a pc 1978-1985 it was Unix or Commodore's Basic and the commands i learnt as a kid work
Sudo su – makes you Super User / root / admin, no neeed to chmod 777 or anything else
When in Terminal type: exit, and not emulationstation nor attract unless you want to change
and things like dir, mdir, list, kill, run, quit, exit, cat, all work too easy
It might not be 100% perfect, so if someone better than me want's to fix anything and re-releases, i and the members would appreciate it
If anyone would like to up it to Torrents or Usenet, (haven't upped to usenet for 10yrs maybe 8yrs) that would be great
The idea was to give 32g's and introduce friends, family, anyone and everyone, as i bet you have heaps of spare 32's, and its not to over whelming for noobs, like me
Please read the Read Me as good info is inside

Offline Happy to change / fix any mistakes and or errors (if i can) and re-upped if wanted
Also if any info i give is wrong, this is just my finding's or the way my silly brain works, please correct me
Hopefully it will get reviewed as i do not make video for YouTube and anyone, "too damn ugly" they say
MrHArias has just upped his "SuperDisplay Clean" theme, which would like nice with this in Detail mode
available now for download via: github, I am guessing you'll have to wait a few days or more before it show in RetroPie under Themes to download

Offline I had one more idea, people could request a rom/game that is missing or they want added,
It would not be hard, The rom folder would contain: in the right paths, the system, rom, artwork and a new gamelist.xml
just drop the ROM folder on the rom folder via WinScp and Merge and Overwrite,
It would be a small download

Offline OLD Now image is smaller – remade on smaller card
While trying to think of ways to make smaller :
This might just work, and so quick and easy, my dual boot laptop Win7 & Linux Cinnamon
Boot into Linux, put in sd card, drag boot and retropie folders to the desktop, put in new card and drag both folders back, might need to partition card, As under Linux there is free space
2nd Option write the 16g SB v2, to it, get the partiton table right, delete retropie folder and i will put in mine.
Main thing is i am working on it ?
Might have a work-around, if Win32DiskImager compalians about size, click Continue, then it should say, Extra Size is Free Space, Do you want to Continue, so i said yes and lets see what happens,
No go – unable to mount root fs

Offline I switched out power supplies and the lightning bolt symbol went away. I hope to check it again sometime this week and explore other features that require keyboard and mouse.

Offline C64 uses a virtual keyboard, just need to wait long enough for the warez intro screen, then spacebar to continue, Intellivision use your Left 1 to bring up Virtual Number Pad, maybe i and other builder's should make a How To and not a Read Me
its was a ongoing week-end project and cause things are not 100% yet, i am still going, cheers level1online
