Ninja UK@ninjaI'm setting up a Pi3 for the first time. I've put the 64gb romless hyperpie image and update 1.01 on there, and have created a USB drive with the /piroms/ directory. I'm mainly looking to load some MAME roms on there and setup the Hyperpie primarily for MAME.
I've downloaded the Arcade.v4 rom pack and have unpacked it. It unpacks to a /home/pi/…. directory structure (or /home/retropie/… can't remember) and there is an folder called “opt” as well. I assume that I drop the opt folder into the same folder on my sd card, and that the “home” folder will go on my USB. It's not clear to me whether I just drop this in the root, so that there now two folders (“piroms” and “home”) in the root, or whether it goes in the piroms folder as a subfolder, or a third option I'm not seeing.
Sorry if the description is confusing. It's hard to give a succinct description with a bunch of folders and subfolders! The short question is this: where do I put these folders from this rompack to get them to work properly in retropie and hyperpie?
Thanks for any help!
anakin1138@anakin1138So I answered my own question, and I thought I'd post this in case anyone stumbles upon it later with a similar problem. Using Filezilla, I dropped all the files into their respective directories (“home” being the root directory), and dropped the roms in the pirom directory on my USB drive, and everything worked fine.
