Re: Newbie - help

Well, thanks to a friend who knows Linux, I was able to copy everything off my original SD card onto a 32GB thumb drive - however it couldn't copy the files in /home/pi/.attract/stats/Arcade (there's several ".stat" files in there). Can anyone tell me what these are, and if they're needed (I'm hopin...

Re: Newbie - help

OK got the new 3.7 card partitioned correctly, and I'm able to see it in Windows (at least the Fat32 BOOT partition)...the card in my Arpicade however is unreadable...it works, the pi boots and I can play games, cycle through the menus/emus, and AOMEI Partition magic sees it as a FAT32 BOOT/ Ext4 ca...

Re: Newbie - help

Thank you! It was a bug. The file downloads correctly now. The plug-in used to control downloads apparently couldn't handle files larger than 512Mb. Try unplugging and plugging the SD card in again. Sometimes these burners un-mount the card when they are done. Cheers! Gotcha...I see it now. Now I'm...

Re: Newbie - help

Thanks - I've been using 7zip for a while, the problem is the download on the arpicade side - it's only 512MB in size. I downloaded the 10-part zip, and that worked (so I have a backup of 3.7 now, sans roms). I used Etcher on a brand new 32GB sd card and it worked, however the instant the image was ...

Re: Newbie - help

Thanks! Next dumb question.... The 3.7 image I downloaded is a "tar.gz" file, inside is a "tar" - when I try to unzip the "tar" it gets 90% done, then gives a "Unexpected end of data : 170211_ARpiCADE-3.7.tar" error. I've tried downloading it with both Chrome & Firefox from the arpicade.com site (is...

Re: Newbie - help

MIne's a custom (at least it has a custom splash screen) from HighScoreSaves.com - WIndows doesn't recognize it, so I don't think it's Fat32. If I pick up a blank 32GB card, do I need to partition it, or will burning the 3.7 image manage partitioning for me (I have Etcher)? Thanks!

Re: Newbie - help

Not only does Ext2Fsd not respond after launching...there's no discernable way to end the task aside from rebooting and uninstalling. There's got to be a better way to update this.

Newbie - help upgrading to 3.71

Help! New to this. I have an Arpicade with a 3.7 SD card. Works great, but I wanted to try to update it to 3.7.1. I installed Ext2Fsd, but now when I insert my 3.7 SD card Ext2Fsd locks up (Not Responding) and when I click on the drive in Windows Explorer (which does show a drive as "SDHC card") it ...
