Thank you so much !! I didn't have any sound, no favourites saving, no saves etc ... It was driving me nuts !! just expanded as you advised ! Everything works !! Top Notch !
Yep i just ran into this with the latest Swineapple 64GB Remix using a 128GB card. Games wouldn't play and controller settings also wouldn't save. I did an expand and that fixed it. Thanks for the vid!
Love it. Thanks for all the Pi help good sir. Love the content over the last x years I've been subbed! Hope all are physically and mentally well with everyone and their families! Xoxo
Brooo. U just saved my life!!! Last nigth I had that problem with the snes not working the gamepad and I reinstalled the entire retropie image in the sd Card.. Now I have the 50% of free space 🤘😎🤘
Thank you for this! I ran into this issue after cloning from my RetroPie 128gb to 512gb. After cloning, it still said my diskspace was full. Did what you suggested in the video and problem solved! :)
My friend I have spent the last 2 hours trying to add a script and map my 8bitdo pro controller. Searching the internet and nothing. Then I came across your vid which was related to my troubles. And bang everything is working. I cant even play any games now because I've got a headache from spending time trying to sort it out. Thank you for this vid👍👍
Every new image I keep forgetting about this. Some images would run a script to expand without any intervention, I found most newer ones you need to expand filesystem. One image I needed to do it 2 or 3 times and it would work then. Kinda wierd, I will take it! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Bro, newbie here. Thank you for your guide. Your the only one that mentions " file expand " function. I support you. I pledged on Patreon. These are my favorites: Etaprime, Drew talks, & Madlittlepixel. Love me this Retro gaming magic. Peace!
I've been having this exact problem with one of the pre-configured SD cards I bought several years ago. Tried this solution - expanding the file system in the advanced Raspberry Pi setup and rebooted. Still having the same problem - control configuration still not saving after several more reboots in a row. I've bought many preloaded RetroPie SD cards around the same time a few years ago, but this specific SD card is 256 Gigabytes with 10,869 games preinstalled, and many themes I have not seen in other collections - such as Dragonslairsweet theme, Doomsweet theme, Doubledragonsweet theme, Finalfantasysweet theme, and more versions of '(GameName)Sweet' theme if that helps narrow down this specific collection. Might be a 'Virtualman's' collection - I see that name in some of the photos and videos included in the collection. It also has a lot of RetroWave music if that helps.
Thanks. Gave it a try and no dice. I used to be able to override game buttons fine and it saved. Now it will not anymore after I exit the game, it reverts. Will save other config changes though. Its driving me nucking futs.
Question! None of my configuration changes are not taking the changes. For example, Audio headphone, shaders, smoothing, aspect ratio. I've changed all these settings and it did nothing when the rom was opened. I tried it on 2 diffent emulations. SNES and NES. Is there a administration lock to prevent any changes?
I am having an issue with Picodrive not saving my inputs. When I start the config is not loaded. Retroarch only loads the "default" input configs, which is just a keyboard. It usually would say "config loaded" and the controller name at the bottom left. I remap the inputs to my 8bitdo M30 (which I paired by holding start+B. The other pairing modes wouldn't recognize some buttons), and go to "save current configuration". The controller works as I have mapped them until I exit Picodrive. I boot it up again, and everything goes back to keyboard only. Also, when I try to use "save core overrides", all of my changes revert back to default right then and there. I have gotten rid of a gig of games I don't play, as well as resized the disk. This only happens in the Genesis emulator. I am pretty stumped on this one. Id rather not re image the disk since there are a bunch of games I have added. I don't recall messing with any settings in Picodrive. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Ok I have done this but every time I restart the system it forgets my "dragonrise" usb sticks and I have to remap each boot up. Also.. in the quick menu for each game no matter what I try nothing will let me map the controllers (for individual emulated systems) can anybody help? My wired USB xbox36 controller seems to be fine after each reset but still cant cofig in each system
Please help, my Emulation Station dont memory the Favorites. I can delte old Favorites and add new Favorites. But if i start new, there are the old Favorites again an no new Favorites. What can i dow? Thank you
I need help. I have done this as I got the memory full error on a new image. It strangely says memory 236gb used 231gb free 0mb 100% used. I have tried expanding several times. Can anyone help?
Hi, everything seemed to be running good, but I can’t quit a game, trying to press hotkey doesn’t do anything, start+select either, or even esc or F4 key on the keyboard.. it doesn’t do anything. It’s just like it doesn’t recognize that quit function.and yes I did expand.
Hi, I am trying to configure an Afterglow PS3 controller and I am able to do it on the RetroArch settings on Port #2 but when I try saving it an error saying "error saving autoconfig file" I am still able move around on the menu but as soon as I load an N64 or other rom, it says that my controller is not configured. Any advice or tips to solve this issue? I am using AutoBleem on the PS1 Classic connecting the USB controller on USB port 1. Thanks
Hey so this video is very helpful. I'm trying to walk through the steps you gave me and it still has trouble when it's rebooted. It keeps going to the arcade 1 up screen, when I wanted to go to I think it's called sweet you or something like that. It's also not saving the cues for last played game favorite games and my specific library. Do I have to load everything and re-save it?
Thanks this helped solved some issues I was having. I am still having one issue I was wondering if you could help with. In an FB Alpha game when I try to change the "Cabinet" setting to Cocktail (in the Quick Menu - Options) it wont save. Do you have any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks it solved my problem :) weird reactions when trying to expand the file system the A button was not working I had to push up in order to do A button Another Off topic question what is that splash booting with all startup screens ? I love it !!
Thanks for this info. I have a serious question.... I have an Xu4 & i got the new ora 1.5.2 image. Do I need to size that as well? I have a 256 card and im running into issues like retroarch freezing & not letting me escape back to the main menu. Some of my games have stopped working all of a sudden. should I not have updated anything 7 left it stock?
once in raspi config i cannot select advanced options... no matter what i use on gamepad it just switches between select and finish. I have setup the controller many times and no help.
Hey Ron another issue I have with images is I download a new image do an update like 4.3.8 and some of the RONS stop working Completely. I get frustrated and just wipe out the SD card, Reload the image and don't do any updates.
Hey there! I know, it's already nearly 2 years old now... First of, expanding the drive, excellent thing, FIRST time I heard about... and I've allready saw tons of videos about retropie & co... Now, ONE problem remains to me: I've tried the latest DAMASO (128) image.... works fine, but 2 things: StartX (after hitting F4) just leaves a black screen with mouse (nothing I can do on it, nothing), and last but not least problem (worst of) - FAVORITES not saving after a reboot... and I just can't find any working info for this. Hope you might help bout that one :-) Running the Rpi 4 (4gb).... thanks in advance, and... THANKS for your video!!!!!! Cheers
@@Darrenmccarthymusica Hi! I think everyone has this problem, because I got 2 Raspi4, and re-downloaded the image, and tried different things...nothing to do, favorites are lost after reboot! I gave up searching... now if you know your favorites, you can build up your favorite xml file on your own, and save it... that works after rebooting, but, needs to be done manually :-)

You’re incredible brother! God Bless!
If you are running off USB you have to make a live GParted drive to expand it on your computer, it won't work from within the RetroPi distro.
hey, how do you do this ?
Thank you so much! It worked!!!!! I can save my controller settings
thanks mlp dont have my retro rig built yet but this is good to know
You are a genius!
Thanks. Gave it a try and no dice. I used to be able to override game buttons fine and it saved. Now it will not anymore after I exit the game, it reverts. Will save other config changes though. Its driving me nucking futs.
Thank you, kind sir.
My controller settings still aren't being saved after doing this. Any ideas? I saved autoconfig and save on exit options from retroach.
i managed to expand mine but the games will not boot and controller configs will still not save. not sure what my issue might be
I added some more roms and there is no place to save in game. I will give this a try.
Great video, it was just what I was looking for....
