Raspberry as emulator

Fri Nov 13, 2015 8:37 pm

Hi,
I have some questions about using a raspberry.
I have instaled the lakka version nigthly in my sd card, using the program win32diskmanager, my sd card get reduced from 2gb to 250 megabytes, what am I doing wrong?
Because of the problem above i am using a flash card to run the games. When i try to run cps1, cps2, neogeo, mame and atari the raspberry cant recognize, what am i doing wrong?

Note: I am using the nightly version bellow:
Lakka-RPi2.arm-devel-20151107182109-r21196-g294886a.img.gz 07-Nov-2015 22:55 128M
I am also using the roms in zip format.

Thank you,
Marcos

You are looking at the card in Windows? When you use win32diskmanager to copy to the SD card it copies a structure called "partitions" - the first partition is a vfat partition (required to boot the Pi), the second is a Linux ext4 partition that contains the operating system. Windows cannot see a ext4 partition, so it just looks like your card has been "shrunk" - it hasn't and you can see the whole card if you look with a Linux system.

Does the card boot when you put it in the Pi 2? A 2 GB card looks a bit small, but I don't know about the Lakka installation process
