What Should i Know Before i Power the RaspiBoy On?
Posted: Sun 8 Oct 2017 04:47
i got my kit. It's put together. All is good. (i hope) NOW..... What do i need to know before i power the unit on?
Are there any Do's or DO-NOT's that i need to know about. i tell You were this is coming from....
i saw a few threads talking about the RaspiBoy NOT Turning back on after being used because it was NOT shut down properly.
From what i have read...Just use the shutdown option in the RetroPie Menu and when the screen looks crazy.. it's safe to turn it off.
OH.. and i have read that it's not good to charge the unit and have the unit turned on at the same time.
i did see a table of Hotkeys on the RetroPie site. But until i start using the unit.. the key combinations haven't stuck in my head yet.
i'm scared that i'm not going to remember the Hotkeys... and might screw something up.
So.. Yeah... i've had it for a few days now.... and i have yet to power it on. i'm too scared to turn it on.
i have this knack of breaking things. Usually around 5 minutes after taking it out of the box.
Some encouragement and some good advice would really help right now!!!
Thanks, David, ThunderBoyDavid

OH -- Question... If i connect the USB drive and let the RaspiBoy do it's thing... Then connect the USB to my Desktop and copy over my ROMs and transfer them over to the RaspiBoy.... That's putting them ON the RaspiBoy... How do take them back off?? What if some of the ROMs don't play well? Or Don't work at all? What is the procedure to taking them back off? ----Thanks!!!
YES.. i do have the Raspberry Pi Zero.. but have not setup Wifi yet.. because.. i haven't turned it on yet.
Would transferring ROMs be easier using Wifi or USB???? ----Okay--- Thanks!!!!
