RetroDeck can't find SD Card #15

bmfrosty · 2022-06-02T23:14:29Z

Got my steam deck on Wednesday running 3.2.

Retrodeck says it can't find the sd card.

I formatted the sd card in the deck gui.

Mount point appears to be /run/media/mmcblk0p1 - which looks correct here - https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/blob/main/retrodeck.sh#L7

I'm happy to help troubleshoot.

Exact Error is:

SD Card is not readable.
Please check if it's inserted or mounted correctly and run RetroDECK again.

I've checked and I can move games on or off of the card in steam and I can get there in bash. In Dolphin (the file browser, not the emulator), it is labeled as Primary.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Steam_compat_mount=/your sd location/ %command%

In launch parameters

bmfrosty · 2022-06-02T23:20:44Z

When running it as a flatpak from the desktop with a doubleclick?

Where does retrodeck expect the sd card to be mounted?

bmfrosty · 2022-06-02T23:40:52Z

Steam_compat_mount=/your sd location/ %command%

In launch parameters

I tried:

Steam_compat_mount=/run/media/mmcblk0p1 flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck

And got the same gui error.
I tried both with and without the trailing slash.

Error when running from command line:

/app/bin/retrodeck.sh line 163: [: is_mounted: unary operator expected

Personally, I'm not seeing issues in the script, but I haven't put in a ton of time yet.
I also get a:

Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

But that seems less related.

EDIT: Please ignore my typos if there are any.

Have you tried only on gaming mode or even in desktop mode?
If so: can you please try it from desktop mode?

For triggering the installer again you can run it like this:
flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck --reset

If this doesn't work you can delete completely the two RetroDECK folders:

rm -rf ~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck
rm-rf ~/retrodeck

Be aware that your roms folder, saves and scraped data will be ereased with this, so you may want to backup it first.

If even in desktop mode it's not working you can temporarily choose Internal and then link your roms folder in your sdcard into <sdcard>/retrodeck/roms

I haven't gotten it to launch, so no roms folder or saves to worry about:

Here's a bunch of output:

And to answer your first question, I've launched it from the desktop, from he command line, from steam in the desktop, and from steam in gaming mode.

Tell me if you need screenshots of dialog boxes. There's one that asks me internal or sd card, and one that gives me the error.

monogoat · 2022-06-03T17:46:07Z

Having same problem, it seems like the script to check the SD Card is failing. Card is accessible via bash, gui, and Game mode.

I removed the "is_mounted" check from the setup script and it works as it should, creating the folders. It is not seeing the roms I have placed in the folder though, trying to figure out if it is related or a different issue.

Edit - Everything seems correct, files are in the right folder of the sd card and I tried moving them out of subfolders as well, and still no games show up when launched.

XargonWan · 2022-06-04T09:09:21Z

Thanks for your feedbacks, I will fix it soon.

Meanwhile please use internal and manually symlink the roms folder elsewhere.

SarahCeleste17 · 2022-06-04T15:27:57Z

I really think you should add this somewhere.....

Steam_compat_mount=/your sd/ %command%

Still behaves the same for me with or without that added to the run command

I believe that this is just for mounting the drives in Proton, but RetroDECK doesn't use it.

XargonWan · 2022-06-09T11:31:15Z

Should be fixed in cooker, I have to test it yet.
However the move roms tool will be broken until I will merge the branch cooker-new-variables

bmfrosty · 2022-06-09T15:48:55Z

Happy to do some testing once there's a flatpak build.

XargonWan · 2022-06-12T21:17:16Z

Fixed in the 0.4.1b, if I don´t have any counter feedbacks I will close this issue in a few days.

bmfrosty · 2022-06-12T23:51:18Z

Seems good to me. Thanks!
