So close... I had an old PC sitting around collecting dust so I formatted that to Ubuntu 12.04. I re-did everything from that machine. Before I started, when I plugged in the SD card that I had setup from the Win7 machine into the Ubuntu machine it seemed to mount the two partitions fine ... but it also gave me a pop-up error message about not wanting to mount the drive for some reason ... even though I could see both parts. Anyways, it did this each time I mounted the card. After I reformatted the card with the beaglesnes image that message has no longer come up. I have mounted the card several more times too.
At first it did not work. Then I took it out of its Adafruit case<http://www.adafruit.com/products/1555?gclid=CNGJv-2J3rsCFVLxOgodcRsAeA>and tried. Then it would boot up, give me music, and let me scroll through the placeholder's in the default config. I am certain I tried this before but it did not matter. I quickly realized that the molding on the cable needed to be cut down. If I had read adafruit's page closer, I might have caught that note. Not happy about that, but it worked. I think that I had both a cable problem and a Windows problem, but maybe it was only a cable/case problem and I didn't do something else write the time I tried that with the Win7 SD card setup. I have been at it for a while today, but the problem now is that it will not select the games I've added in the menu. I have tested the controller on the Ubuntu machine and can see the start and select buttons do register. I have been doing everything in the Ubuntu machine. The pictures are showing up, the text descriptions are updated. At first I had 5 games listed so I tried adding 5 more. Each time the menu list updated as expected, but pressing start or select doesn't do anything. The roms are all in the rootfs/home/ubuntu/beaglesnes/rom folder. They are all .smc. I even removed spaces and tried shortening the .smc file names. I'm only using one controller. I can't really think of much else to try right now. Again, I welcome any support. I attached my games.cfg file if that helps -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
