Description

You closed little bit too fast my topic :(

Files ipf not working for me and why:

[libretro INFO] Opening cfgfile '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga//puae_libretro.uae'
[libretro INFO] Known ROM 'KS ROM v1.3 (A500,A1000,A2000)' loaded
[libretro INFO] DLOPEN: /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/capsimg.so: failed to map segment from shared object
[libretro INFO] DLOPEN: Failed to open /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/capsimg.so
[libretro INFO] Unable to open capsimg.so
[libretro INFO] Failed to load CAPS plug-in.
[libretro INFO] This disk image needs the C.A.P.S. plugin which is available from http://www.softpres.org/download
[libretro INFO] No disk in drive 0.

When I run games from microcards with retropie system is ok but if I use auto-mount method* for USB external devices core cant find capsimg plugin ( I manual copy caps plugin to usb folder bios and microcard).


Automatic Mount (Easiest Method)

Before proceeding, make sure the usbromservice (Optional packages section) is installed and enabled, especially if you have installed RetroPie manually.

Create a folder called retropie-mount on the USB drive
Plug into Raspberry Pi
It will proceed to automatically copy the RetroPie folder AND all of its contents (you may need to reboot to start the copying)

Research direction

Start with the log showing puae_libretro.uae failing to load capsimg.so when games are launched from USB-mounted RetroPie folders. Compare the USB automount setup with the working microcard setup and determine why the CAPS plug-in is not found or mapped. Done means the cause is identified and IPF games can load the plug-in through the automount path.
