I can’t seem to get Lakka on my pi 3 to show up in networks or use it through explorer on Vista. Now I’m getting an error when I run it through explorer.
Looks like something’s wrong with your Samba configuration. I’m not an expert (or even a Lakka user), but I’d wager this is going to require going over Samba conf files.
If your RetroPie is working fine, check its Samba files and replicate them in your Lakka install.
Something tells me it’s probably your Vista settings moreso than the Lakka settings (Lakka ain’t that complicated, certainly not as complicated as friggin’ Retropie).
Just got to ask the basic questions:
Pi 3, wired or wireless?
How big is the micro SD card you’re installing Lakka to?
ROMs/ISOs loaded on a different drive (USB) or on the SD card?
Using what kind of controller?
Generate a log: Since you can reach Putty, run “retroarch -v” and keep Putty open, and then try to Samba into it through Windows Vista Explorer and see if there are any error messages generated in the log.
How to generate a log: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Troubleshooting-Lakka/. For Putty, click the Networking Icon in the upper left part of the windows (those two PCs linked together), and you should have the option to copy all of the text in the Putty window to a clipboard.
What kind/brand/type of micro SD card are you using? (yes, a corrupted card will prevent you from Samba’ing into the unit).
1)Wireless. I’ve tried wired without a different result. It can be both.
2)3)7) 64 GB. I have no roms/isos currently on the sd card. I’ve tried two of the same cards that were new. No different result. They are legit Sandisk extreme bought off amazon. Micro SD.
Using a SNES Mayflash that comes up as “N64 Mayflash” but in the input it says “HuiJia USB GamePad” controller usb connected to a legit snes controller. I can map the inputs without a problem. It was not an issue with Retropie. I also have a wireless keyboard I bought from china with a touchpad.
5)Putty error log to clipboard:

When I samba through lakka to windows through explorer it gives me (Nothing shows up on computer networks).
Maybe it’s my computer. On Retropie I didn’t enter a password and when I tried to make a password (for retropie) vista didn’t let me. Is that part of the issue. Let me know when you can.
EDIT: Does my computer need wifi to connect to lakka (I don’t think so but I’d thought I’d ask) because I don’t have wifi currently on my computer. I just have it through ethernet. It’s through my router so that doesn’t make sense.
Another edit:
Also Retropie doesn’t share anymore. Very strange. This is the first time I booted it off a card in awhile. I also called my internet provider and shut off the firewall briefly and it did not seem to fix the issue. Retropie used to run flawlessly. Any ideas?
Not troubleshooting Retropie. You’re on your own there. Seeing it’s built on top of its own flavor of Linux OS (Debian), you’re going to have to ask them.
As far as Lakka, I’m assuming you enabled Samba and SSH on the Lakka menu, right? What IP address does it show on the Information -> Network Information menu of Lakka on the Pi 3? The fact that you can use Putty and SSH into it tells me it’s your PC/Vista. If it was truly Lakka doing it, you wouldn’t be able to do anything at all. The fact that you’re using Vista also tells me you need to update to Win10 since I know Microsoft cut Vista support and didn’t implement the Linux kernel files into any OS behind Win10.
Wait a minute…PPTP? Are you using a network bridge???
Just to let you know retropie was working I have the exact same files as before I switched to lakka. It’s the exact same card as well (for retropie not lakka). I personally don’t know what happened.
I have a feeling you’re SOL with that bridge in place. Lakka ain’t supposed to be PPTP (unless you enabled it in the network settings, but I sure as hell don’t remember seeing anything to that effect). But I use Win10. What do I know?
You could try using the IP address of Lakka in the Explorer window (i.e. \192.168.x.x) and see if it that works.
