Maybe the SDcard is corrupted and the file cannot be read correctly, you can remove the file (it will be re-created by EmulationStation) and try restarting the system again.

Thanks I will try to fix it according to your idea

@mitu Thanks, I hadn't really considered support with the Retroflag case, and while it looks like the patches it uses probably work whatever the OS version (provided it meets some basic requirements), I am probably best off using the Buster image, at least first go. I'll try that. Thanks!

@mikejkelley turns out it was an xbox controller firmware needing update issue.

When I tried to publish my original post - It looked like the system freaked out and deleted it / didn't post it at all.

First time posters need to have their topic approved first (it's a spam countermeasure). Their subsequent posts are not subject to moderation.

I can't reproduce this with exFAT using a Pi3 (which is the same platform as the Pi Zero 2w). I have an up-to-date RetroPie system created from the RP Pi3 image and updated regularly.

Starting with an empty drive and adding the retropie folder to it, the synchronization of the folder by the usbmount service preserves the case for all folders - the folders under roms are all lower case, the only uppercase folder is the BIOS folder and that's outside the roms folder.

Ok, also thanks for your help, but I think I'm just gonna reinstall it without the desktop environment

@mitu that fixed the problem and now it’s fully built, thank you

Thanks again @sleve_mcdichael. This will make the identification of the culprit much easier, but there is a catch: I will be away for a few weeks, but will definitely fix this end of June.

I was just asking for the ES version, to test on the same version, not that I was thinking ES has an issue.

After some thinking, I guess my oversight that the gamelists may also reside inside ~/.emulationstation/gamelists/ could be the cause of some if not all issues.

Setting the gamelistFolder to the same as the inputFolder and copy the existing gamelists to the inputFolder (i.e. sibling to the games) could be a workaround. However, it is a guess, I did not verify it by myself.

@pindapoe

I had something similar to this and I had -x and -y arguments in the .commands file that was restricting the size of the video window. Take them out. But yeah, Hypseus all the way....

Whoohoo!

I got it back running once again!

It gave me much joy to see that the save file from the Final Fantasy game I've been playing on handheld showed up as available on my Pi!

I even said in my best hacker voice, "I'm in...." lol

At least I took excellent notes this time around in case another update is ever needed. :)

@Lolonois Tried apt list --installed | grep ^alsa but gave me a "command not found" error

I had to configure Audio Device to that way to make it work in Pi 5, maybe that is the problem with linapple?
