      Update, im updating "underlay kernal" as suggested in the Update all installed packages. will write back and let you know if it fixes error.

      (also, emulationstation is SUPER laggy atm, and not displaying certain emulators on emulator selection screen, just a white screen for said selection)

            @red2blue Updating the kernel has slight chances to fix ES. The problem comes from the theme/ES interaction.
            Same problem happens also with the default (Carbon) theme ?

                  @red2blue EmulationStation recently was updated with support for Collections - Favorites, Last played, All Games + custom collections. See https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11321/theme-changes-attention-theme-makers-upcoming-game-collections-in-es
                  Any theme that didn't support this new feature will probably show errors. The list of updated themes is at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11477/es-themes-ready-for-favorite-all-games-recently-played-and-custom-collections

                          i think i figured it out??? Save Metadata on exit was turned off.. i never touched it tho... would that be the issue?

                            How are you getting the metadata into it, namely the videos? What scraper are you using?

                              @pjft i scraped all my things months ago and everything was working perfectly until i updated from 2 months worth of updates...

                              I used screenscraper but that shouldnt matter, like i mentioned earlier, Everything was working correctly.
