You can ftp into the pi with a program like winscp, go to the file location posted above and open the file, change the name of theme to carbon and save then reboot.

@pimpmaul69 when i use winscp, and connect to the pi i cant see the .emulationstation folder?

[Hypo]

@pimpmaul69 Scratch that last comment, i found the file, apperently it already is carbon :"(

(Why such a rush? do you have better things to do?)

Did you add a lot of new ROMs (with metadata/images) ? If so, try and remove some to see if that allows you to get back into the system.
If that solves the issue, you are sure that it really is some sort of memory-limit that is bothering you.

If not, then there might be something else going on, although I highly doubt it.

tried that, still white..
