          @Yui Well, that's the command line used to start the emulator for the ROM in question. Can you try enabling verbose logging from the Runcommand launch menu and re-open the log file ? It should have more content, if you can post the output to pastebin.com we might have an indication of the error.

            I dont know what you mean by post it to paste bin, do you want me to type out everything including the info, just the errors, Also I've never used it so I don't know how it works

              @Yui Use WinScp to transfer the file to your PC, open it up in Notepad, then copy and paste the content on pastebin.com. Copy the URL where the content is and add here in the post.

              Or just try getting another ROM, my bet is still that the ROM is not correct.

                      @Yui nes rom is missing headers. i.e. bad rom source

                          @Yui bingo. No intro roms are generally proper formats. Obviously due to forum rules acquiring content for retropie lies on the end user. Good luck
