Gamelists not saving
-
Hello,
I got a problem which bothers me - any changes made in ES, even playcount, doesn't save in gamelists. When system is being shut down, error apperas at the top:Error saving gamelist.xml to "/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/*insert system name here*/gamelist.xml" (For system *insert system name here*)
Path is correct and the only gamelist files are in system folders of path seen above.
I got this error after fresh install of Retropie 4.4. and just copying my roms, gamelists, downloaded_images folders from my backup of Retropie 4.4.ES_log file:

Gamelists were made last year with UXS scraper, worked fine till reinstallation of the system.

Look like a permission problem, did you connect UXS with the
root
user to the Pi ? -
Thanks! That was the case.
Problem solved.
