      You should use pastebin.com for large walls of text, it doesn't modify the formatting and it's easier to inspect.

          @COMMANDERY11 You should post the URL you get after posting on the site. But if you're problem is solved, there's no need for it.

            Okay sadly It has not been fixed yet. https://pastebin.com/LecC53XE

            I think I fixed the paths now though. Just so you know when I go onto file manger. To get to my .emulationstation I go to...

            E:.emulationstation
            Then to get to my roms
            E:.emulationstation\roms
            and lastly my Retroarch folder
            E:.emulationstation\Retroarch

              How are you starting Emulationstation ? Do you use a .cmd/.bat file ? What version of Emulationstation are you using ?

                  Try copying your es_systems.cfg back to the original location.

                      @COMMANDERY11 so, does it work ? If not, try copying it to C:\Users\izaya\.emulationstation.

                        It does not work... Or you think I should put my .emulationstation back where it is supposed to be in my C:\Users\izaya location and leave my roms in the E: drive since downloading roms decreased my storage in my original drive and just change the paths on the cfg file you think that will work?

                          @COMMANDERY11 Sure, that should work.
