        Most likely you've run out of space, your SD card is 99% full, and EmulationStation cannot auto-start on boot. You're presented with the normal Linux terminal.

        What happens if you type 'emulationstation' and press Enter ?

            In this case, the screen you posted is normal - normally EmulationStation would have started on boot, like always. Without it, you're just dropped to the command line.

                You first have to make some room on your SD card - delete some ROMs - then you can re-install from the RetroPie-Setup menu. To start RetroPie-Setup, from the command line:

                cd /home/pi
                sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
                

                then go into the Manage Packages / Manage Core Packages / emulationstation and choose 'Update from source' or 'Update from binary'. This will re-install EmulationStation.
