    Hi everyone,

    Earlier today I was trying to get openbor setup on my pi. With a few script commands, it seems that I have done something to compromise my entire retropie setup.

    At this time, I can not run any existing script on my pi whatsoever including audio, bluetooth, retropiesetup, retroarch, etc.

    Interesting enough, a rom still starts up and plays correctly. It seems to be a problem limited to anything that I try to activate in the options menu.

    I get an error like this, regardless of what script I try to run:

    Module /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh is missing valid rp_module_id

    Module /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh is missing valid rp_module_desc


    Is there a way to resolve this without having to do a complete reinstall?

    Thanks in advance!

      Discovered a fix for anyone who experiences the same problem:

      //to clean update script

      cd RetroPie-Setup

      cd origin/master

      git pull

      git clean -d -f

      git reset —hard origin/master

      // should be cleaned up now and script should update on next check

      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

      if it doesn't work for some reason

      login:pi
      password:raspberry

      Thanks!

        It looks like you created this file incorrectly - this file is not part of RetroPie - attempting to install another version of openbor. Deleting the file would have fixed the problem.
