    Thank you.

    Is that Re-install (from pre-built binary) or Install from source?

    So sorry.
    David.

        Re install from binary didnt work so installing from source now. Seems to be doing more as more text flashing up on screen.

        Thanks.

          No. Neither of these have cured it. Its still doing it. Do I need to wipe and restart? I hope not....

            It could be one of your configuration files. Try renaming the config file in \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation, the es_settings.cfg.
            Can you also post the contents of the log file es_log.txt, that's in the same folder mentioned above ?

              @mitu Ok thanks. Bear with me. What do you want me to rename the config file to? I'll pull up the contents of the other file now....

                On second though, why don't you post its contents, instead of renaming it ? That and the es_log.txt file's contents.

                      The config file seems ok and there's no obvious error in the log. Try removing the gamelist.xml files that you find under the \\retropie\configs\all\gamelists\ folders and restart again.

                        Erm...I dont have a gamelists folder. Is that the cause? I do have a retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\gamelists\ folder though. If it is the one, every folder within there has a gamelist.xml file in. Is it the one in 'zxspectrum' im deleting? As that was the system I was using when it all went wrong?

                        Thanks.
                        David.

                          Yes, that was a typo. Try deleting/renaming them one by one (starting with zxspectrum if you'd like) and see if that gets EmulationStation working again.
