      @shura-3275 said in master system:

      I looked for my emulator it is: emulationstation V2.9.1RP
      and I tried the "CARBON" theme but it does the same.

      How did you install the system ? Did you use the image from retropie.org.uk/download or another image ?

      Do you have video previews enabled in EmulationStation ?

      EDIT: can you find the \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg file and post its contents here in the topic ?

          @shura-3275 How did you copy your ROMs over to the Pi ?
          Did you use the file shares method described here ?

          If you have a PC (with Windows installed), just open Windows file explorer and type \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\ in the location input. If asked for a user/password, use pi/raspberry. This should open a folder, where you can find the configuration file I asked.

                Almost. I'm going to ask you again - what image did you use to install RetroPie ? This doesn't look like a stock image you would download from retropie.org.uk/download.

                    Somehow I'm not convinced you're running an official RetroPie image.

                    • your system has a custom es_systems.cfg that's doesn't exist by default on a RetroPie stock image. You need to create one manually and copy it to the folder that you just had trouble opening.
                    • if you'd have used the RetroPie image that your screenshots shows, you wouldn't had the login issue from the other topic you opened.

                    As the https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first states, we don't support 3rd party images.

                      the image is well downloaded on the site but considering what you tell me I think I know why ....
                      the roms, bios etc ... come from a friend of which I have copy on my PC and after having downloaded the image I have copy roms, bios ..... on my raspberry via cable rj45.
                      I also copied her configs, splashcreen. maybe I would only copy roms and bios and not the rest ???,

                        @mitu is there a way to change something from "configs" or do you think i have to start from the beginning and insert only roms and bios ??

                          I suggest you start with a fresh image and add your ROMs/BIOS files, leaving the configurations alone for this first step.

                            very well, that's what I'm going to do.
                            thank you again for your help and your patient to answer me. thank you and good luck
