pi4 retropie 4.6 OPT FOLDER Permission denied

[shavecat]

Trying to change to file.cfg
but i cannot
Permission denied
Cannot also copy files or remove from opt folder same thing
any help?

Which file, full path, exactly ? The system's config file in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg is not writable by the regular pi user (as it has always been).

@mitu
/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg
yeha always change it to make different consoles .... Always ...
and cant copy files to opt /emulators ...
trying any way but not working...

That's normal - you don't have permission as user pi to those locations. If you want to edit the .cfg, then check https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/#editing-es-configs and read carefully what are the downsides of customizing your own es_systems.cfg.
