        @Unknown Other forums say that this is harmless and doesn’t affect anything.

        @Brandon12345678 Either there was more errors, or it affects some thing after all.

        You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

          @Unknown Where would you find those other errors. I really don’t want to have to reinstall the os again. I can access the pi via ssh.

            @Brandon12345678 I would try reinstalling those emulators or removing them. If that doesn't work than I don't know .

              @Unknown To reinstall them would you select remove and then install from source.

                Well I was asking if you saw any other errors in the "run command file". Sorry that I didn't make that clear.

                    @Unknown No other errors. It has been almost all downhill with this pi. Anytime I got a lot of things working, it would stop on me. I even had to get a new tv for it and lose all my previous roms before I got this os.

                      @Unknown reinstalling doesn’t work. It still boots me back into EmulationStation after selecting a rom.

                        @Brandon12345678 Are those emulators experimental?

                              @Brandon12345678 I wish I could help you more, but I'm not an expert. I hope you find the answer you want.

                                  My runcommand says the following,

                                          @mitu I installed the official RetroPie 4.6 rpi4 image running on 32-bit raspbian lite. Also sorry about the romsite problem. Won’t happen again!

                                            @mitu Since you’re a Global moderator, would you have any explanation of what is going on with the problem of roms not booting on RetroPie? Is it a bug or a file error? The only configuration I did today was to add a super game boy system by editing the es_systems.cfg file. I think that installing emulators adds more lines to the es_systems.cfg so maybe it is that?
