      @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?

                              @Unknown Thanks for the help. I will try to look more into it. If you find anything more that will help, just reply.

                                My runcommand says the following,

                                You're running RetroPie using an unsupported configuration - via the desktop environment. How did you install RetroPie ? Please add more info, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

                                      @Brandon12345678 Please don't post links to ROM sites - this is one of the rules of the forum to which you agreed when signing-up.

                                        @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?

                                            That's not the reason for which systems or roms would disappear. Please provide the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to diagnose this problem.
