My ROMS worked before... but now they don’t

@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.

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

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

yes.

Brandon12345678

@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.

Brandon12345678

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

Unknown

@Brandon12345678 Are those emulators experimental?

Brandon12345678

@Unknown No lr-gw is optional.

Brandon12345678

@Brandon12345678 I do have drastic and lr-desmune which are experimental.

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

Brandon12345678

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

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.

@mitu Please moderate the posts above. There are rom site mentions and links.

@Thorr69 Thanks for the notice, you can report the post and it will be easier for any moderator to see it.

@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!

Brandon12345678

@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.

Retropie is not designed to be run from the desktop on a Raspberry Pi. Either exit the desktop and try again from the terminal or use a premade image from our site, which will probably be easier.

@BuZz I am running the official RetroPie image from the RetroPie site. I just want an answer or solution to why my games aren’t loading.

The official RetroPie image doesn't come with the desktop and - as it was repeatedly said in this topic - we don't support this configuration.
