My ROMS worked before... but now they don’t
-
@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 No lr-gw is optional.
-
@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.
-
@Unknown Thanks for the help. I will try to look more into it. If you find anything more that will help, just reply.

@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!
-
@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.

How to replicate the problem: Install lr-gw -
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.
-
@mitu I have the pixel desktop installed.

@Brandon12345678 Do you think that uninstalling it will solve the problem?
