Unable to Change emulators

@Ken-Tipton said in Unable to Change emulators:
I don't know where to check rev number so am unable to post it but I updated today
The RetroPie version is shown at the top of the RetroPie-Setup script, right after start
Can you add more details about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?
-
I am running Raspberry Pie 3 B+
Retropie version 4.6.4please let me know what additional information might be needed. Thank you to all on this forum for support
Ken -
please let me know what additional information might be needed
It's always recommended to add the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, as I mentioned before.
As a quick test, find the
emulators.cfg
file from the\\retropie\configs\all
share folder and rename it (add.bak
extension to it). See if you can change emulators after this change (no need to reboot). -
@Ken-Tipton Sounds like you have disabled the runcommand menu - check the runcommand settings from the RetroPie menu in Emulation Station.
-
@mitu They can't access the runcommand menu at all I think from what they wrote. Not just being able to change emulator.
-
So I changed the file extension from emulators.cfg to emulators.bak and that fixed the issue. Just for my knowledge what did that exactly do?
Thank You MITU

The association between ROMs/Games and emulators is stored in that file. If the file becomes corrupted (for some reason),
runcommand
might have trouble reading it and might not run correctly.Can you post the contents of the renamed file here ? Just to see if indeed the file was at fault.

-
Well, there's nothing suspect in the entries you posted, although the complete file would be useful to detect any issues. For large text contents, you can use
pastebin.com
.EDIT: Why do you have such a large file - did you manually add associations for all your ROMs ? Do you have more than 30000 roms ?
-
I have about 8k games. I said 30k lines but I think the cut off was actually 30k words.
<script src="https://pastebin.com/embed_js/szX6Lw1X"></script>

The file doesn't seem faulty. Can you rename it back and see if you still have the problem ?
-
renamed it and it still works
I don't know what the problem was but renaming it seemed to make it work
