      Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      A verbose log - as explained i the link above - would be helpful to diagnose the issue.

        @mitu My apologies, I’m running a pi4 8gig model with the standard RetroPie image with an overclock. I will get you the log as soon as I can.

          @mitu I can’t find any files in “/dev/sum/“ . My system seems to not be creating a run command log. Do you have any idea why?

            @unknown It's /dev/shm/runcommand.log, not /dev/sum.

              @mitu Pardon my typo, I meant “shm”

                The /dev/shm/runcommand.log should be present immedately after launching a game, but it's not kept between reboots. Are you sure it's not present on your system after launching a game?

                  @mitu So it is deleted every time the system is shut off?

                    Yes, /dev/shm is a memory backed folder, so whatever is there is not stored on disc/sdcard since it's stored directly into RAM.

                        You've reset the RetroArch's configuration and the emulator cannot find the BIOS file

                        [libretro ERROR] TOS image '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atarist//tos.img' not found. Content cannot be loaded

                        You shouldn't reset the RetroArch's configuration, this erases any configurations added by RetroPie, including the BIOS folder location which is set as detailed in the Docs.

                          @mitu Can I fix the reset by running basic install, and reinstalling the emulator Lr-Hatari? I was unaware of this reset.

                            How come ? The configuration is not reset unless you explicitly do so.

                              @mitu I recall messing with setting trying to figure out my Colecovision problem. I may have accidentally told it to reset then.

                                @unknown It depends how you did the reset. Resetting the configuration for Colecovision shouldn't affect the other cores.
                                You can try removing the \\retropie\configs\atarist\retroarch.cfg and then re-install the lr-hatari core. It should add the default retroarch.cfg for the Atari ST system.

                                  I have my "tos.img" in the bios folder and am unsure why the emulator can't find it.

                                    Because it's not looking there. If you look in the log you posted, you'll see that SYSTEM_DIRECTORY is empty.

                                    You must have reset RetroArch after you started it from the main RetroPIe system, in which case you should look into \\retropie\configs\all and replace retroarch.cfg with retroarch.cfg.rp-dist, the default RetroPie configuration.

                                      @mitu If I delete the retroarch config file and reinstall retroarch will RetroPie put the correct file in place?

                                        @unknown Yes, but you don't have to. The retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file is the default configuration that RetroPie would generate, you can replace retroarch.cfg with it without reinstalling.
