        You're trying to open a .7z archive from MC, but you don't have the 7Zip utilities installed - as the error message tells you. Install p7zip with apt and you'll probably be able to get rid of this message.

            @jorgejohnson72 You can exit EmulationStation (from the Quit menu) and run, from the command line:

            sudo apt install p7zip
            

            Go back to EmulationStation by typing emulationstation.
