      Earlier this year, I installed some new games onto my Retropie, but after I installed a few new games, I got hit with these errors both when I start a game, and when I shutdown the system. I bought the SD card preprogrammed and loaded with games, hence why I added a few games that weren't natively on the system, so I don't have any experience with programming things like a Raspberry Pi. I am hoping that this is an easy fix. I have a USB wireless keyboard that I think can work with it if needed. I apologize if I don't respond very quickly. I hope someone can help me. Thanks, Garrett.

        @glovewithsauce You've run out of space. You might have added CD games which are space hogs. Since you bought a "pre-loaded image" no one knows what you have so you're going to have a hard time finding someone to help. Maybe the seller can assist.

          I agree that your SD card is probably full. My suggestion is to get an empty one and install RetroPie on it along with the games you actually want to play. It really isn’t as difficult as you may think provided you aren’t trying something out of the ordinary. No programming required. Besides, with a system like that, there are plenty of people who can help you with any issues you may have.

            @iandaemon I installed a few PS1 games, but then I deleted them to see if that would help. The seller who sold me the card got kicked off of eBay, so I think I'll just have to buy a new one. Thankfully, I only played probably less than 10% of the games that were on it. It had like 999,999 games, most being shovelware for the NES, GBA, and the like.

I actually tried to write my own Retropie card before I bought one, but I had to add the bios for stuff like the NES, and after a few times, the Retropie would just brick itself, and I have no idea why.

                NES doesn't require BIOS, unless you're talking about FDS ?

                but in any case, games not loading on standard retropie is something we can support and help you with, but pre-installed cards is something we cannot, so please don't purchase another of those :)
