      I am just wondering if someone can give me a list of the BIOS files (in just the BIOS folder, not the subfolders) that come preinstalled with RetroPie 4.0.2? I added a bunch of BIOS that I want to remove, but I don't want to remove the ones that came with it, that I will need. I understand I can write a fresh img, it will just take a bit to do so.

        This is a tough question to answer because it can depend on which emulators you installed after a fresh install of RetroPie 4.0.2.

        Just for fun I mounted the retropie-4.0.2-rpi2_rpi3.img file and browsed to the /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS directory and here's the only files I saw:

        fast.bin
        skip.bin
        system.bin
        

        Make sure you've got everything backed up before proceeding!!!

        Maybe you can just move all the other BIOS files into a Temp directory and then just run the RetroPie Setup Script and then Update All Installed Packages. Maybe that'll reinstall all the other stock BIOS files. I don't know if it will work but it's worth a shot.

        If all else fails, just reimage and reload the ROM and BIOS files that you actually want.
