emulation system crashed

Can you test without the arcade panel to see if the ES crash again?

If it crash again run from the terminal :

emulationstation --debug

and post the es_log.txt file here.
The path for this file:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_log.txt

There's no file. After the crash, press ok to close the error message and you're taken to a back screen with a prompt (that's the command line), where you type the command given (emulationstation --debug) and press enter

The command line looks like this:

Does it crash when you start it a 2nd time - with the command I posted earlier ? If yes, then post the last messages shown on the screen after the crash.

When you 'upload' the roms, what's the process you're following ? The method recognized by RetroPie is this.

@mitu it doesnt crash again but it seems like retro pie dont remember the roms that i upload before the restart (i followed after the method recognized by RetroPie) its make sense ? or maybe my roms doesnt work.

@harelnaveh10 are you sure that you haven't used the 'Run roms from the USB stick' method ? Because that would explain why your ROMs are not showing up.

Another explanation is that you're trying to copy too much ROMs and your mSDcard is getting full, given you have a small capacity (8Gb) card. How many ROM files are you trying to copy - what's the size of the retropie folder on the USB stick you're using to transfer the ROMs ?

@mitu i look again in the 'Run roms from the USB stick' and i find out that i didnt do one step the 'Disable USB transfer daemon' becuse i cant get in to retropie setup every time i open the retropie setup it think for couple of seconds and then return to the retropie menu (and also suddenly all my buttons doesnt work) how can i fix it and succsesfuly enter retropie setup?

i was afraid of this thats way for the start i was tried to upload one game so the storage doesnt get full

@harelnaveh10 without any palpable error message it's not clear to me what's going wrong with your system. But when the disc is full, all kind of things stop working.

Exit EmulationStation and take a look at the RetroPie splash screen - one of the first lines is related to Filesystem and it shows how much space is used on /. if it's 100%, then you may be running out of space.

mitu
