          when I restart it gives me this error
          error saving gamelist.xml to ""/home/pi/Retropie/Roms/arcade/gamelist.xml"" (for system arcade)!

          Just an observation here, why is Roms CaPiTaL R?
          And Not roms...

            Hence my previous question. Either a bad edit of es_systems.cfg or a typing error. Neither would be present on a new installation though.

              @mitu the info you tell me to follow on the link about documentation..

              sorry if i do some confusion , im done a screenshot so you see the situation..

              the capital R was my typing error sorry..

              alt text

              as you see on top of my screen this is the same for some other systems..

              on this location i not have any gamelist.xml .. i have tryed with filezilla too give 777 permission to arcade folder but the situation is the same... i think it not do the chmod 777....

              about space on my Sd i have other 50GB

              I have already formatted the memory and flashed the image again but the situation is the same

              Many thanks for your repply

                    We don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones loaded with ROMs. This is clearly specified in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Either ask for support from the author(s) of the 128Gb image you used or - if you wish to get support here - use the RetroPie image from https://retropie.org.uk/download/.

                      Hoo yes, understand the problem is that everything has always worked since 2009 until a few days ago that I had to flash again .. I'm switching to a mini pc everything is easier and faster, I have people with disabilities at home and at the time I chose retropie for ease of use but now I don't understand why it started giving problems ....
                      can't you give me some advice?

                      Anyway thank you, a lot for your time ..have a nice day

                        Yes, use the image from https://retropie.org.uk/download/, it should work without the issue(s) you're describing.
