Sorry mate. I'm running retropie 4.0 on a pi3 model b iv had I running sweetly with a lot of emulators I downloaded a mame libretro romset and transferred them using USB method I restarted and it just keeps booting to command line where it says 'terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::filesystem_error' what(): boost::filesystem::directory_itcrator::construct: Permsission denied "/home/pi/RetroPie/rom/mame-libretro/muran" Aborted. And while in command terminal the keyboard will not work no keys will input. I tried to post a pic up with my first post but don't think k it uploaded.

@hannaman you can repeatedly hit f4 when booting until it kicks to the command line. Then your keyboard should work. Then you can give permissions to your whole mame-libretro folder.
-
@edmaul69 ok say I get control of the keyboard what permission do I need to give that folder or can I just delete it as I was happy with how it run before I transferred the romset just thought I'd give the mame set a go?
-
@hannaman i had given mine 777 permissions to the entire folder. If you can use mame-libretro i would recommend trying to.
-
@edmaul69 it won't let me change permissions it says error code 3 error message from server. Permissions denied.
-
Also hitting f4 done nothing.
-
