      Hi, i had a weird glitch last night that i need help with. i had my retropie setup working fine connected to wifi using my 8bitdo controller emulators working had some roms which i added through usb but last night i use filezilla to transfer some psx iso's ( haven't use psx yet ) booting into a game then decided to restart my system, upon restarting i got the usual retropie splash into ES loading screen but then i went back to the retropie splash screen and then into command line..

      i cant use my usb keyboard to type anything but can use ssh to try and run ES manually which presents the same issue, tried updating ES and the whole retropie install and that didn't change anything, had this issue yesterday and just reinstalled since i had no roms or anything but now i dont want to reinstall since its happened twice, any ideas?? thanks.

      tl;dr added PSX roms now emulationstation kicks me to command line on boot

        @Varyation Try updating emulationstation again. There was a fix committed to the repository shortly after you posted this.

            I setup my RetroPie, worked great the first few days. Than shut it down for the night, went to re-start it the next day. Than bang, it just kept going to the Prompt line, as mentioned above. At that point nothing works, usb keyboard & usb controllers won't do anything. Reloaded everything and it works, but I am fearful this will happen again. I don't want to have to reformat and reload weekly. This has to be a settings issue or something else.
