      @mejp92 without having any clue which config file you are messing with, we have no clue how to help you. What changes did you make. Also which version of pi and which version of retropie?

                @mejp92 if you didnt create a backup of your image you might need to hook your card up to a linux system to fix it or to back up files you need to start over. One thing you can try is at boot just keep tapping f4 until you get into the command line. If you can get it to trigger before the system crash then you will end up at the command line but with the ability to type stuff. But there is a good chance that wont work.

                  the screenshot is already in the command line. if you type

                  sudo nano /etc/asound.conf <enter>

                  ...you can edit it, and maybe fix it.
