        I can't even get in to retropie any more. It just kicked me out and says error while loading share the libraries libvlc.so.5 cannot open shared object file no such final order directory

          I expect you'll need to provide a bit more detail here. :)

          https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

          What did you do last time it was working?
          What do you suspect might have broken it?
          Where did you install it from?
          What ES branch are you using?
          Where are your ROMs and media - in a USB drive? SD Card?

          Thanks.

            Think carefully about this type of plea for help. It's like me saying "HELP! my PC died, I have Windows 10. Please help". There is simply no way to help. It's impossible.

              Given the vague request for assistance, I am going to assume you bought your pi with a ready to play pre-loaded image and have not gone through the steps to set one up yourself?

                  You need to provide way more info so we can help you out, we simply cannot see via the internet whats going on lol (would be awesome if it was possible :P) The more info you provide the easier it is for people to reply.

                            @gametravaler try removing the USB stick and reboot and see if it works. I had a issue recently where a folder went corrupt on the stick and was causing the issue. Retropie told me in the command line what directory was giving me issues, removed it and all is well.
