      "readonly mode, sorry [start with --edit?]" error message whenever I try to launch any game.

      @calvorejas I'm starting to think that it might be a hardware problem...
      Because I restarted multiple times and by wiggling the sticks (it's a homemade arcade machine) before launching any game, anything, it seems that the problem disappears... But I don't know for sure if this is possible... I though I broke something software related, but now it seems it has to do more with hardware than software...

      A bug I have always encountered is that sometimes... My right stick gets stuck like it is being push to the right... And I have to wiggle it so it stops being permanently pushed... Although, the stick is not being physically touched or pushed to the right, it's not even broken, the microswitch that tells the arcade that the stick is being pushed to the right is not even being physically pushed...

      What's weird is that this had never prevented games and programs to launch... And now it seems it does if I not wiggle the sticks before I launch something...

      Does anybody have any idea why this could be happening?

      I'm a bit confused - the right permissions for the gamelists are to be owned by the user pi. If you change the file to be owned by root, then Emulationstation (which runs as user pi) will not be able to save any metadata (writing back the gamelist.xml file).

      Make sure the files are owned by the user pi, then try again to see if the metadata is saved. If it's not, show a screenshot of the file's permissions. Also, make sure you didn't accidentally disabled saving the metadata on exit from the Emulationstation settings.

      @navi87 said in EmulationStation custom options menues:

      Is there any way to manually edit and replicate the menu on ES when you press start as shown in the video? Where would such files be on the sd card??

      As i said - 2 years ago - that's not the RetroPie's version of EmulationStation, so it's doesn't apply to the RetroPie's EmulationStation, where the same answer I gave then is still valid.

      @zarrath I can't really give you a point by point description, but there is a guide on the RetroPie wiki that teaches you how to make themes. I should point you in the right direction at least.

      https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Creating-Your-Own-EmulationStation-Theme

      One simple thing I can tell you, if you just want to hide some text to stop it showing up, you can use <fontSize>0</fontSize>. This effectively tells ES to make that element have a font size of 0, so nothing can be seen. You use it like this:

      <text name="md_description"> <fontSize>0</fontSize> </text>

      This would stop the description from showing on the screen. If you wanted to move the existing elements, or change their size, you would need to play with <size> and <pos>.

      Also keep in mind that you may have to make changes to each theme.xml within the system folders as well as changing carbon.xml, but that would depend on what you want to change.
