      @clyde Hi, thank you for responding. I am going to buy a new pi and then carefully read the documents you shared to fix my current pi for another project. Thanks again.

      @mitu That procedure worked fine. underlying OS has been upgraded as well as the Retropie code. No need to re-install anything. I'm currently in deep testing of the image. Thanks so much.

      I just received my new pi and all is working now. Time to start the rebuild and customization. I tried backing my old build on my pc before i started having issues, 64gb card, but it would always fail at 39gb when writing the image to my 2tb hard drive. Even with multiple readers.

      @Robster1727

      Pi Model or other hardware: (B, B+, 2 B, 3, X86 PC etc..)
      Power Supply used: (If using a Pi)
      RetroPie Version Used (3.6, 3.8.1, 4.01 etc.. - do not write latest):
      Built From: (Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website, Berryboot, or on top of existing OS etc.. - please provide the filename of any image used)
      USB Devices connected:
      Controller used:
      Error messages received:
      Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant):
      Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide)
      File: (File with issue - with FULL path)
      Emulator: (Name of emulator - if applicable)
      Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS)
      How to replicate the problem:

      I'm not lecturing you, I'm telling you to give us the information as listed in the terms and conditions of signing up to the forum. Without all of the information it makes it much much harder for people to help as RetroPie can be built in multiple ways on multiple hardware with many custom tweaks.

      I was blunt with you so you could provide the information quicker and allow the forum members to try and help you.

      @soonerdoc If you install ES from source it will be fixed (or wait 30 mins and re-install from binary).

      @synack, The Pi works fine when I put my Raspbian card in and boot it up, so I think the Pi is fine.
