@mitu Ok, I can access log files from Retropie's file browser, just more comfortable with Raspbian but I can learn :-)

The runcommand docs page looks very helpful; I bookmarked that. If the TOC had said "Launching Games" instead of "Runcommand" I might have looked there :-)

@buzz Till that hiccup, it’s run fine from the desktop (This installation was from before rpi4 was supported and had an image). It just took a bit of tweaking. I did notice better performance when booting directly vs desktop, though it was outputting in 4:3 on a 16:9 TV and the resolution was low (I think) so the TV’s upscaling algorithm (4k tv) smoothed out the pixels (will have to tinker to see if I can fix that). I’m just glad it works again.

@BuZz thank you!!! really appreciate the help.

@mitu I wiped my ds card and redownloaded RetroPie everything is good now

@mitu Thank you. That was exactly what I needed to know! I have it working now. No idea how it got deleted, but glad this was the fix. Thank you very much.
