      Pi Model or other hardware: (B,
      Power Supply used: (2.5
      RetroPie Version Used 4.2.3
      Built From: (regalad image
      USB Devices connected: keyboard
      Controller used: PS3
      Error messages received:

      I'm having a problem where when I reboot the pi and emulation station starts it automatically goes to the default theme
      Carbon I can change themes and they load
      But as soon as I restart it defaults back

      I've been working on my image for a few weeks downloaded roms
      Added a splash screen video
      Added some themes

      It's seemed to work fine for awhile
      But now I can't seem to get it I save my choice of theme

      I didn't recently uncomment overscan for the splash screen but I believe my themes still worked for after that I don't know what to try to fix it I've tried deleteing and re adding themes no look

      I can change the theme it just doesn't save it as the new default

        @sirkreuab you need to change ownership of your /opt/retropie/configs folder back to user pi. Go to the terminal (command line) and type

        sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/configs
        

        Remember linux is case sensitive, so the R is in caps but nothing else
