      I am also having issues with both np2pi and Commander Genius crashing while the installation script is running. I will place my relevant log files and error messages below.

      Raspberry Pi 3B (not overclocked)
      RetroPie 4.2.16
      RetroPie installed on top of Raspbian
      2.4A power supply

      np2pi:

      Could not successfully install NEC PC-9801 emulator
      /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/np2pi/np2pi/bin/np2 not found

      Commander Genius (shows as installed because it worked months ago, but updating currently fails and this has left cgenius unable to run):

      Could not successfully install Commander Genius - Modern Interpreter for the Commander Keen Games (Vorticon and Galaxy Games)
      /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/cgeneius/vfsroot/games not found

      EDIT: Thank you BuZz! np2pi installation is now working for me.

        Thanks @BuZz i have update NP2PI and LR-Hatari without any problem.
        Do you write to not use lr-hatari because the original hatari emulator is better like ever ?

        I always have my problem with RETROARCH :(

        You are real for the SHADER directory, it was root access i don't know why ? I have change it for pi.
        But now it is my retroarch.cfg it don't like and crash the update :(

        install -m644 docs/retroarch-cg2glsl.6 /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/share/man/man6
        install -m644 media/retroarch.svg /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/share/pixmaps

        I try many things but nothing works for me :(
        I read there you write to remove the CONFIG dir and install again RETROARCH but it is impossible, i work so many days on my configs ...
        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9147/default-all-retroarch-cfg

        I have try to remove the retroarch.cfg and expect it will create a new one but it crash too :(
        Maybe if some one can share his file with me, i will use it to update and after i will update settings with mine.

        Thanks

        Life is game, just play it !
