      @mind_mash The idea was to post the output you get here, to determine if your SD card partition is mounted read-only, but you forgot to post the output. If this is the case (read-only mount), then we might be able to make it writable and you could remove the offending ROM from the SD card.

          @mind_mash said in emulation station crashes after "throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem_error':

          /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /media/lubuntu/retropie type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks2)

          Ok, so this is the location where the RPI main partition is mounted. Execute from a cli terminal sudo pcmanfm and the file browser should be started as root (superuser) - try to delete the offeding ROMs from the file browser.

            Ahhh, when in execute that command, it does not show the sd card. I tried taking it out and putting it back again but it won't show.

              @mind_mash Try this:
              Insert the card, then execute

              • sudo umount /media/lubuntu/retropie
              • mkdir /media/card && sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/card
              • sudo pcmanfm and open to the /media/card folder and try to see if you're able to see/delete the files you need. The ROMs folder should be in /media/card/home/pi/RetroPie/roms.

                      @mind_mash OK, glad you got it fixed. What you should do next is to enable SSH on the PI and fix the permissions on your ROM folder, so you won't get into this problem again. Look in the docs for how to enable SSH access and then login on the RetroPie and execute.

                      sudo chown -R pi /home/pi
