      I have no clue of whats going on this happens to all emumators now, if i choose one for a rom i cant change it back, i even delete the emulator i dont want but still shows up as the emulator choice and cant remove or change it back to another one, im still using the last version of retropie not the new one is that why?

        @nestor1924 Use the Runcommand menu to switch emulators before running the ROM - as described in the Docs.

            @nestor1924 ok, so what does 'I can't switch' mean ? You don't get to the Runcommand launch menu or you the Runcommand menu does not work or ... ?

                Individual ROM preferences for emulators are set in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulators.cfg. Can you confirm whether or not the individual settings are being removed from there?

                      Two things to note. First, long blocks of text should be posted to something like pastebin.com. Second, the listings you have there govern which ROMs are used by which emulators. For example, snes_BSF-ZeroGrandPrix2 = "lr-snes9x2005" means that the SNES system will launch the 'BSF-ZeroGrandPrix2' ROM using 'lr-snes9x2005' as the emulator. Try to remove one of those settings through the Runcommand window as you've been trying to and then revisit the emulators.cfg file to see if that entry has been removed.
