      Pi Model: 3
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.4
      Built From: Raspbian
      Emulator: lr-snes9x2010
      Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log:

      Parameters:
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-snes9x2010/snes9x2010_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/Super Metroid.sfc" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1008: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch: Permission denied

      Roms worked fine previously -- Not sure what caused it.
      Thanks in advance for any help getting those permissions.

        @mikepd213 Re-install all your packages, do an update, then try again. You probably messed up the permissions (executable bit) on your files.
