For some reason my Metadata does not save once I exit emulation station. for PSX games. I have tried to perform different things I have read online but it does not seem to work. Anybody know an easy way to fix this and what this error message below means.

This is the file where your metadata is saved and ES complains it cannot find it. Have you done any modifications to your installation - changing permissions for folder or installing additional scripts ? How did you install the RetroPie image ?

@mitu No I bought the Rasperry Pie had the retro pie already installed. I only added 5 PSX games and tried to scrape the info on the games metadata. That is all I have done. Is this fixable without losing my games?

We don't support 3rd party images - especially the ones coming with pre-loaded ROMs. This is made clear in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first; furthermore the RetroPie license prohibits commercial use so the person that sold you the kit is a scammer.
Please use the image provided by the RetroPie project from retropie.org.uk/download if you'd like to offer your support.

@mitu Ok. I’m sorry I did not know that. I will download the image off your site and gladly provide support. By downloading the image will it erase what I have put on the retro pi?

Once you flash the official image to your card, it will erase everything prior, leaving you with a clean system.
