Please post the exact output of the command. If you're using a SSH session, just copy and paste the output.

Can you please show me what your talking about so I will have a better understand?

[mitu]

@pisces3988 Execute the command I've posted, then post the result. For instance:

ls: cannot access '/home/pi/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/': No such file or directory

@mitu

Do I delete this command right here

To type the one you just posted?

[mitu]

@pisces3988 No, just type the command at the command prompt, after you log in to your Pi via SSH (or by exiting EmulationStation).

@mitu

I typed the command but all I get is a blackscreen then it just loads the game I select why is that???

[mitu]

@pisces3988 What command have you typed ? The ls command just lists files, it doesn't start anything.

[PISCES3988]

@mitu

I typed the command that you showed me, was that the one I was supposed to type.

[mitu]

Exit EmulationStation right after you boot your Pi (press F4) and then type the command at the command prompt. I think you're just adding the ls command to the onstart script, which is not what I asked.

[PISCES3988]

@mitu

I exited emulationstation like you told me then I tried to type the command and all I get
is command not found.

This is what I typed

pipie4:~ $ ls $HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/

I hit enter after the first command and all I get is command not found???
