I had a the problem with my BIOS and ROMS not showing up after copying them over. Heck, I even had a problem where the config.txt on the Retropie's boot volume was 0kb in size and was completely blank. Some weird phenomenon going on with Retropie.

@Nikorasu081 That's usually an indication that your SD card is corrupted, as the first reply to your topic suggested.

@mitu My SD card isn't corrupted, that's the thing. If my SD card was corrupted I would know, and of course I wouldn't be using Retropie on it either.

@mitu
Pi Model : 3 B+

@mitu I forget to mention that I had a similar problem with the PlayStation 1 emulator a few days ago. The cue files kept getting erased but the game files were fine, but they also wouldn't start. I ended up having to unpack them to get them into the correct bin format. Once that was done the cue files fix themselves and now it's working fine. so somewhat similar to the GBA fix, once I found the problem the deleted files fix themselves. Without me having to reinstall them at all. I don't know much about emulation or retropie, so I was hoping someone with a little more experience could help me fix this.

What happens if you fill the mSD card to near capacity? A fake mSD card that isn't the actual capacity that it claims to be will behave this way.

This problem has nothing to do with emulation or RetroPie and it's not something that comes up often. When it does, it's usually SD card corruption.

@mitu I thought it maybe a fake SD card as well with a lower amount of storage than I thought. But I've been installing a lot of more PlayStation 1 games and those are all working fine.
