      For some reason on my new install of 3.8.1 all the items under the Ports menu come up with Permission denied. What should I do?

        You got the error if you launch a .sh-file?
        Edit es_systems.cfg with sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and search for the PORTS Section
        There you will find <command> section
        simply add bash so it looks <command>bash

        It happens if you use FAT filesystems for storing games on a USB-stick

        If not then check owner and permissions in roms.... owner is user pi
