      I didn’t installed or changed anything. This happened after I filled up the sd card space while I was transferring too many psx games.

      If that helps, when I did update retropiemenu, I did see something flashing quickly. Something about gamelists.xml document is empty.

        Can you get the EmulationStation log file from \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_log.txt and post it on pastebin.com ? It may have an indication for the error.
        For the record, the RetroPie system in EmulationStation should have a gamelist.xml created for it, in \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\gamelists\retropie\ - if that file is empty or incomplete, then it might be a problem.

        Do you have enough free space now ?

          @atomicgarden wow. weird. Can you send us a picture of what you are dealing with?

          Also I recommend installing Easy Hax Toolkit if you don't already have it in your retropie menu. I can walk you through the install if you need help. It has a check Disk Space feature that I use to see how much room I have left on my card. I think it will be just as accurate as what Mitu suggested in Exiting Emulation station. I've never exited the emulation station so I don't know. Lol

          EDIT. (Just checked and yes both numbers are identical). If you exit the Emulation Station you will need a keyboard to type in Reboot or Shutdown to get out of the Command Line.)

          But what I can tell you is be careful when you are in the RPsetup area and installing new things. Avoid trying to hit the back button function (B button) on your controller and manually move over to the selection that says "back" and click on it. You don't know how many times i reinstalled something by accident that I just uninstalled. Haha.

              Can this help ? This is using winSCP to access the files.

              This is from /home/pi/RetroPie/retropiemenu

                That is fine. If you're using WinScp, then find the gamelist.xml file in /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/retropie and see if it's empty.

                  Ok, I just looked there. There is a only one file there. It is indeed gamelist.xml, but it is a size of 0kb. Now what do I do ?

                    Remove the file, then re-install the retropiemenu package, this should re-generate it with the correct information.

                      Did you try selecting Detailed instead of Automatic?

                      Follow Mitu's advice and remember to Restart Emulation station after you updated or installed something, especially if the changes don't go into effect which most won't.

                      (Also if you bought a pre-loaded SD Card it may have come with several already installed themes...my newest card came with about 10 themes, most of which I uninstalled) When you hit Start and select UI Settings you may have chosen one of the installed themes instead of the one it came with. Let me know what themes, you have installed. )
