      Hi everyone,

      Earlier today I was trying to get openbor setup on my pi. With a few script commands, it seems that I have done something to compromise my entire retropie setup.

      At this time, I can not run any existing script on my pi whatsoever including audio, bluetooth, retropiesetup, retroarch, etc.

      Interesting enough, a rom still starts up and plays correctly. It seems to be a problem limited to anything that I try to activate in the options menu.

      I get an error like this, regardless of what script I try to run:

      Module /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh is missing valid rp_module_id

      Module /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh is missing valid rp_module_desc


      Is there a way to resolve this without having to do a complete reinstall?

      Thanks in advance!

        Discovered a fix for anyone who experiences the same problem:

        //to clean update script

        cd RetroPie-Setup

        cd origin/master

        git pull

        git clean -d -f

        git reset —hard origin/master

        // should be cleaned up now and script should update on next check

        sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

        if it doesn't work for some reason

        login:pi
        password:raspberry

        Thanks!

          It looks like you created this file incorrectly - this file is not part of RetroPie - attempting to install another version of openbor. Deleting the file would have fixed the problem.
