hello @mitu
Hello,
I looked for my emulator it is: emulationstation V2.9.1RP
and I tried the "CARBON" theme but it does the same.
I also have the same problem with N64

How did you install the system ? Did you use the image from retropie.org.uk/download or another image ?

Do you have video previews enabled in EmulationStation ?

EDIT: can you find the \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg file and post its contents here in the topic ?

@mitu 1-yes I downloaded on retropie.org and install with win32diskimager.
2-what do you call video preview ??
3-how do I find the retropie / configs file ... ??
sorry but i am not yet familiar with all this

@shura-3275 How did you copy your ROMs over to the Pi ?
Did you use the file shares method described here ?

If you have a PC (with Windows installed), just open Windows file explorer and type \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\ in the location input. If asked for a user/password, use pi/raspberry. This should open a folder, where you can find the configuration file I asked.

Almost. I'm going to ask you again - what image did you use to install RetroPie ? This doesn't look like a stock image you would download from retropie.org.uk/download.

Somehow I'm not convinced you're running an official RetroPie image.

your system has a custom es_systems.cfg that's doesn't exist by default on a RetroPie stock image. You need to create one manually and copy it to the folder that you just had trouble opening.
if you'd have used the RetroPie image that your screenshots shows, you wouldn't had the login issue from the other topic you opened.

As the https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first states, we don't support 3rd party images.

the image is well downloaded on the site but considering what you tell me I think I know why ....
the roms, bios etc ... come from a friend of which I have copy on my PC and after having downloaded the image I have copy roms, bios ..... on my raspberry via cable rj45.
I also copied her configs, splashcreen. maybe I would only copy roms and bios and not the rest ???,

shura-3275

@mitu is there a way to change something from "configs" or do you think i have to start from the beginning and insert only roms and bios ??

mitu

I suggest you start with a fresh image and add your ROMs/BIOS files, leaving the configurations alone for this first step.
