      @mitu haha yeah it’s possible I did it incorrectly. Found the runcommand.sh file in RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/runcommand

        The runcommand package needs to be re-installed after you add those modifications, since the file you modified is the repository version, not the one used to launch games.
        The diff was mostly as a reference for @psyke83, but if you want to try them out, you should reinstall the runcommand package from the RetroPie-Setup script (without updating) and see if it fixes the issue with runcommand. After that you should revert the changes you've done, otherwise you'll not be able to update because of the local modifications you made to the repository.

          That did it! Options restored and working! Thanks again for your expertise and patience. So I need to revert my changes and reinstall before the next update?

            You need to revert the changes, but not reinstall, since this would get you the runcommand version that has the issue you reported. The same would happen if you're doing an update. At some point we'll add a fix for this issue, so you'll be able to update normally.
