My ROMS worked before... but now they don’t
-
I have a raspberry pi 4 running the RetroPie OS on 4.6 and all the games on there worked until this morning. After transferring my famicom disk system, vectrex and game and watch ROMS, I rebooted my pi, went into famicom disk system and it worked. I then went into Mario Bros on game and watch and it also worked. But when I exited, I noticed that a lot of my nes games were missing. I turned on show hidden files and rebooted my pi. When it turned back on none of my systems launched games. I don’t know what went wrong. They worked before, but after installing emulators, now they don’t? This has happened before and I reinstalled the os. I do not want to have to reinstall again because I fear that it will just keep happening.

@Brandon12345678 Are you using the official retro pie image?
-
@Unknown Yes I downloaded my image from the RetroPie page. I don’t know why my ROMS stopped working.
-
@Brandon12345678 Usually retro pie has all the emulators it needs. Did you install ones that weren't already on retro pie?
-
@Unknown No I only install lr-vecx and lr-gw
-
@Brandon12345678 Did you download those roms? Sometimes hackers will disguise virus as games. Which would make sense based on the way your pi is acting.

@Unknown Yeah I did but they worked fine until I installed those emulators. Do you think that it might be a storage problem? I have a 32gb as card and most of my game folders take up to 900mb in space.

@Brandon12345678 Are those emulators officially supported by Retro pie?

@Brandon12345678
I don't think it is a storage problem. -
@Unknown Yeah I downloaded them from the setup script. I can try to show you my Runcommand Log if that would help
-
@Brandon12345678 the run command will probably help figure out happened. Go adhead and show it.

@Unknown Ok here is something interesting that happened. When I turned on my pi. I turned it off before with the option parse gamelists only turned on. When I turned it back on right now, the roms worked, but only the ones that were visible.
My runcommand says the following,(==) Log file: "/home/pi/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log", Time: Wed Jun 17 14:31:50 2020
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
modprobe: FATAL: Module g2d_23 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.118-v7l+I would really want to have all the games visible and working, not only some. When the setting is turned on, all game and watch games do not work as well. Hope this helps.

@Brandon12345678 The error says it was not able to find a file it needed to run.
-
@Unknown What file? I didn’t delete any files when installing the emulators.
-
@Brandon12345678 It seems to say that it could not find "Modual g2d_23" in the directory"/lib/moduals/4.19.118-v7l+".

@Brandon12345678 All other websites says that this means nothing and is harmless. Is it a bug in RetroPie 4.6?

@Brandon12345678 said in My ROMS worked before... but now they don’t:
@Brandon12345678 No other website or topic mentions anything like this. Is it a bug in RetroPie 4.6?
I'm not sure if it is a bug. That is a question that the Global monitors would have to answer.
