My ROMS worked before... but now they don’t
-
@Brandon12345678 Your log file shows the X.org log file, which suggests the launch command is start Xwindows - this is not how the RetroPie default image is configured.
You're using a customized/3rd party image. I suggest, as others already did, to start from a stock image and you'll probably not have this issue. -
@mitu how would you get the stock image?
-
@Brandon12345678 If it was a legit image, could this problem be a bug in rpi4 RetroPie since the rpi4 version is a beta right now.

That's a moot question, since you're not using a stock image. It's not a 'bug' though.

From retropie.org.uk/download.
-
@mitu That is how I installed RetroPie this time. I downloaded my image from there.
-
@Brandon12345678 Then why did you install the Pixel desktop? Maybe you should start again with a fresh official image and don't install Pixel.
If you wanted a desktop in your RetroPie installation for more convenience in managing and editing files etc., there are other ways to make your life (a little) easier, e.g. the terminal-based file manager
mc. Just entermcin the terminal to run it. -
@Clyde Ok thanks. I wanted to have a desktop, but have it boot into a terminal.
-
@Brandon12345678 How can I save as much of my RetroPie data like configs and ROMS to put them back on there when I reset?
-
@Brandon12345678 the same way you got them on your stock image, just in reverse-mode.
-
@sirhenrythe5th Ok thanks
-
@Brandon12345678 Most of the custom content and options should reside in
/home/pi/RetroPieand/opt/retropie/configs. That said, I would caution against copying all of it back to a new image in one go, but only step by step what you really need. Lest you copy any messed-up stuff on the fresh installation. -
@Clyde Ok.
-
@Brandon12345678 It works now. Thanks for your help.
