      @Brandon12345678 said in My ROMS worked before... but now they don’t:

      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.

      how would you get the stock image?

      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 enter mc in 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.

                    @Brandon12345678 Most of the custom content and options should reside in /home/pi/RetroPie and /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.
