      Hello everybody.
      In the retropie menu before I did something I don't know there were item descriptions.
      Now the descriptions have disappeared.
      Do you know how to solve this problem? how do i get the descriptions to appear?
      I tried to change themes but the same thing always happens.

        re-install retropiemenupackage from core packages. the gamelist must have been removed perhaps or corrupted.

          You have additional items in the list not shipped by default - did you add them ?

              so i have to remove it first and then install it?
              Is something happening to all of my settings?

                  @stefano-sudati Re-install should be fine.

                  it generates a gamelist at /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml that contains the descriptions.
