      Every one of my roms is the same exact size and they are all .exe

      Im assuming they are all bad and I will have to redownload from a different source. If I have not ran any of the .exes Is the pc safe that has downloaded them?

        Do you have an antivirus program running ? If you haven't run them, you'll probably be ok - just delete the .exe files.

          No antivirus whatsoever

          No windows protection either

                Seems a little odd considering this how place is about retro gaming and kind of revolves around roms, why is this?

                    I got my games to work! I found real roms, but my other problem is the menus, when I go to configuration settings and click on any setting, it takes me to a black screen and I have to restart the pi

                        By configuration settings, you mean the items in the RetroPie system, or when you start RetroPie-Setup from the RetroPie menu ? Which settings are you trying to change ?

                          Do you have a 4k display ? Try setting the resolution to 1080p using the Raspi-Config utility in the RetroPie system.
