      Hello all, when I reboot my system i get an error on the screen on the first ROM boot. It still runs ok but just wondering if I can get rid of it:
      Error finding/creating fileData for "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/fbneo", skipping.
      I've looked in the folder but can't figure it out, any help would be appreciated!

        Looks like an issue with your gamelist - did you scrape the arcade system with an external scraper ? Can you add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

          I'm running on a raspberry pi 4B
          Version 4.7.7
          With an image from official site

          I used skyscraper to scrape roms

          Thanks for the reply :)

            Are the permissions on the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/fbneo folder ok ? Can you run

            ls -ld /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/fbneo
            

            and post the output ?

                The permissions look fine. The message is from EmulationStation, not from running a game. You only see it when EmulationStation goes into the background at the time a game is launched.

                Normally this message is logged when EmulationStation encounters a folder when it expects a file, but I've only seen it associated with the Daphne system. It doesn't affect gameplay.
