      Problem:
      New user here...I'm hoping someone here can help me. I was following instructions from a user here in a Saturn thread who advised how to install an experimental Sega Saturn core. After using the file manager to place the 2 files it messed up my RetroPie configuration menu. Now all 14 options in RetroPie Configuration no longer works! All 14 options close quickly after displaying an error message referencing the Sega Saturn file that I installed (see below). I can't get into the file manager again to delete the 1 folder and 2 files that I placed into a specific directory to fix this problem!


      Caused the Problem:
      Immediately prior to this serious issue occurring I added the following:
      lr-yabasanshiro.sh
      lr-yabasanshiro folder containing: 01_shader_hack_rpi4.diff

      Above 2 files + 1 folder was copied into this directory:
      /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/


      System Specs

      Due to this error locking me out of all menu options I can't provide much regarding my system specs. I'm on a Raspberry Pi 4b and the latest (current) version of RetroPie.

      Please help! Thanks in advance.

        Exit EmulationStation and then run mc to start the file manager, which will allow you to delete the file(s) that trigger the error. You'll need a keyboard for this.
