        @gizpunk have you considered putting the kid up for adoption :)
        Just kidding. You may need to post some pics of your configs for the experts to see what has changed

              @gizpunk no worries. Welcome to Retropie fella. Not sure. Whichever screen your kid went to I guess if you can remember. It's probably something really simple like an extra letter has been added somewhere. Also it would have had to be saved for anything to take effect

                Can this be fixed.

                Probably. A verbose log from runcommand, (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#launch-with-verbose-logging) and the ES logs from ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt and es_log.txt.bak (from the network share: configs\all\emulationstation\es_log.txt and es_log.txt.bak) would be the place to start. Upload the logs to pastebin.com and share the links here.
