      Pi Model or other hardware: P 4 4G
      Power Supply used: Canakit
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.17.20
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected:
      Controller used: f310 gamepad
      Error messages received: It looks like your systems Configuration file has not been setup or is invalid
      Verbose log (if relevant):
      Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide)
      File: (File with issue - with FULL path)
      Emulator: (Name of emulator - if applicable)
      Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS)
      How to replicate the problem:

      I will start off saying first; this is not a 3rd party image and I am an idiot. I was playing around in the ETC folder for emulation station to add a system. I made a small tweak to the ES_systems config and BAM. Is there anyway to fix this without backing up? I have a back up but I made so many tweaks to the system. I now know you can add a system of your choice by other means without doing it this way. Cheers.

        Post your es_systems.cfg file, you probably have made error while editing and it's not a correct xml file, hence the error. Use pastebin.com to post its contents.

            Press F4 to exit EmulationStation and you have access to the command line or just use SSH to access your Pi.

              @mitu Here it is. Thanks for the help. I really hope I can get this fixed. Not sure how to attach the file from pastebin.com. The only change I recall making is openbor system. EDIT**** I think I figured it out.... <fullname/> needs to be </fullname>!!

                @refazeshot1 said in Retropie Crash:

                Not sure how to attach the file from pastebin.com.

                You just copy the text in the large text field labeled New Paste ,press Create new Paste and provide the URL.

                I think I figured it out.... <fullname/> needs to be </fullname>!!

                Yes, at line 236 230 there's an incorrect closed tag:

                The element type "fullname" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</fullname>".

                  @mitu I gave myself permission to change the file. I made the correction but it still boots up with this error. I am just editing the config file through SH using file zilla. Would you happen to know how to run the retropie file manager through the terminal?
