      I changed the default emulator for some n64 roms to test out playability, and now it won't let me change it to anything else. In a millisecond it says some error at the bottom of the screen and goes right back to the selection menu for the rom. From what I can make out it says sorry cannot open. Can anyone help me? Why is it doing this. Let's me change it once and then doesn't let me after that.

            Try to reboot your raspberry.

            I can't open any runcommand option after booting any N64 rom.

              Just wanted to share, that I had issues where I couldn't change default emulator for a specific rom. It just kept being set to something and wouldn't change.

              Editing the file opt/retropie/configs/all/emulators.cfg showed several lines of corrupt data. Removing these let me change the default emulator again.
