        Maybe you mis-spelled the error and it's actually:

        retropie_packages.sh: line 900:
        Module
        is missing valid rp_nodule_id
        Module
        is missing valid rp_module_desc
        mod_idx: bad array subscript
        

        You added a file that's not part of RetroPie-Setup and it's not compatible with the RetroPie version you're using - this is what the error says, basically.
        Run the following command from the terminal:

        cd RetroPie-Setup
        git status
        

        and post the output.

              Sort of, I can see you have lots of modified/added files which indicate a heavily customized installation. Did you install the extra ports/emulators yourself or used a pre-made image ?

              how can i re-ad them if it's what I'm needing?

              Not sure I understand - to re-add what, exactly ?

                I added the FollyMaddy Retropie-Share to it which has a lot of emus
                all when fine till it had another retropie extras of sorts ( Inside the FollyMaddy) went to install it, that and got booted out of set up sadly

                    It's not complaining about missing files, but missing lines. As I said before

                    You added a file that's not part of RetroPie-Setup and it's not compatible with the RetroPie version you're using - this is what the error says, basically.

                    hoping this can be fixed

                    Maybe, which image did you use for the initial installation ?

                      @mitu my own we built this from a base install past 2 plus years

                      and thank you for your help!
                      once fixed I'm backing this up

                        I was actually interested by the RetroPie version used for the installation, but 2 years seems recent enough. The easiest way to recover your RetroPie-Setup installation is to rename the folder and pull the latest version. Run, from the terminal command prompt:

                        cd $HOME
                        mv RetroPie-Setup RetroPie-Setup.saved
                        git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/
                        

                        You can then proceed and add back @Folly 's extra repository. The issue you have is probably from installing @zerojay's extras repository, which I don't think it's compatible with RetroPie current. You can try out @ExarKunIv 's extras repo (https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/), which is compatible with RetroPie's current version and contains most of the scripts from @zerojay's older repo.
