      I have chosen the comikbook Theme and after that my Emulation Station crashed with the following error text:

      4320106e-0d62-49a8-9a0f-7ed6a9071219.jpg

      The Error has reappeared after the system was rebooted.
      Is there any way I can select another Theme with the console so I can start my Retropie again?

        You can edit the configuration file ($HOME/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg) and change the theme set back to carbon (the default theme).

          @mitu Thx
          Do u also have any Idea why the emulator is crashing when I am choosing this Theme because other Themes work like graffitti or magazine madness.

            Could be it needs more video RAM (VRAM) or your version of EmulationStation doesn't support it. What Pi model do you have ? Add the details requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and we'll know more.

                Did you have this limit before or did you add it after the error ? 1Gb is too much, you can increase it at 200Mb and retry.

                  I have tried it with the lowest setting of vram limit and then went up to the 1gb just to test it out if it is the problem.
                  And i have tried 200 right now and it also crashes.

                    Can you run a full update of your packages - just to make sure you have the latest EmulationStation ?

                      Done and I also updated the Comicbook Theme but still crashes
                      At this point I think I just have to let go of this Theme :)
