Please fill out the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Did you copy the error (error saving gamelist.xml to ""/home/pi/Retropie/Roms/arcade/gamelist.xml"" (for system arcade)!) from the log as is or you just transcribed it as you've seen it ?

@mitu hi many thanks for your time, I have followed the step you tell me,but found no info about my problem, I have searched for 2 days but no lucky..
On log I not have registered this error I have opened the log file too, but it doesn't appear, I see only when reboot em's or shutdown the system...

Many thanks for your time

Just an observation here, why is Roms CaPiTaL R?
And Not roms...

Hence my previous question. Either a bad edit of es_systems.cfg or a typing error. Neither would be present on a new installation though.

We don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones loaded with ROMs. This is clearly specified in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Either ask for support from the author(s) of the 128Gb image you used or - if you wish to get support here - use the RetroPie image from https://retropie.org.uk/download/.

Hoo yes, understand the problem is that everything has always worked since 2009 until a few days ago that I had to flash again .. I'm switching to a mini pc everything is easier and faster, I have people with disabilities at home and at the time I chose retropie for ease of use but now I don't understand why it started giving problems ....
can't you give me some advice?

Anyway thank you, a lot for your time ..have a nice day

Yes, use the image from https://retropie.org.uk/download/, it should work without the issue(s) you're describing.

djrino

No time to do all from scratch
anyway I found the solution Thanks
