      @mitu my snes 30 is detected as a Xbox controller I don't really know why it does that. I haven't downloaded the Xbox driver but I can try... As I said yesterday the Pi immediately crashed when booting up the system. And indeed there is no error message that's why I am totally lost... I have tried to change the theme back to carbon to no avail unfortunately

        How are you trying to do that, exactly ? Changing it from the EmulationStation menu and then rebooting cleanly should save the configuration (w.r.t. the theme selected) and EmulationStation should start with the new chosen theme automatically.

          @mitu that's what I am doing. I have reverted back to Carbon through this method but it doesn't fix the crashes at boot

            Well, yes - I don't think ES would crash because of that.

            Can you run the following command after it crashes on boot, but before you reboot the Pi, and post the output:

            /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation --debug

              @mitu it says No such file or directory when I type this command line

                @Skum1988 Make sure you properly type the path to emulationstation, it should be there. Did you install the emulationstation-dev packagee ? If so, then the path is slightly different (/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation-dev/emulationstation instead).
