      Hi All

      So I've installed Retropie on my Ubuntu 16.04 laptopa as per https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroPie-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-x86-Flavor
      Everything went well and I have downloaded a couple of games and transferred the games to the appropriate folders and when I go to run them i emulationstation I get a black screen for a few seconds then a view of my desktop with a directory to the log file. then just back to emulationstation.

      I have tried this with Street Fighter II World Warrior for Arcade, Pacman for DOS, Wolfenstein 3D for Dos and Duke Nukem for Dos. The runcommand.log file is as follows;

      Failed to open /home/strik9ine/RetroPie/roms/pcengine/Pacman (1984)(Rowan).srm: No such file or directory
      /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 851: 5424 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-beetle-pce-fast/mednafen_pce_fast_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/pcengine/retroarch.cfg "/home/strik9ine/RetroPie/roms/pcengine/Pacman (1984)(Rowan).zip" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

      I'm new to Linux, any help would be appreciated.
