Lost "RetroPie" Menu Icons

BuZz

On retropie /home/pi/.emulationstation is a symbolic link to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation

All I know is, when I looked at the contents of the gamelist.xml (I think it was the one in "/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml") all it has was like a generic place holder FOR a gamelist. Something like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gameList />

It's all fixed now. :) It has all the stuff that looks like metadata included in it now.

@hansolo77 how?

@BilboIII

Um....

@hansolo77 said in Lost "RetroPie" Menu Icons:

I had to go in through the Setup menus, and uninstall the retropiemenu "core". Then reboot, close out of RetroPie manually using F4, then in the setup menus again I re-installed the retropiemenu "core". Another reboot, and it was back.

BilboIII

@hansolo77 what was the command you used

hansolo77

@BilboIII :) Sorry...

When you have Emulation Station loaded, hit F4 to exit to terminal. Then do this:

cd RetroPie-Setup/
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

That will "change directory" into the RetroPie-Setup subfolder. Then it will "do as a super-user" the script located in that directory called retropie_setup.sh. Hope that helps.

@hansolo77 nope
all I get is "-bash " errors

BilboIII

@BilboIII Nevermind
fixed it you need to do

cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup

thanks man

BilboIII

@BilboIII but the pictures aren't back though

hansolo77

Did you uninstall the RetroPie core, then reboot, then reinstall the core, then reboot?

BilboIII

@hansolo77 yes I did the menu one or is there another one?

hansolo77

It should just be the RetroPie Core that you need to uninstall and reinstall. When you uninstall it, it should remove the "RetroPie" menu item from within Emulation Station after you reboot.

BilboIII

@hansolo77 ok I just did the uninstall retropie

Thanks @hansolo77 and everyone for providing this simple fix to a mildly obnoxious problem.

hansolo77

So you got it back to working? That's awesome!

@hansolo77 Hi, I just face the same problem. Do you mean to uninstall all core packages?

I know this topic is old but I'm having the same problem. I started with Berryboot and installed raspbian and retropie (3.6 i think.) I didn't notice if it had the menu icons with that but I updated it to 4.3 so it would be the newest verision. Now I notice I don't have the menu art and would like to have it back. I have tried the above steps with no luck. Well I did get one back and that was the retropie setup pic. the rest are still blank.

I fixed the issue by resetting my RetroPie gamelist to the default settings.

Open /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/
Replace gamelist.xml with these preset settings
Restart EmulationStation

Your icons should hopefully return with full descriptions.
