      I don't know why, but Retropie re adds previously deleted roms and ports. When said rom is the last one on the list it gives me an error;
      terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std:out_of_range'
      what(): vector::_M_range_check: _n (which is 0) >= this->size() (which is 0)
      Aborted

      I have Drastic and mehstation installed. Minecraft Pi was also installed but has since been uninstalled. It keeps being re added to the list however. It's probably a different issue entirely, but the key board has also stopped working. Instead of displaying designated keys it displays white blocks and up arrows for half the keys, the other half do nothing.

      My setup:
      Pi Model or other hardware: B
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.0
      Built From: Pre made from web site
      USB Devices connected: Keyboard
      Controller used: Xbox one wired, Wii U pro wireless, dell 2002 keyboard.
      Emulator: default snes, nes, gba, gb, psx
      Attachment of config files: I'm on mobile, I can't
      attach or even obtain those files

        You've got a series of issues there, I would be tempted to take one at a time.
        Get a clean image, take one step, i.e install Minecraft - check all is good no oddities happening then move on to the next step.

        Its hard to debug as it stands.

          @Floob I can't get a clean image, I don't have access to a computer and probably won't for a long time. I'm going to try updating a few things, be back in a bit.

            I came up with a temporary fix until I can get a clean image. I don't know what went wrong, but I can manually edit the XML files to get rid of the non existent roms. For now this is the only way I can get pi to recognize roms until I find a way to fix the XML inconsistency.

              @Artemis008 what happens if you try to play the uninstalled game? Being listed in the xml possibly was the only real issue. Your keyboard issue, not sure. Did you change your keyboard type in raspi-config?

                @edmaul69 When I open a non existent game the screen just fades out, then back in. Minecraft gives me a little message "minecraft.sh does not exist" if that means anything. Pi also doesn't add roms to emulation station unless I manually put them in through the XML. The keyboard also started working again, I'm not sure what I did to fix it though. I uninstalled all my experimental packages which included Drastic, meh station, and lib retro n64.

                  @Artemis008 ok. So since you use gamelist.xml's the only issue was it didnt delete from xml. You are all good there. If you uninstall a system in retropie setup, then you hit select while that game is highlighted on the game select screen and edit the game you can just delete it there and it should delete it from the xml
