I searched around for this but couldn’t find anything, so I figured I’d make an account and ask.

I’m running the most recent version of 2.2

Basically any time I try to scrape metadata I’m met with the following error upon choosing the game in the scraper:

“lvl0: Could not find <gameList< node in gamelist “/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/emulatorname/gamelist.xml”

and it will list that error for every emulator with “emulatorname” replaced with the name of the emu.

I looked in the directory and noticed gamelist.xml is empty for every single one. I also saw that the directory pi has 777 to everything EXCEPT the gamelist.xml files. So I tried giving the account 777, but that didn’t fix anything.
So I made a backup of the whole folder, and tried just deleting the xml files to see if retropie would regenerate them, it didn’t. So I restored them and I’m back to square one. Any ideas?

Here’s an image of the error:

The keyboard also stops working at this point.
