Hi,

Every time I update the retropie script to allow retroarch autoconfig, my gameboy advance emulator and roms stop working. They were fine before. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could solve this?

I’m not sure why that is happening, the GBA emulator isn’t configured via Retroarch. Try backing up your es_systems.cfg and gpsp.cfg before running the auto config and then restore afterwards

How do I do this, just copy to my computer, run auto config and then copy it back across?
Sorry, complete newbie

Thanks for the reply

yes copy them off with a ftp client, I use Filezilla. When you say stop working, you can’t run the emulator at all?

When I click the rom, it starts running code, but after a few seconds it blacks out and returns to the rom menu

I use cyberduck at the moment, so I will give it a try

if you press f4 after attempting to run the emulator what errors do you see?

Before I copied the old gpsp file over I got

“/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi/gpsp: No such file of directory”

But now that I have copied over the version of the emulator when it worked, I get

“/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi/gpsp: Permission denied”

That’s the only part that causes error

try reinstalling GPSP via the setup script, it’s in ‘source based installation’

No, that hasn’t worked. This the the code I get now:
```
performance
 powering on HDMI with explicit settings (CEA mode 4)
 /home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 32:   /home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi/gpsp: No such file or directory
 Powering on HDMI with preferred settings
 ondemand
```
That’s it

Have you tried to start the emulator from command line? It seems the runcommand script doesn’t find the path/binary that you are trying to execute.
You can start the emulator from commandline with:
/home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi/gpsp

See if theres something in that specific folder with:
ls -l /home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/gpsp

When I try to see if there is something in the folder it comes up with:

ls: cannot access /home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/gpsp: No such file or directory

When I try to run the emulator from command line:

-bash: /home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/gpsp/raspberrypi/gpsp: No such file or directory

Thanks for the reply though

EDIT: the gpsp emulator had been deleted, so I copied it back across. Now, it says permission denied instead of no such file or directory when I try to run from command line, but when I try to see if there is anything in it it says
