I removed (rm -rf .config/retroarch) retroarch, tried to get it work again but i get the same. When I create manually the folder can’t save the config because the config directory isn’t setted :confused:

Have you tried running retroarch as root (Command sudo retroarch)?

#4

Yeah, do that with all the programs you find a problem. Good luck.

Btw, it was not a file permission issue.
