That's unfortunate. Can you provide the errors that you are getting?

It took me forever, but I got it to reinstall it. Thanks for being there though! Not many creators respond and are ready to help.

what did you do to make it work? I am having a hell of a time with the evdev error

I don't know if this will help, but I plugged in the ethernet cable to my Pi 3B, ran 'sudo apt-get install python3-pip'. After that, I ran 'sudo pip3 install evdev'. Depending on the python version you're using, you may want to run the previous commands without the 3. Let me know if this works, and I can try to help you further if needed.

Ill give that a shot. I have bashed this file about 20 times before making arcade cabinets with just the retropi installed first. Never had to worry about python. So we will see.
