</div>

You could download it here [https://github.com/clockworkpi/launcher/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/clockworkpi/launcher/archive/master.zip) as a zip file, then extract it and navigate through **\launcher-master\Menu\GameShell** you can find the settings folder there

How did you put it there? WinSCP for example? Check the owner of the folder, it should be **cpi**

I used filezilla, it always worked without a problem, i just inserted the settings folder in the gameshell where there was alot of folders(retroarch, cave story, etc.)

use chown to change the owner of the folder, the thing is when you download it on your desktop it gets that ownership, and you need to change to cpi, try this:

> sudo chown -R cpi Launcher\Menu\GameShell\10\_Settings

Worst case scenario, you can just delete the folder and should be back to how it was

Owner should be cpi.

Can you show me the output of this command?

`ls -l ~/launcher/Menu/GameShell/`
