All of these labels were accidental…

I'm seeing a similar error, but not exactly the same:

Flatpak based Cartridges and RetroArch.

The error (in my case at least) probably lies in the RetroArch playlist files.

To fix it temporatily you can:

  1. Go to the RetroArch playlist files located in ~/.config/retroarch/playlists/
  2. Open the playlists files and delete all characters located between the second pair of quotation marks. "base_content_directory": "[HERE ]",
  3. Save the files, restart cartridges and import the games.
