  Hi all I am running retropie 4.5.1 on top of Lubuntu 18.04.3 and am experiencing system wide crashes after so long. I have tried a few games and 3 different emulators but every time I am 9 mins 43 secs into a game, the screen goes blank, the system freezes and I have to power off to re-boot. The PC is a crappy Lenovo 300 Yoga and I am using a INext SNES type game controller. I installed the pre-built image, following the guide on the retropie website for Ubuntu installs. Any ideas what is wrong? It works absolutely fine up until that point.

  I have installed a Raspberry Pi inside a Playstation Classic shell, and want the open button to cycle through the disc on multi-disc games. I can somewhat do this by setting hotkeys for opening virtual tray, inserting next disc, and closing virtual tray. The "problem" that I than run into, is that when I get to the last disc RetroArch doesn't loop back to the first disc, so if I want to go back to a previous disc, I have to exit RetroArch. Does anybody have an idea how I might get around this?

  I made a Dr. Mario Splash Screen that's 9 seconds long. It can be found here. I used the y2mate to convert it into MP4. Suggestions would be appreciated. I'm new.

  @ParanoidAndroid said in Sega Model 2 Support for Retropie.: by the way it's off topic to the post but is Retro Pie Supported on the Raspi4? Not yet, but it will be in the future.

  https://retropie.org.uk/2019/07/retropie-4-5-1-update/ As detailed in the last post – https://retropie.org.uk/2019/07/composite-out-broken-on-retropie-4-5/ – there were some issues in the last image due to the updated Kernel. A newer Kernel has been released for Raspbian Stretch that resolves the composite output issue, but we also had problems reported with overscan settings and decided to implement a workaround. As the previous 4.14 Kernel was well tested, we decided to switch back to it for now, and also created a new image (this was actually uploaded on the 17th July, but due to some testing and time constraints is only being announced now). If you have a 4.5 version of RetroPie for the Raspberry Pi you can choose the update option in RetroPie-Setup and then choose to “Update System Packages” when prompted. This will downgrade the Kernel to the one in this 4.5.1 image. The Kernel will only be downgraded if choosing to update System Packages from the RetroPie-Setup interface. You can download a 4.5.1 image from https://retropie.org.uk/download/. For first installs please follow the Installation Instructions. We are still working on Raspberry Pi 4 support. You may have seen some unofficial images from other people with some emulators working – but please bear with us. We also have some emulators working, but don’t want to release anything until we are able to realistically support it. Changes since 4.5 Downgraded to 4.14 kernel to resolve some 4.19 kernel/firmware issues (other rpi4/fkms changes which will be announced in a future post)
