  This thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22392/lr-atari800-5200-artifacting-basic-and-other-guidance and the accompanying github repo with the script (https://github.com/raphkoster/lr-atari800-runcommand-onstart) maybe qualify?

  @Tango said in Sorting out RetroArch, Libretro, Mame, Versions, and Configuration files: If I just downloaded RetroPie a few weeks ago, how did I end up with an older version of RetroArch? Are the downloadable images behind development? Can I update them easily with apt? RetroPie is constanly updated - you can update your packages and RetroPie without writing a new image - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/. RGUI - the RetroArch menu interface, the one you've opened by pressing 'Hokey + X' and appearing in the screenshots. I tried RGUI from the command line, but I get "-bash: RGUI: command not found" and when I try it in lower case, I get the same thing. Please re-read what I've said in the previous topic - RGUI is not a command, but the RetroArch menu which you have already opened and it's shown in the screenshots you posted.

  @smilker @mitu gave you solid information. I have a few inklings of the issue some simple some not so much but it’s hard to really say without more details. Where are your encoder boards plugged into on the pi? There Are assigned ports for them. 1,2 3,4 I believe. I’m not 100-% sure at the moment. Try changing your player 2 USB port on the pi until it works.

  For me it only happens, if "TRANSITION STYLE" is set to "FADE" in emulationstation. Perhaps someone may help this.

  @sirhenrythe5th Hi I just tried it and unfortunately it did not work. I think I will need to map the F12 key to a button on the controller and add it to all games Regards Jimi

  @Tango said in Quitting a stuck EmulationStation or calling up the console: On other Linux systems, I can press CTRL-ALT-F1 and that drops me out of X (which stays active in the background) and gives me a console to work on. I try that with EmulationStation and it doesn't work. Is it supposed to? Yes, it's normal. The main reason I'm asking is that I'm finding that sometimes I run into an issue with EmulationStation, like the time I accidentally ended up configuring inputs when I didn't want to. I've had ES freeze on me. (One time I was using the RGUI to edit retroarch.cfg.) So if I'm in EmulationStation, or editing a config file by going through ES's menus to get to that point, and ES stops working or behaving like I need, how can I exit it and get to a console without rebooting? Press F4 on the keyboard, it should exit cleanly leaving a login console open.

  @mitu said in Load NON-PC rom with a script?: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-snes9x/snes9x_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroar I'm pretty sure that's all I was looking for. I didn't realize it was in the emulators.cfg file unless you said that before and I missed it. That should just about do it. Thanks again. I'll try doing what I need to do and if I run into any issues, I'll let you know here. — CB

  The crash is somehow related to the SMP processing in advmame. If misc_smp is set to no in the advmame.rc file, the crash doesn't occur. As a workaround, you can try this setting for now.

  @Thorr69 Hi, thanks for the suggestion - but would that not also hide it for all my 'systems', not just the Retropie menu?
