    Installed Retropie 3.4 on a Pi 3 B and am having issues with the Emulation Station. After scrolling through games or systems for a bit, the screen acts funky. I'll get artifacts in the menu, sometime screen goes white except for the rom list or it even goes off center where the list is down in the bottom left corner and unable to read it.

    I have to reboot or restart Emulation Station to fix it but comes tight back after a bit. I've tried many different themes and such, even stock one but still get the problem.

      @osiviper Why are you installing 3.4 when 4.2 is available? All of those issues you describe are fixed in the latest version.

          @osiviper Is your VRAM limit in the menu set to 100?

            Lower it to 80, though... What theme are you using? Did you change the memory split?

              Have tried many different themes including stock. And have not changed memory split.

                @osiviper lower VRAM to 80. Don't change the memory split, make sure it's at 256 .

                    @pjft that seemed to fix it. At least so far. Played for a while last night with no issue
