      I never was using 3rd party image

      Ah, good to know.

      There are loads of youtubers testing out what the new pi can do having the same problems as me

      I'm sure that's the case. It's just that you're the first to report it here, so all the routine questions fall to you. Posting the error from the log is a step in the right direction. Someone more familiar with the software may be able to identify the issue more easily.

        I get the same issue. Launches once and never again:-

        Pi 3B+, 4.3.15 "Stretch" image (from this site)

        Segmentation Fault

        Contents of /dev/shm/runcommand.log:-

        Parameters:

        Line 423 is the closure of the "if" statement, i.e "fi":-

        I need to go to work now!

          Thanks mate for posting, they may now get it sorted, as I be thinking most that updated to the new pi is for n64 upgrade without the need for a overclock and fan

            I am busy rebuilding binaries for the new release (and a few other tasks), but will look into this once that is done.

            It's worth rebuilding mupen64plus from source to see if that makes a difference.

              I noted the source installer does not work, says missing file on server, so I be thinking that may be what up, got no idea what I am doing, sorry, but I note on the upgrade page it says to update using source, so if this as not got one you think that be the problem, just to be clear this is a new installer using your image, before you ask I.e. not an upgrade)

              If installing from source doesn't work it means your RetroPie-Setup is out of date - you should update the script first - there was a recent fix for a build issue due to directory name changes in the upstream code.

                Ok, I will look, into that, please note it works after a image upgrade, just update some other image, so it works on the new pi and n64 works 100%

                  @j2001m What image upgrade ? Note I am not interested in hearing anything more about 3rd party images.

                  if you mean it works after doing update all packages, then that's good and it means the bug is already fixed (There was a bugfix applied recently that may have been done after I last built new images).

                      Also worked on your own image, I will get back to you. When I have updated your beta image, can I ask when you got an update to the image will the old iamge upgrade?

                        I don't understand what you mean.

                        RetroPie is constantly updating - we release images every now and again, but you can update at any time. I don't release a new image for every bugfix - there is a new image coming soon though.

                          It would be a good idea to remove that link above to the 3rd party image.....
