      I am using Retropie 4.3 on my Raspberry Pi 3.

      Everything runs smooth except when it comes to launching a game. Already tried with 3 different games, 2 different emulated platforms. Steps to reproduce:
      1- View available games gallery (this works fine)
      2- Select and start game
      In one game, blank screen appears and some buzz noise plays continuously. Nothing else.
      In the other two, just blank screen.

      I viewed runcommand.log and there is nothing suspicious there.

      Any hints?

      Thanks in advance!
