@mitu You will certainly ask, so here is my config.txt
https://pastebin.com/wtfbHigD
I change it to be woring with my piTft 2.2 from adafruit, but I might have delete a importante line.

@hellasius Does it work if you remove the overclock ? The log file has some errors regarding audio, I'm not sure they're the cause of the crash.

Hellasius

@mitu I tried to remove the firt part of the config.txt
did no change anything. https://pastebin.com/n9QY7FfZ

@hellasius Can you try a different ROM ? Are you sure the ROM(s) that fails is ok ?

Hellasius

@mitu I tried different ROMs,
pokemon red fire frensh or english, golden sun, sims 2 are not working.
but Mario and zelda minish cap are working fine.

I am not 100% sure but ROMs are from dfferent website.
I don't think is come from the ROM. But I will try other one to be sure.

mitu

@hellasius Try to enable the verbose logging in the Runcommand menu, maybe the log would be more detailed. Does your sound work ?

Hellasius

I tried with another ROM for pokemon ruby and I have the same issue.
I run the ROM with verbose command, same. Where can I find the error file? that I can share it with you.
I do not have a daptater for mi Pi zero to try the sound., I don't know if it's working.

Where can I find the error file?

Same file as before - /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

@hellasius Do you see text like 1679/ -/ Pokemon/ Rouge/ Feu/ (F)(Rising Sun).gba in the grey box if you start your ROM?

Look at the slashes /

Hellasius

@cyperghost No there is no /

@hellasius Okay thank you! That was my problem for round about one year or so :)

mitu

@hellasius The log file doesn't seem to report any errors, but have you tried to see if the ROM is ok ? Load it in another emulator - on a PC maybe ? - to see if it works.

Hellasius

@mitu I quicklly tried to run my ROMs on PC emulator, but none are working (not pokemon and not zelda, that was supposed to work)...
I am lost...

Hellasius

Roms are all working on my PC.
I realize it was just a issue during the transfert of the rom to my raspberry, now it should work.... but actually my raspberry pi seems not to respond to my SD card.
I tried to reboot on the new retropie IMG, and nothing. Green led blink twice, then nothing.... when I try the same SD card on another pi It's working.

If you have any advice for this issue, that would be great.
You already helped me a lot. Thank you.
