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

              @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.

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

                  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.

                    @hellasius said in GBA roms not starting on Ras Pi Zero W:

                    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 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.

                                  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.
