      @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.
