      In ES UI settings menu, when I scroll down & press this "BACK" button, ES quits to "command line" & PI hangs.
      It doesn´t take any keystrokes even from keyboard. Only way pout trough power off. SSH have not tried, if live those cases.

      Pi Model or other hardware: Pi3
      Power Supply used: (If using a Pi) 2A
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.4
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected:
      Controller used: Zero delay USB arcade, Diy mouse trackball, Diy mouse spinner, standard keyboard

        @mha You have probably assigned the wrong functionality to your controller so you are quitting ES as opposed to what you think you are doing. Also you are not using the correct power supply. You need 2.5A at least with all those add-ons for reliable operation.

            No help,
            I did reconf my controllers.

            Here is where I try to exit pushing back & where do I end.
            And as said, keyboard not responding after the malfunction.![alt text](0_1537432201664_IMG_20180920_112357.jpg image url)0_1537432214016_IMG_20180920_112426.jpg

              Looks like a problem with either one of your gamelist or the configuration file format. Can you paste your ES configuration file (/home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg) here in the topic and upload the ES log file (/home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt) to pastebin.com to take a look ?

                  Both files seem ok, so I think the problem is somewhere else. Can you try and change the theme and see if you get the same error ?

                    @mitu I have tried Pixel, gbr35 and default. The same results.
                    Also did a reinstall for ES, binary. No help :)

                    On my first picture You can see a command line message "Assertion (something) ==1 FAILED...."
                    I don´t know if this is a clue?

                      @mha said in Pi3 hangs, when exiting ES UI menu:

                      I don´t know if this is a clue?

                      In the configuration file you have

                       <string name="StartupSystem" value="mame-libretro" />
                      

                      but your screenshot of options shows nothing in the Start on System value. Did you had at some point the mame-libretro folder set as starting system, but now that folder is empty ? Try changing the value for the Start on System (clear the value) and see if this fixes the problem.

                        @mitu Right,
                        my roms used to be in Mame & Advmame folders, but changed everything to Arcade one.
                        Will try this!
