      The emulator can be found by pressing a button during launch to access the runcommand menu - https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand

      Please post the contents of /tmp/runcommand.log when launching fails.

      You might want to try the latest image - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2106/4-0-rc1-images-are-available-for-testing

      I renamed a Punch Out rom to the exact name you had that failed and it still loaded - Please give the full filename though - you don't mention if it is a zip or extracted .nes file. (I tried both however)

        Thank you for answering, must be frustrating with people like me who know nothing about this.

        Anyway, I got the log file:

        /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 804: 993 Aborted /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (Japan, USA) (Rev A).zip" --appendconfig /tmp/retroarch.cfg

        I tried changing the emulator as you suggested, nestopia was able to open the rom but then the controller stoped working as a result. I tried to reconfigure the controller but looks like nestopia did not like my snes controller. Edit: The controller will not work in any system now, maybe the install is corrupt or something? It worked before...

          Please edit /opt/retropie/configs/nes/emulators.cfgchanging the line

          lr-fceumm="/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"

          to

          lr-fceumm="/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg %ROM% --verbose"

          and post the output again after launching - also please can you show me it launching when renamed.

          the output will be more - please use markdown to style the log in a codeblock (as I have done). (three backticks around the log - see http://commonmark.org/help/)

            Ok, I changed the line and it works, did not get an error in the runcommand.log this time, and the controller works again too it seems. Show? Like a video?

              The line just outputs more debugging information - it should make no difference to anything else.

              Did you change the emulator back to lr-fceumm ? I suspect not as the log would be full of data with the change above.

                Nope, still using nestopia, I could switch back and try fceumm, one moment.
                Edit, ok, so I switched back to fceumm and checked the log file, here is what come out:

                      I would like the output of the runcommand.log as before with it not loading, and then loading when renamed as you mentioned. You can put the log on pastebin.com or similar.

                      When I said "show me it launching when renamed". I mean show me the log after it has successfully launched when you renamed the rom as you mentioned earlier. Not a video ;-)

                        Ok, so this is with the rom renamed:

                          Just to register a naming convention related issue in RetroPie (actually in emulationstation):

                          Based on RetroArch user requests (this forum, libretro forum) and on a personal taste, I was doing some changes in the RetroArch code for a screenshot naming feature (my Pull Request at RetroArch github)

                          To make my tests I named a ROM with this filename really 'weird' %%ROM%% name%s%y%m.nes.

                          When I try to launch this ROM in emulationstation it "freezes", I'm (almost) pretty sure that it is an emulationstation limitation. How can I know it?

                          1. the runcommand dialog isn't shown;
                          2. the htop command shows only some emulationstation processes for the user pi;
                          3. if I hit ctrl+c it kills emulationstation and goes to the bash prompt;
                          4. if I execute the runcommand from the prompt to load this ROM, RetroArch starts correctly.

                          Command used to start from the prompt:

                          /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ nes ~/RetroPie/roms/nes/really\ \'weird\'\ %%ROM%%\ name%s%y%m.nes

                          Should I register it in the RetroPie's github issues?
                          [EDIT: I think not. It's an emulationstation issue.]

                            Might be related to the fact ES uses %ROM% as a "TAG" which gets replaced, but please open an issue on the RetroPie ES github page and I will look into it at some point.

                              @Ristul sorry for the late reply - I was unable to reproduce your issue on my system, but I noticed your retroarch is not up to date so I can only suggest you update to the latest retropie and see if that resolves it.
