    Afternoon all,
    i am having a problem with retropie, after loading some games and it being on for 1hr approx when trying to load games after that i get the error message:
    fork() cannot allocate memory
    and it will then go back to the game selection screen. Is this a cache issue? if so is there a way of clearing it automatically on game exit?
    as atm i can't even shut down retropie or go into any settings once it starts doing the memory error.

    i am using the following:
    raspberry pi 3b
    official power supply
    NESPi case
    256gb SanDisk sd card (8.6gb free)
    retropie version 4.4.4

    cheers

    Danny
