      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 ;-)

          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.
