      I have all the bios files in place. They are linked in the config file. But every 5200 game I load has a brief black screen and go back to emulation station. Running on Pi3. I already unistall the core, deleted all the configs, installed the core again and got the same problem. Thks.

        What game are you trying to run ? What kind of system are you running - PI/PC/etc. ?

          And did you set your config file properly for 5200 games as directed in the docs? 5200 mode requires a little work.

            Finally I got it.

            Any other game had failed to load, going back to emulation screen. Except Ballblazer, that also loaded in black screen, but not crashed back to ES.

            So I was able to select+X and after various tests change the screen mode from NTSC to PAL. Not sure where in the configurations files this changed. But now all games are working.

              @Spectreman That's a little odd, since Ballblazer is probably an NTSC game!

                Just wanted to chime in here and say that I had this same exact problem, and this same exact solution fixed it for me. And the weird thing is that I definitely had 5200 stuff working previously. This problem only just started happening for me. Very weird.
