        @shavecat said in HELP retropie games roms going back to emulationstation sometimes ...:

        https://pastebin.com/bmxRu58W

        arm_freq=2000
        gpu_freq=750
        over_voltage=6
        temp_limit=70
        temp_soft_limit=70
        disable_splash=1
        

        remove all overclocks, try again.

              @shavecat if it works without the overclock then it's an unstable overclock. you can't go this high. not all pis can cope with such overclocks
