      Add some details about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      Edit: btw i have another error mostly when loading games that says "Under-voltage detected!" maybe have some relationship with that other bug

      That is not a bug, it's the system telling you your power source is not adequate and it's not providing enough power. Use a proper power source, otherwise you're going to have another set of issues.

      Exit EmulationStation and then run sudo shutdown -h now - is the system powering down properly ?

          I have been seeing some kernel panics when shutting down myself but I shutdown so very rarely that I'm not sure if it's still happening or not myself.

          Is that what you're seeing?

              Try to get a proper power supply and get rid of the under-voltage warning first. Funny things happen when the power source is not working correctly.

                A kernel panic means that Linux itself crashed and it cannot continue. You'll know you hit one if you see the words "kernel panic" near the bottom of the screen while shutting down. For me, I've been getting it to happen whenever I issue the shutdown command. It's more of a simple annoyance than something I'm really worried about as when it crashes, everything's already safely unmounted.

                I second mitu's advice though - try to fix your power supply issue and you may find it could potentially fix this as well.

                    @mitu i will research a power supply, the guy when i buy my RPI sells me that powersupply saying that is the proper one.
                    And the voltage warning only happears lately.
                    Thanks!

                      @mitu Ok i have done some research (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/power/README.md) and my power supply should be enough but somehow is dropping bellow 4.6V. The proper one is 5.1V inseat of 5V btw i thing that is the problem

                        @mitu Thanks a lot for the help u gave me, i still doesnt buy the Power Supply but i switch for other one that is equal but is giving to the pi at least 4.7v, and the problem for now have completetly gone (so as soon as i can i will buy the proper one). btw i never have good results with N64 games and the lack of voltage probably is the problem and i was completetly unaware of it, so thanks one more time!

                          @zefolhadela Nintendo 64 is hit and miss on a Pi 3. A proper power supply might help somewhat, but really picking the right emulators for each game will be the way forward if you want to increase performance.
