      Pi Model: 3B
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.7.1
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website

      I'm not able to play any psp game in the retropie. I tried both emulators: ppsspp standalone and lr-ppsspp and all of them the sound works normally but a black screen is displayed.
      all the games I tried are compatible and i'm running roms from usb stick.

                Screen tearing has actually been persistent (albeit only occasionally) in my case since day 1, including PSP, SNES or GBA. Have you checked out the post below? I found it to be pretty useful despite introducing a little side effect of not being able to use hardware-accelerated OMXplayer in EmulationStation.
