Issue launching ROMs
-
Hello,
Little backstory, I have a PS Classic that I Modded to run AutoBleem with RetroArch and thought I could just copy the ROMS from the USB in to RetroPie and run them.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4B, using a 5V USB-C powersupply, running version 4.7.1, RetroPie is built on top of Raspbian.
USB devices used are wireless mouse, usb keyboard, PS4 controller, a SanDisk 128GB usb containing AutoBleem.
So I copied the ROMS over and RetroPie is able to see most games, with the exception of Dreamcast. When I attempt to launch Alien Storm for the Genesis, 3D Tic Tac Toe for the Atari 2600, Magical Drop for the NeoGeo, the screen goes black, goes back to the desktop, then goes black again before returning to Retropie. There is no visible error message. The genesis games were all zip files, and I had read that they need to be unzipped. I tried that with Alien Storm and got the same results. I am sure that there is something simple that I am missing and have tried Googling what it could be but a lot of the answers arent specific to my issue. Thanks in advance -

Using the desktop is not supported on Raspbian/Raspberry Pi, start EmulationStation at boot (from the terminal) and not from a desktop session. More details how to configure that here.
