      Pi Model or other hardware: 3B+
      Power Supply used: Canakit 2.5A
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.8.1
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: Logitech K400 wireless keyboard dongle (keyboard powered off)
      Controller used: 8BitDo NES 30 Pro
      Error messages received: Segmentation Fault (see below)
      Verbose log (if relevant): https://pastebin.com/dHNFUjUL
      Guide used: n/a
      File: BerZerk (USA).7z (also happens when uncompressed as BerZerk (USA).a52
      Emulator: lr-atari800
      Attachment of config files: ?
      How to replicate the problem:

      When I attempt to launch any Atari 5200 roms, I'm met with a segmentation fault error message in the runcommand log. (full verbose log is linked above)

      Parameters:
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-atari800/atari800_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/$
[libretro-atari800]: Got size: 336 x 240.
[libretro-atari800]: Got size: 336 x 240.
[libretro-atari800]: Got size: 336 x 240.
[libretro-atari800]: Got size: 336 x 240.
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1304:  8876 Segmentation fault      /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-atari800/atari800_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/atari5200/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari5200/BerZerk (USA).7z" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

      I'm not really sure what to do here...

        I've confirmed my 5200.rom BIOS has a checksum that matches what's in the RetroPie docs.

        I thought "okay maybe it's a ROM header issue", so I went through this list and updated a few of them: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16556/cartridge-type-code-list-for-atari-5200-games
        Unfortunately that had no effect.

          I just upgraded to a Pi 4 and Atari 5200 works now!

          However I still get segmentation faults in runcommand on a Pi 3.

          Both are running Retropie fully upgraded with the latest lr-atari800 binary.

          So I guess if this is happening to you, ditch the Pi 3 like I did.
