This just started the other day. Can't think of any major change that caused it. Anybody know what is going on here?

We don't support Berryboot, so YMMV with this setup.
Does this happen for every game ? Check if your save file (saved state ) is not corrupted/empty.

@mitu thanks for the info. Just double checked and it was actually from the pre made SD image on the RetroPie Website.

On save state corruption/empty, how would I check that? This isn't happening with other games, so I bet this is the case.

Thanks so much for the help.

The save state file is a .state file in the same folder as the ROM (file name is the same as your ROM file). You can either overwrite it by doing another save or just remove the file.
