    I have recently built an arcade cabinet with a raspberry pi running it. I have two 3 inch speakers connected, and two USB interfaces connected to 7 buttons and one joystick each, full retro arcade style. However, now that I have uploaded one game onto SNES, then tried to add another, it keeps coming up with the 'Emulation Station Crashed' blue screen. I have no background other than the carbon basic, and so far only two SNES games. I have had this problem before and fixed it by formatting the SD card. This is now my 3rd or 4th time, and I don't want to have to format the disc each time I use the machine. Any help would be appreciated.

      Please fill out the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - what Pi model ? RetroPie version ? Power source used ? etc.

      The only crash I've seen in the last few years with EmulationStation was related to controllers disconnecting/reconnecting due to faulty USB connection or due to insufficient power fed to the Pi. Run emulationstation by typing emulationstation --debug at the prompt (after it crashes) and then post the error that it prints on the terminal after it crashes the 2nd time.
