Segfault with GBA emulators on Raspberry Pi4
-
Pi Model or other hardware: Pi4
Power Supply used: Power Over Ethernet HAT
RetroPie Version Used: 4.8.6
Built From: Raspberry Pi Imager 1.8.3
USB Devices connected: None
Controller used: Logitech K400r keyboard and APower Nintendo switch wired controller
Error messages received: none, launch rom goes to black screen then back to launcher
Verbose log (if relevant): Below
Guide used: Not a guide, but found the most similarities with this thread. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/34770/segmentation-faults-in-runcommand-sh-when-running-n64-games
File: /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1319
Emulator: All GBA avaliable
How to replicate the problem: I used the imager, then put the BIOS and roms in the correct locations. Emulationstation gave me the GBA launcher and launched rom.From the thread i referenced, the only thing that i could think of is that it is a problem with the lr- retroarch emulators. And I don't see any standalone GBA emulators for the Pi4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated even if it is to say that I'm out of luck.
Thank you in advance.

@KingIceMan said in Segfault with GBA emulators on Raspberry Pi4:
From the thread i referenced, the only thing that i could think of is that it is a problem with the lr- retroarch emulators. And I don't see any standalone GBA emulators for the Pi4.
Yes, there are no standalone GBA emulators, but there are several libretro-based ones. Install
lr-mgba, it should have better compatibility and it's still developed. But I'd also check that the BIOS file is correct (gba.bin), even if old, GPSP should still run for most of the games. -
@mitu Thank you for your response. I compared the checksum values of the bios with the value listed on the forum and it matches up as well as the emulators requested naming structure.
I installed lr-mgba from source and ran it again with verbos after it failed.
The first warning I see from my log says that I'm missing GameMode.
I found this thread from about 2 years ago.
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/32246/game-mode
I'm wondering if GameMode is used more now and if i should install it.
I also tried another rom and the result is the same.Blockquote

GameMode is not the issue here. Most likely your ROM is not correct - what's the checksum (MD5) of the PokemonFireRed.gba file ?
-
@mitu Funny thing, I went to check the value you asked for and when I looked at it file in Filezilla I realized that I must have messed it up during the original transfer because the file size was "0". I re-uploaded the original rom and it booted right up. I apologize for wasting your time on this, but I appreciate you helping me through it.
Thank you again. -
No problem, sometimes these kind of things creep up.
Happy holidays and have fun gaming !
