    Hey,
    EmulationStation won't boot, it just shows a black screen. Everything else worked fine before I installed an update. Should I reinstall RetroPie?
    Specs:
    Computer: Raspberry Pi 3B
    Controller: GameSir T4w
    SD card: SanDisk 32GB Class 10
    Display: ViewSonic VX2235WM-3
    Please Help!
    Lappy

        @Lappy4861 I have a similar problem, can you tell me how did you solve? I have a Pi 4 and suspect that the problem is the controller, since with 8bitdo controller it boots well.
