Various issues on a new Retropie

I just have one last question : for the Megadrive emulator I do not get to see the Theme logo when selecting the system only a bland ''megadrive" with no artwork.

I don't really understand what is this about ? Which theme are you using and what do you expect to see (instead of the Megadrive logo) ?

In addition I do not know how to add a multitap option to enable 4 player games on Genesis Plus emulator

From the Controls RetroArch quick menu, go to Port 2 Controls and change the Device type to the desired multi-tap device (4-WayPlay, Teamplayer or Master Tap).

@mitu it means that when you are in the menu you see a logo for each system and for Megadrive I just see the regular font without a logo and same in the Megadrive menu its all dark and I dont see the choosen theme.

By the way sorry to disturb but we are also experiencing another issue : when we launch Retropie after a long break (switch off) retropie Emulation station crashes after just a few seconds for some reason and we get an error message. After launching one more time it doesn't crash anymore and we can play but it does crash every time we launch Emulation Station after we switching off for awhile. Do you know what cause that?

Which theme are you using ? The default theme (Carbon) has a MD logo included, but if you've switched to a different theme it may be missing.

This doesn't sound familiar, but please post the exact error message you receive.

@mitu I am using Comicbook maybe that's why

This is the error message that I get everytime I switch on my Rapsberry pi 4 (after not using for awhile). When I reboot however I don't get this message anymore and I can play but it's a bit annoying to get this message every time I launch Emulation station

@Skum1988 Are you doing a proper shutdown? Or are you just unplugging the device?

Skum1988

@Thorr69 Now I am pressing reboot. But before I unplugged the device regularly because I didnt realize that you can use a keyboard to reboot RetroPie

CommicBook has a MD/Genesis logo, so that shouldn't be an issue. Try re-installing the theme and check afterwards.

@mitu thanks. Any solution for my Retropie that crashes at every launch? I can't seem to see what caused the problem. I have to reboot all the time for it to work.... thanks ahead

Try to look into the EmulationStation log when the crash happens - the message with the error you posted is a generic one that's printed when ES crashes, but check the log file in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_log.txt. Post the file's contents, taken immediately when the crash message happens.

I've seen ES crashing when the gamepad's connection is unreliable - usually when the USB cable is bad or there's not enough power supplied to the system. etc. Is your gamepad connected when the crash happens ? You didn't mention how the 8bitdo SNES 30 pro is connected (USB or Bluetooth).

@mitu

I am using a wired controller. Like before Emulation station would crash when I plugged in my controller in the menu. Right now it crashes right when I boot up EmuStation after I see all the code lines. Here's what I saw after the crash. After reboot it works fine tho

I don't see a crash related error in the log file, but the last message is about a Microsoft Xbox 360 controller being detected, which is weird since you said you're using a 8Bitdo controller. Did you install the xboxdrv driver ?

Skum1988

@mitu my snes 30 is detected as a Xbox controller I don't really know why it does that. I haven't downloaded the Xbox driver but I can try... As I said yesterday the Pi immediately crashed when booting up the system. And indeed there is no error message that's why I am totally lost... I have tried to change the theme back to carbon to no avail unfortunately

How are you trying to do that, exactly ? Changing it from the EmulationStation menu and then rebooting cleanly should save the configuration (w.r.t. the theme selected) and EmulationStation should start with the new chosen theme automatically.
