On Pi 3 If N64 roms folder has contents then accessing setup or rasp-config gives black screen

spacemonkey

Pi Model: ( B, 3 )
RetroPie Version Used: md5sum: 4bf44fa37bb9db72b9d7c6dfab6fe015
Built From: (RetroPie website https://retropie.org.uk/download/)
USB Devices connected: wireless x360 adapter, wireless keybord
Controller used: wireless x360
Error messages received:
How to replicate the problem:
If you add roms to the n64 folder that work,
you test the roms and everything works then try going back to emustation and choose anything that triggers the terminal menu, choose either raspi-config or retropie-setup or wifi... the screen goes black. no error is shown.
If you press ctrl+c you go back to emustation menu.

Thanks

I forgot to say that i have retropie installed on a 64gb sdcard..and if i delete all the roms from the n64 folder then everything works, scripts , wifi terminal

spacemonkey

it seems to be some corruption with script ...but i can not find any relevant log. Somehow i do not see any image whenever i want to do something in the console, if i press ctrl+z i a am back in the emustation.
I checked the logs but i can not find anything ...anyone has an idea in what log should i look ?

Please ssh in (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh) and give me the output of

git -C ~/RetroPie-Setup/ log -1

So I can tell what version of RetroPie-Setup you are on.

are you booting into Kodi before Emulation Station ?

Please post the output of cat /boot/cmdline.txt Please put in a code block - see http://commonmark.org/help/ - I have formatted your previous post.

@spacemonkey That would have been a good detail to mention in your original post.

The issue is to do with the screen reset code in the Kodi launch script, and is a known problem.

as a temporarily workaround you can edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh and add between kodi and emulationstation the line sleep 1; fbset -depth 8; fbset -depth 32

Worked thank you very much

@spacemonkey I assume you worked out I got the path wrong - I meant /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh - glad it's working.
