          Just tried the Trunykfran theme for the first time and while the background images are superbly done, I run into an issue where sometimes systems have just white instead of the beautiful background image. What's the cause of that?

            @Muddyhardcore the cause is there is no system done for then yet. Do you have examples of which ones are white?

              It's never the same system. As I'm scrolling through the systems some will just turn white. I restart emulationstation and they come back. I keep scrolling and 2 or 3 in a row will turn white. Odd issue.

                @Muddyhardcore update emulationstation from source and try again.

                      You do mean just update the retropie setup script correct?

                          Ok I figured it out. It was in core packages in the retropie setup script. Been stuck on 89% for about 3 hours now.

                            @Muddyhardcore you need to exit emulationstation before you build from source

                              I didn't do that. I went into the setup script from emulation station. What do I do now?

                                  Ok I was able to update Emulation Station and the problem with the backgrounds turning white is still there. It's random. No specific system.

                                        @Muddyhardcore Go into raspi-config/advanced options/memory split.
                                        Put 762, that should work.

                                          Do I need to exit emulationstation and get there from the command line or can I just select raspi-config from the retropie menu?
