Sorry for the missed info. Here it goes:

Raspberry Pi 3 B, V2 Power supply 5V 2.5A Games: Tetris on Atari2600 , Tetris on Sega32 RetroPie built from SD image, RetroPie version is 4.3 No overclock USB devices: wifi antenna, 4 axis joystick, infra-red keyboard+mouse receiver

What can be done to get this LCD panel, which worked fine under 3.8.1, to work under 4.3?

Try editing /boot/config.txt and add this hdmi_force_hotplug=1

@AllFather I don't know if it is still an issue but I know Amazon had a very notorious reputation for allowing fake sd cards through. Also , with a USB 3.0 adapter and matching port, the writing to the card should take almost no time at all. Even on a 2.0 port and older card I know a 32gb image will write in 30 min or less. If it is a good card, perhaps it's a corrupted download or extraction?

I know last time I had an issue I re-downloaded the image , was forced to manually deleted the partitions on the card, and created news ones. I only use Samsung Evo cards anymore and they have been beyond phenomenal and the price point is perfect.

Thanks a lot! I assumed that because it requires root access, it would be impossible to edit like that.

Problem solved! :)

But it runs great on 3 of my other x86 (x64, actually) systems. Just not on this one with this particular video card driver. If you don't mind my asking, how does lr-beetle measure up to pcsx?

it's just a fairly old emulator that does a good job of running games at native resolution on low-power arm devices, but if you have a powerful PC then beetle is a better choice as it has loads more features (high resolution, perspective correction, etc), and is constantly updated.

I'm having a similar issue. Thought I'd post here rather than start a new topic, hope that's OK.

My problem is the game starts up and runs fine as long as I leave it in demo mode. The demo loop runs the video and sound just fine. But when I start a game I see Dirk run across the bridge and then the screen goes black. I can hear the game running but can't see anything. By pressing random controls sometimes I'll get the death scene or if I'm lucky, a level I can actually play before it all goes dark again. I've deleted the .dat and parsed many times with the same result.

I'm hoping someone can help me sort this out, thanks. Here's my ls output:
