@buzz Am aware, but i didnt know what the issue was. Thanks.

@mitu That was it! I renamed the tracks in the .cue file. Thanks for the help!

@mitu What's weird is that this issue is absent on the Pi 4 (which is the last place I'd expect to see a bug be absent).

@zerojay Hi just for clarity it is Lr-GPSP that crashes, Lr-mgba seems to pass this point fine.

@gmesmer Sorry, totally forgot about this. I'm away from my Pi tonight but I'll do that tomorrow.

Edit: I've done that now, doesn't even load up. Just black screen then back to Emulation Station.

Sorry for the spelling mistakes but I cannot edit the post anymore (Askimet spam mark).

@BuZz Thanks Buzz! I have now set it up to boot directly into Retropie. No issues so far.

I remember seeing a fix for 1. in RetroArch's repository, but don't remember seeing 2. There's a similar issue for 2., that was fixed after 1.8.9, but it looks like it happens with the new graphical widgets.

@mitu I added:

hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080

to the config.txt in the boot partition, just above

#config_hdmi_boost=4

on line #35.

That seems to do the trick. Excellent, thank you.

Vagrant Story has a bug with lr-pcsx_rearmed in that the game won't recognize its own save file checksums sometimes and it won't let you save the contents of your Container, losing anything you have put into it. You can still save your game progress though. I recommend Save States, but sometimes it will crash when you go to save state...

@Jaimie2485522 said in Games crash on startup and return to game select:

I went into the Retropie Setup menu and selected "Update". This updates the Retropie system to the latest version. During the installation it asked 2 times if I wanted to replace some configuration files. I did choose "install the package maintainer's version" : So that replaces the currently installed configuration file.

This is the reason that only the official install is supported here. Whatever the update replaced configuration file wise was at fault it would seem.

Always better to start with the original and best 😉

Ok I understood what was happening.
There were two more optional Dreamcast emulators that I missed installing.

The games that were not booting in the Reicast run well on the other two. :)

@neurocrash
I have the same problem with segmentation fault while running atari emulator.
I wrote two scripts:
1 - /home/pi/joyoffon.sh - turn off, wait 30 seconds, turn on controller
1-1.5 - this is my controller listed by lsusb -t

sudo echo '1-1.5' | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind sleep 30 sudo echo '1-1.5' | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind

2 - /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh
run joyoffon.sh only for atari emulator

echo "runcommand-onstart.sh" >&2 echo $1 >&2 if [[ $1 == *"atari"* ]]; then echo "This is atari - run script" >&2 /home/pi/joyoffon.sh & fi

After running atari game I have to wait until controller message appears.

@Simrose

My issue was solved by inolen and updated redream binary made available.

Thanks
Sim

@roslof - Nice, that looks right, I appreciate the screenshot.

@pjft - Thanks for the tip on AdvMAME I'll give it try this weekend.

Here is a final snippet

"May 03 12:11:25 lvl3: UIModeController::logInput( Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver (XBOX) ):Button 0, isMappedTo= a, , value=1
May 03 12:11:25 lvl2: req sound [video.launch]
May 03 12:11:25 lvl2: (missing)
May 03 12:11:26 lvl2: Attempting to launch game...
"
So no errors.....

But I have managed to find a fix.

I'm also using the gtx970 as my sound card. if I disable this retropie works fine.

Guess this will just be one of these really odd bugs that only effects me :)

Thank you for your time

@fordpickup said in Sound Error and Final Fanstasy Origins Failure (PSX):

(It didn't solve the weird sound error notification, but hey if it works it works!)

I think that sound/alsa error comes from EmulationStation, not fro the emulator. Use the EmulationStation menu and play with the Sound settings - Audio Card/Device are the ones that produce this error. Most likely you can change the Audio Card from Default to something else and the error will go away.

Thanks for the help.

To update, it looks like everything is working after disabling the favorites and last played menus. I also updated what I could to the latest; there was a conflict on setup script so that wouldn't go without massaging. I still feel like the underlying problem is still there and would come back if I re-enable, but I'm not going to pursue farther.

Sorry for the delay in replying. The only other thing in my 'fba' folder is another folder called 'fbneo' which has a file called galaxian.hi (high score I presume) along with other games with .hi extensions. Some files in there have an .fs extension, Galaxian doesn't have an .fs file here though.

Nothing at all now in the 'fba' folder as my games are now in 'mame-libretro'. No other files in 'mame-libretro' other than the rom zips.

Hmm....
