hi @pjft , I think I found it. When all items in the retropie system (i.e audio, bluetooth, wifi etc) are set to hidden, this causes the crash as described above. if you have at least 1 item set to not hidden, it then works fine.

Hope this helps.

@legion28 i have the same problem, only solution is to downgrade RA version...
In my case, when a press Xbox 360 guide button, its return to emulationstation...

power suply is 2.5A and pluged into wall not a power strip

sd card i think might be the problem i couldnt run retropi or raspian the first few times i tried

@dsstrainer Thanks for sharing your find. I just tested it and it works fine, but only if the file is created (by touch in your example) when ES is already running. ES seems to delete the file at start up, because it's actually meant for ES' restart option, as I understand it.

Thus, to use it as an everyday fail-safe in case ES crashes you'd have to find a way to create it automatically after ES has already started (edit: and to manually delete it if you want to shut down ES for good).

Just an addition to your advice, since you don't need it yourself anymore. :)

@pjft Thanks, I'll try it today and let you know.

Hello mitu,

thanks for your reply. I looked a the games.log file. no details of the crash.
I also tried the "set cvars" in the ingame control panel etc, still crashed.

not sure where to go from here.

@jjapes Just update mupen64plus via retropie-setup.

@shavecat Please open a new topic and add your info, don't clobber an existing topic.

I got the same crash with another game in another system: Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (USA, Europe).sms. Renamed it to Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (USA).sms and the problem went away.

The only common thing I found is that they both don't have either image or video, in the middle of other games that do. My current theme (Chicuelo) displays both image and video.

@ranma Thanks for the final report.

@pjft sorry I didnt know i really wanted some help thank you

For information, I formatted my root partition with F2FS more than a year ago, and never had a corruption since.
The main drawback is that it's more difficult to resize ATM than ext4 or xfs.

@crocodiletom You only need to update EmulationStation (from binary), once the fix will be commited to the stable branch.

@mitu Ok, never mind. It appeared.

@francegue said in Kodi won't start when launched from Ports:

/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

@Rascas : indeed, installing kodi from the command line instead of from retropie-config solved the problem. Thanks!

I see I still have the file /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg totally empty, do you think it can be an issue if I reboot?

There's an option to disable video audio in the Sound Settings.

Ok. Thanks for the answers @BuZz and @mitu

@buzz Just updated from source and can confirm that it worked. Thanks for the fix!
