Please add some info about your setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

What does 'crash' mean ? EmulationStation freezes (without accepting any input) or it crashes with an error do the command line ?

@mailo to save you some time: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#pcsx-rearmed-controls

Seems your issue is similar to this one, solved with an updated ROM file. I suggest you re-download the game from https://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/cores/Handheld Electronic Game/ and retry.

@pjft Sorry, lost track of this topic, mostly because my freezing was solved months ago by setting 'only parse gamelists' to on. I only just installed the -dev version yesterday, now with threaded loading set to true. Will report back if I encounter anything of note.

I had the same problem and the answer of @DanTarl in the post "https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31488/solved-repeated-disconnect-of-zero-delay-usb-encoder-dragonrise/2?_=1640282263483" solve my problem

@bic said in Emulation Station Crashed!:

I'm running a raspberry pi 3b+ with retropie version 4.5.1 along with canakit power supply and image that I put together from a bunch of other images.

Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download, we don't provide support for 3rd party images.

@bdpyle Word of advice - don't use 'Reset Configuration' in RetroArch, the defaults it creates are not best suited for a Pi/RetroPie installation.

Run emulationstation --debug from a terminal window and post the output. My guess is that there's no HW accelerated GL support, but the log output would help confirming the assumption.

@sirhenrythe5th Ill Uninstall ReDream and try Flycast and see if the same thing happens

@rtarroyo BTW

The internal switch is turned on to safe shutdown and im running the latest version of Retropie, installed it today

@dankcushions I just played through the entire first mission without it crashing. This definitely fixed the problem. Thanks a lot!

You didn't mention how installed RetroPie.

I'd like to fully admit I'm a moron...
The cord wasn't fully plugged in which is why my recording device and etc were having issue detecting the raspberry pi..

I am so so so sorry for wasting your time.

@sad_muso said in Pi 4 Retropie issues:

Hi,

I've just upgraded to a Pi 4 and performed a fresh install of the latest Pi 4 install file (md5: 9154d998cba5219ddf23de46d8845f6c). I know this is still a beta, but I've experienced a couple of quite big issues. Is it the build or something I'm doing?

WiFi search initially found about 8 of my SSID name (for some reason). I couldn't connect to any, but now it can't find any SSIDs at all Retropie has crashed on a few occasions (with 'Retropie has crashed' message) Can't change resolution from 4k to 1080p because I can't get into the resolution menu - it just stays at the same menu level

Have I somehow got the wrong image or copied it to the SD card incorrectly?

I had similar issues

WiFi - I created the file pre setup so didn't have this, however did notice a lot of repeats in Bluetooth when setting up my sixaxis for PS3.

Didn't get crashing

Raspi-config resolution... I couldn't get into this either although I did get a workaround which helped.

Never mind I have fixed it. I used the MC command and changed the word kidmode to full in the /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg.

@spacepilot7132 are you using an official RetroPie image? Anytime you have odd behavior you should turn off your overclocking and retest.

@Spectreman

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I had this same exact problem, and this same exact solution fixed it for me. And the weird thing is that I definitely had 5200 stuff working previously. This problem only just started happening for me. Very weird.

@tackett1980 Cool.. you know, I'm just gonna say the difference in bios files might be a wild goose chase.. so only search for mine if you're really bored :P Hopefully the reicast folks will address the build issue with the stable branch on rpi3.

I have an rpi4 with retropie running, and was able to play for several hours with no issues.
I started with a base raspian image, and followed these instructions here to install retropie:
