      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 ?

      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.

      @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.

      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:
