Nevermind, figured it out all on my own. :) It was a literal issue. When I looked at the files directly, the ones I was having this issue with all had filesizes of 1k lol. I replaced them and everything's working again. Thanks anyway for looking!

so back again :) what happens to the retropie? once a few month ago it was very very user friendly just install and transfer roms.

now i got a really bad start with the new version 4.4 nothing seems to run anymore.. no kodi ( same problems i got initial with the NES roms ) no other emulators.. all got the same problems.. has there be a change in the versions? or why do i have that problem with the 4.4?

Still not got this sorted, the only thing I haven't done is reinstalled.
Can't for the life of me work out if something is sending a rogue keypress.
But I have noticed on some occasions pressing A worked ok to launch the ROM. Other times only the left shoulder button worked so something is definitely amiss somewhere.
For now I have disabled the runcommand launch menu. That's a partial resolution.

@NeoDude Not a mistake, but it seems something is missing. Do you have OpenGL acceleration working ?
Have you used Ubuntu's installer or did you manually install the driver ? I'd recommend using the Ubuntu's PPA packages to install the drivers or the Ubuntu package management app (Software center ?).

@mutedemon It depends on the theme - what theme are you trying to modify ?

@hhromic thanks!

So, you can't have transitions if you want to see the number of games instantly...

I didn't realize that!

@antoine8168 So it's not changing the resolution, just scaling the output. Maybe the the X.org server doesn't know how to scale the ES window, since it's an OpenGL application.

OK. Apologies for posting I wasn't aware of this. I'll look for help elsewhere.

Launchbox is free unless u want to use premium features. The free without premium features is still better than emulation station

@Halvhjearne

Not, I not have. This happened with all roms scraped with Universal_XML_Scraper64 . This not making any sense, is not a big deal, I know, all roms are working fine, but, should be more perfect without it. I really wanted to see all rom in a list and not inside that "fake" folder named nes...

@mitu

No something messed up as none of my keyboards worked either. I restarted from scratch. New image on and card and am setting up the usb load prior to adding my game collection

@SartreFan @m1k3ol
Instead of changing these settings in raspi-config. Have you tried adding these settings in config.txt instead?

Video options in config.txt

For example
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_ignore_cec=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=4

It depends if you enable the option ROM folder for gamelists & images in Selph's Scraper. I do have enabled it, so my gamelists are located in the rom folders, not in /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists. See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#where-are-my-scraped-media-and-metadata-saved about the possible locations.

We don't support 3rd pary/prebuilt images.

@shivaa Please open a new topic to explain your problem and add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@TomoS Emulationstation must be launched from the terminal, it's not going to work from an existing X.org/Desktop session. You'll also have to turn off/stop your login manager/display manager if you have one started.

@sunwind Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
How did you scrape your videos - which program you used ? Can you give an example of a game with a corrupted video ? Are you using the hardware accelerated video player in Emulationstation ?

@mitu ah, thank you! I had did searching myself but hadn't seen that thread. I'll check it out!
