@mitu alright, you can delete this thread, I'm not really sure how. Appreciate the responses

@mitu Thanks...

@berserkerbx23 said in Gamepad configuration screen at startup freezes.: now do I need to update or do anything else to it? Sure, you can update and get the latest versions of everything.

Search on YouTube, easy hax background music. I am using his work, very simple script he made for background music.

@meneer-jansen My pleasure. :)

@jenslyn87 Very nice!

I tried to uninstall and reinstall retropie. I removed the binary drivers but nothing helped. :/

@anassassinsblade that's just a video splash. They either disabled the ES splash or just changed it so it was a more seamless transition between the retropie boot splash and the ES splash. It's just a hack.

@hex Ok, apologies

Hey guys, Thanks for the response. I formatted the SD card again and reloaded retropie. Still had the same problem so what I did was removed my wireless playstation controllers and plug my hard drive in a different usb port (because it wouldn't boot up without the hard drive in) this time I had a different error message. I turned it off, unplugged the usb then turned it back on without the USB and then everything was back to normal. It's bizarre, but I'm glad everything is back to normal. Thanks for your help!

I suspect a memory leak related to video previews. I just posted something similar I noticed after implementing video previews. While running 'top' logged in via ssh, with each video preview, the free memory went down a bit and stayed down, bottoming out around 80k. Even when left idle overnight, the memory did not free up. Only rebooting the pi freed up the memory.

Changing RAM do the trick!, Thanks!!

@pindapoe Glad to hear that :) I just changed a name and added the game informations (took some time)... No big deal ;-) If you want to change them, I added a "guide"
