Great. That worked. The configuration has been saved to the file.

Regarding the theme for the Commodore 128...

I have found the Commodore 128 system logo from UDb23 (c128_ingo_udb.svg)
Is there also a keyboard image (red) for the C128 available like for the C64?
I haven't found anything yet.

Then my system integration into ES is nearly perfect. :)

Thank you for the support again it was a great help to sort out the errors!

@quicksilver

@Smythius said in Emulation Station crashed!:

Could under-rated wires inside the case be contributing to the low power as well?

I don't know, can you connect the power supply without those cables and test it like this?

On a side note. do you know of a good place to get a 3.5mm to RCA Composite AV Cable that works with the RP3?

Alas, I don't know that either, because I didn't need such a cable in my household, yet. The value of such tips also depend very much on where you live. I live in Germany; since it's 9 a.m. here and you posted about 5 hours before me, I doubt that you do, too. ;)

Please add more info about your setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Try to get the Emulationstation log file - via file shares from \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\es_log.txt - and upload it to pastebin.com so maybe we can see what error messages appear during startup.

@mitu Thank you, that was correct, es_log.txt showed me where the issues were and so I could target the rescrape better.

To recapitulate, EmulationStation always crashes on startup when I have "ParseGamelistOnly" set to "true" with the following message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
what(): basic_string::sucbstr: _pos (which is 27) > this->size() (which is 22)
aborted

I'm using the latest EmulationStation version compiled from source to be able to use custom carousel themes. Of course I could just leave that setting set to "false" but that defeats the point of having the option.
Any ideas of what could be causing the problem?

Thanks in advance.

It's an old topic of mine but I fixed it and thought it might be a good idea to explain how to fix it and why it happened in the first place.

My company PC is running Windows 8.1 with Mobile Intel 4 Graphics card. If you use the graphics driver that Windows 8.1 automatically installs you will get that corrupted font view. Technically I don't know why it happens but it looks like that the graphics driver chosen by Windows 8.1 does not have the necessary functions to run ES or other applications like Minecraft or Angry Birds.
So what you need to do is down-grade your driver to an older Windows 7 version which is very well explained here.

Once you have applied the older driver all runs fine.

Hope that helps.
