      You can force a certain resolution on the screen, though depending on your version of RetroPie that option may not be available through the Raspi Config menu (as it was recently removed).
      What kind of TV is that (model) ? Can you try setting it to Game Mode so it's not doing any image pre-processing ? I think it's i the Picture settings of the TV, under Picture style (?).

      @phillylive when you say "crashing," you mean it kicks you back to the command-prompt? And it sounds like you already have a keyboard connected, so you should be able to correct it this way. Type exactly:

      nano ~/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg

      (Make sure it's all lowercase like this, and that squiggly dash is a "tilde," not a regular dash. Single space after nano, no other spaces.)

      Scroll down to the string section (past all the bool and int values) until you find the line that says:

      <string name="ThemeSet" value="your_problem_theme" />

      Change the value to "carbon" (the default theme), then press Ctrl-S, Ctrl-X to save and exit (if you make a mistake, you can exit without saving by just using Ctrl-X; tell it "No" when it asks if you want to save anyway.)

      Then you can type emulationstation to restart ES, or you can reboot.

      Zero Delay USB encoder Joystick issue

      @iandaemon said in Zero Delay USB encoder Joystick issue:

      Depending on what country you live in it may be opposite with the hot/neutral wires. I'm in the U.S. and our wiring is opposite of China in terms of colors. (Here traditionally black is the hot wire; in China red is traditionally the hot wire.) This is for the buttons though.

      FYI
      The terms of hot and neutral only apply to AC. And yes different countries use different color codes. The encoders don’t use AC, but DC (the joystick switches can pass either or ).When it comes to DC, the standard everywhere, as far as I know, is red for positive and black for negative/dc ground. Just look at a car battery

      @dizmodawg Use KIOSK mode would probably be easier to still have those available in FULL mode. You could just jump back and forth when you need to edit something. The stuff would still be there, but "hidden" in KIOSK mode. You just have to set the "hidden" flag on each entry in each system and the system won't show up. You can use KID mode like this to. You can flag a handful of ROMs as "kid friendly" and then that's all that will show up.

      They're kinda opposites. KIOSK mode will show everything except flagged. KID mode will show only flagged.

      You should add a proper title for your topic - just saying Help in a Help and Support category is meaningless.
      Take a look at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=58151#p1485558 to diagnose boot problems. Look at the LED flashing patterns on your Pi and compare it to the diagnose info posted in that forum post to see where the boot stops.

      @mitu thanks yeah I did a small Overclock just boosting it a small amount and it killed my Argon case motherboards BUT I do think it was dead out the box honestly because it has a fan built into the case and I never heard it ramp up on start up which it should have done, I've ordered a new case and will update everything first before even attempting another Overclock I think

      @jwat147 Welcome to this forum and to the Retropie community.

      There's a section in the Docs about NES including where to put which kind of ROMs. Please read it and ask any remaining questions here.

      @baileys13now Then please edit your opening post and put a [Solved] before the title of the topic (so that the title reads "[Solved] Need help With usb roms") to mark it as … well, solved. It saves potential helpers time by showing them that here's nothing to help anymore.

      @Sterophonick How did you get it to boot games? I seem to have installed it fine, got all the BIOS files and the emulator runs, but when I try to load up a game from a .D88 file it just sits on a black screen with "V2 4MHz" at the bottom and what look like a couple of disk-accessing indicator lights. Nothing else happens.
