Hi I think I fixed the problem I had to reformat my sd card and re install retro pie so I think my version was outdated to the point it wasn’t supposed anymore

@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.

@skylo You should open a new thread for that new question.

@mitu its like a white screen of death

@mitu I have attempted that but you dont have to wait to when using the up down left right arrows, i have tested this and it works before the time runs out

@DavidB21 oh okay that's good. I'm glad you found something that would work.

You can connect a second display only over the GPIO - something similar to this setup should get your 2 independent displays - one for normal gaming via HDMI and a 2nd one over the connected over SPI (GPIO pins).
The 2nd display can be used for showing the images (via fbi) or even videos (via omxplayer).

I think I found another solution--I had the same problem. I converted the videos using Handbrake on its normal preset, and now they run fine with both sound and video. They run best using the OMX Player. I only converted about 70 videos, but they all show the previews correctly now.

Something like this happened before with the videos from Stephen Selph's scraper, so I just thought I would try it and it worked!
