@dankcushions You absolute legend! That has resolved my problem. Many, many thanks!

@appas
Here are a few images to show the progress so far.

Never mind the source text glitching on top of the menu; that's an artifact of raspi2png which I'm using to take screenshots, and it doesn't actually look like that.

@appas
Ok, I needed to revert another change, which was to set GL Driver to "Legacy" with raspi-config. This gave me the message "GL Driver is disabled", or something like that. No wonder projectM was slow!

@mitu that actually lit the lightbulb!

It turns out that the Xbox controller was the offender. Somehow it was messing with emulationstation when left on while rebooting. If I turn off the controller, everything comes back from restart no problem.

@UndeadSoul There's nothing to fix. That's how arcade games are built. Pac-Man didn't have two joysticks. Street Fighter did.

@mitu You sir are a gent. That did the trick. Thanks for all your help.

@RapidEdwin08 I thought you posted the Retropie-Setup code, not your additions. Feel free to send a PR to support LDME 6.

@windg insert the roms in the snes folder, the games start....thanks

Please can you provide more details (see link).

Also - Please provide details of how you have connected to your network.

Did the op get this fixed? This happened to me and it was (doh) because I'd just moved everything over to a new flash drive but I'd forgotten to copy the kickstarts across...

This does sound like a kickstart issue - either the required files aren't there or they're named wrong.

@saku00 so I tried some Naomi 2 games on the standalone flycast on a pi4 2gb. Good news and bad.

They boot. But they're absolute slide shows. 4-7 FPS at best.

https://ibb.co/fvXsjwn - you can see the FPS counter in the corner. So I would say Naomi2 is a no for a pi4. Not surprising given they're basically PS2/GameCube/Xbox graphic games. Maybe a pi5 or 6 in a few years will be able to handle that.

@mitu That's less of a problem than I initially thought as these also seem to be going for exorbitant prices at the moment. I did spot a monka Retropie build in the background in another video, but if the hardware is massively overpriced....

@mitu I just check it, doesn't work that way.

@mitu I apologize. I had a feeling that would get me smacked. I have created a new post with a similar request for assistance. Thank you!!

@CarlTheLooper There are several differences between batocera and retropie themes, despite they both run emulationstation.

Ckau-Book for example has animations when you select a system and you can't achieve this with es for retropie. I dont know why but you can't.

@Max-1 i never used premade images and can recommend to build your own image.
Makes a lot of fun, you learn a lot and everything looks, feels and works for you as you want it ;)

So, whenever your image crashes totally: feel free to get support for your own build here, we will be ready to help you then!
