@mitu I didn't know which direction to go and then I thought more about an early comment of yours. You said some things don't read /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg. Running out of options I renamed the huge file that was there (to save it in case I need it) and made a copy of the "rp-dist" file to use instead and rebooted. Voila! Everything works as it should! (Well, I still have that error that you said wasn't related. But I have sound everywhere that I had previously and games are running at normal speed again.) I'm so happy. Thank you!

@greengrounds but yeah put the power supply into that hub. Then the power supply is giving power to the controller and the pi.

@FakedPotato with no information given, it's hard to help. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first Maybe post the config files that you have created? What controller? Power Supply? Wiring diagrams? Photographs?

@SmackAttack86 Please add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. EDIT: make sure the usbromservice is installed, on a PC is no longer installed automatically, you need to install it first from the optional packages section.

@mitu it should be called Rasputin.

@ZioDarkmage sudo fsck.fat /dev/sda1 I always have this where it says it was not properly umounted. I'm looking into it. Oh well, It is probably nothing.

@brand said in Retroarch crashes when launching games (ES Windows 10): What should I do? Make sure your RetroArch works, this is not an Emulationstation problem. Also, this is a RetroPie forum, not a general RetroArch forum - you might want to try the libretro forums if you have problems using RetroArch on Windows.

@mitu that makes sense, and i'm actually thinking the updates crossed over each other, making the update confuse each other, retropie and etc. I should have thought of this, but anyways, thank you for clarification, that's all I really needed to know

Tried another cable anyways, no luck. This is a first for me.

@Outlawedpizza that's not how it works - we don't work for you. I will remove your account.

@OregonPacifist there isn't anything magical about it. You can put those roms back into the arcade folder and they will work. You just need to change the default emulator in the runcommand menu. Definitely should read the documents links previously posted.

@mitu It works just fine within EmulationStation, but once I start RetroArch everything freezes until I connect the USB controller.

@mitu Sorry about that. I wasn't sure how to post the log file. So I ended putting some soldering some pins on it and putting it in a freeplay zero. I wiped the sd card and added the freeplay modded retropie (That was before I saw your post asking for the log file...). Weirdly enough a somewhat similar issue occurred again. The buttons stop responding and the pie pops up errors. Since I wiped the previous log and I can't access get my keyboard to work on the gba I don't think I can provide much to you. I talked to Ed from Freeplay and he suggested some things to try out. If it doesn't work I'm going to just try out a new raspberry pi and see if that's the problem. Thanks for taking the time to try and help me troubleshoot.

@markgrindcore in the retropie setup script under configuration/tools I think there's an option to reset the retropie menu. If not it might be under core. Don't have access to my pi right now to check

@mitu yeah sure mate. It’s all the same. Enjoy.

@djawadi Looks like a bad written image or undersized sd card. Please give more details - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@mitu Thanks for the quick response. I just ended up using my Pi1 and used a 2.5 speaker jack. Odd reason that pi3 did not want to pick up the 2.5 speaker jack or find the USB speaker... Weird.

I had that happen once after an update. I had to tell it to uninstall retropie and then reinstall it. it all worked fine after that.
