      May be related to the new splashscreen version, that uses vlc instead of omxplayer. Can you add the rest of the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, particularly the exact RetroPie version you have installed ?

      Do you have SSH enabled so you can run commands on the Pi connected via wireless ? What is the resolution of the screen and how is it conected to the Pi (HDMI/GPIO) ?

      I first thought, can we use function copyDefaultConfig here when placing the file? Except, when I updated this last time it also added a couple new entries, which I suppose we would not want to miss out on.

      You can't use copyDefaultConfig because the file is updated upstream and updates will not copy when a new version is added.

      So could we use sed or something, then, to add the fix automatically? Or, why do we even have to do this manually, why is this just not the default already; is the glitch specific to a certain hardware/platform?

      The default is the opposite (copyDepthToRDRAM=1), so it's clearly a platform (RaspberryPi / GLES3) glitch

      [DONKEY%20KONG%2064] Good_Name=Donkey Kong 64 (E)(J)(U) frameBufferEmulation\copyDepthToRDRAM=1 frameBufferEmulation\N64DepthCompare=0

      The launch script has some overrides for games, but copyDepthToRDRAM is not among the settings considered. Maybe it would be useful to have a GLideN64.local.conf and merge the settings from it in GLideN64.custom.conf, during installation/configuration.

      Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

      Mame 2010 hasn't been updated in the last 2 years, so it's unlikely the binary is 'old'. If you look at the package version information option in the package details (RetroPie-Setup), you'll see when it was built and from which upstream commit. Compiling from source will get you the same version as the binary installation.

      @Finntendo

      You should read the Docs.
      Here you can find many answers to your questions.

      I will try to answer your question.

      RetroPie is a collection of bash scripts running on top of a lite linux OS.
      Lite means it has no Desktop (windows) environment it only has the terminal.
      You can even install RetroPie separately on your own compatible debian based linux OS, even if it has a Desktop environment, even if it's not a Raspberry Pi.

      Just see a binary as an EXE files from windows, it is also a binary, you download it and it runs.
      But to create EXE files you need to compile it first from source so the computer can understand it.
      Compiling is converting the programming language into understandable code for the CPU this can take a long time depending on what computer you use.

      The RetroPie guys made it easier by supporting binary installs for the Raspberry Pi and perhaps for some other arm boards.
      They compiled it for you and many people can use them.

      Source installs can be more up to date if the source code is maintained regularly and the binary files are behind but it takes much more time to install.
      Though the binaries from RetroPie are updated quite regularly so if it's possible to update from binary than that is in most cases a better choice as it is much faster.

      You say you have updated everything now from source.
      This means that all installs are very up to date.
      So when everything works I would wait some time to update from binary.
      Because it could mean that you downgrade the emulators.

      The OS underlying files are updated in a quite normal way.
      This does not depend on the source / binary installs.
      So you won't downgrade your OS.

      @sleve_mcdichael Yes.

      For example ./retropie_packages.sh image all buster would build rpi1, rpi2/3 and rpi4 images based on buster.

      We don't support 3rd party images, as outlined in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
      Use the image from https://retropie.org.uk/download and you'll not have this issue.

      @llivingst I ran into a similar issue when I updated a year old build on my pi 4. It would get to emulation station, but went to a blank screen when going into a game. It think it was crashing cause I could not exit back to emulation station or my video feed was gone. I know a lot of kernel changes were made, so maybe you have a custom configuration that interferes with the new kernel. But Step one would be to try switching hdmi ports. I remember that being in the wrong port did that before. If not, you might have to reimage a new build. I changed all my custom configs from overclocks to KMS drivers switched back to and still no go.

      @windg It sure is! I decided to load up Mizzurna Falls, A game that I knew for sure crashed during the intro now runs fine. I couldn't find any glitches in the Gran Turismo introduction and played driver for about 6 hours without a crash. I know thats not all but those were it for me. The only thing I am unsure of is the end game event is Final Fantasy 8.

      @simpleethat I agree. It's great that it's all config files and easily backed up and replicated. The trick is knowing which files to back up, but it's not that difficult. :)
