@virginsteele said in ES - White screen of death on retropie 4.2:

@pjft I'm using the latest retropie 4.2. I did play with different value in the VRAM, but so far the best result is with 720px max background images, that's what I have in my SD theme version.

The goal is to try to optimize it for the best, since the theme should work for max users as possible.

When you press start, what version is listed at the bottom of the retropie menu? When you start up the retropie, do you see a "WHITE" Emulationstation splash screen or a "Black" Emulationstation splash screen?
