      I apologize I am new to RetroPie and Raspberry Pi. But I will provide my hardware information below:

      Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
      PS4 Controller
      64GB Sandisk MicroSD
      RetroPie V4.3

      I have been having issues getting this to run ROM's. At first I could not connect my controller through Bluetooth. But after walking through about 10 different pages online and trial and error I got the wireless function to work and mapped my buttons according to the following setup:

      https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration

      I can navigate Emulation Station, just fine. However when I boot a ROM and attempt to press a button it typically exits the ROM and loads Emulation Station. I have loaded the settings in RetroArch and the buttons are mapped correctly in RetroArch, but again I just cannot play any games.

      Does anyone have any tips? Links to a way to resolve this? Do you need more information?

      Thank you for assisting me, I have spent about 5-6 hours on this and just want to load up some ROM's and relax.

          May I ask what I was missing so I can provide it? I provided hardware information and my problem.

          I looked into the FAQ's and could not find a solution to my problem. I also utilized Google with no help, so I turned to this forum.

            @blkkrow This indicates a problem with the emulator or ROM.
            What game are you trying to play and what ROM ?
            Have you tried looking in /var/shm/runcommand.log to see if any errors appear ?

              I did not know about the run command log, I will look into that.

              I am attempting to run a PSX Game, "Wild Arms". To make sure it wasn't the Rom/Emulator I attempted a SNES game.
