      Hi Folks!

      I just got an odd problem 😐
      The masterplan today was to get "Myst Masterpiece Edition" running under ScummVM.
      Well, to say that: it works!

      But to get it working i updated ScummVM and for doing that i also updated the Retropie Setup Script (was on 4.2.8).
      After rebooting i realized that my Splashvideo was not supported anymore, so i decided to update my whole system by "update all packages" to 4.3.1.

      So far so good, everything was fine, Splashvideo run again and it seemed that everything went fine.

      BUT....now i have a great issue with the emulationstation-menue within emulationstation 😔
      I can open it and even navigate through the items, but as soon as i want to confirm a new setting or even press Button B to get back -> the system crashes to terminal.
      And it even does not recognize inputs from the keyboard - i have to pull the plug.

      My first thought was to change the theme because AFAIR Carbon no Meta was not updated to support the actual changes within Emulationstation.

      So i installed "Simple Pi".
      I was able to change the theme after rebooting, but of course emulationstation crashed again after trying to apply the new setting.

      So i deleted "Carbon no Meta" completely by entering retropie-setup again and rebooted.
      Simple Pi was loaded fine, but did not solve the problem.
      As soon as i want to apply changes or even just want to leave the emulationstation--menue without doing nothing the system crashes to terminal 👿.

      I will post the error-message tomorrow (im not at home right now) but has anyone an idea or similar experiences?

      thx and nice weekend!!!
