          This information was asked of you in the Stretch testing thread and I don't believe you ever supplied anything. We can't offer any meaningful insight without knowing the specifics of your setup.

              There actually is no main power supply for any model Pi. It may help to know the specific amps/volts of what you are using. This should be readable on the power supply itself.

              Error messages received: none

              So you did check /dev/shm/runcommand.log for errors after a failed launch?

                  The files are deleted between reboots, so you may have to launch another game for them to be created. Make sure you access the files after a failed attempt to launch.

                      I noted the source installer does not work, says missing file on server, so I be thinking that may be what up, got no idea what I am doing, sorry, but I note on the upgrade page it says to update using source, so if this as not got one you think that be the problem, just to be clear this is a new installer using your image, before you ask I.e. not an upgrade)

                        It looks like a similar issue was reported and fixed around six months ago having to do with SDL, so it could possibly be an issue there.

                        just to be clear this is a new installer using your image

                        I'm just now reading in the other thread that you were initially using a 3rd party image. While we can take it at face value that you're now using the official one, please keep in mind that this is an extension of trust and it would most likely be impossible for us to troubleshoot this issue if it were caused by an unknown element from another image. It would also waste a lot of time on all sides in trying to do so.

                        All that aside, I always believe it to be good practice to ask others for confirmation on an issue I'm having myself before I open up a ticket, so outside of a dev being able to immediately identify the source of the segmentation fault, perhaps other B+ users can help verify this issue on their own setups as well to have as much information available as possible.

                          I never was using 3rd party image, i posted a YouTube video where someone was using a 3rd party image (same as your beta iamge, that just as added tools in the menu), I then added a video using your own beta image, that the one on there now, I tested using your beta image before reporting on your site, also someone also posted they had the same problem I.e. the videos are of the same problem with 3rd party copy and also the real deal beta image off your site, they also say so on there video, the6 was testing the new pi3b+ and installed direct off your site, same problem as me, it’s being reported all over YouTube and the net, it’s not working

                              There are loads of youtubers testing out what the new pi can do having the same problems as me, it’s 100% not working, yes not all of them are using the real image, but the new video I posted is of a big YouTube that is using the real image as per my tests

                              I'm sure that's the case. It's just that you're the first to report it here, so all the routine questions fall to you. Posting the error from the log is a step in the right direction. Someone more familiar with the software may be able to identify the issue more easily.

                                  Thanks mate for posting, they may now get it sorted, as I be thinking most that updated to the new pi is for n64 upgrade without the need for a overclock and fan

                                    I am busy rebuilding binaries for the new release (and a few other tasks), but will look into this once that is done.

                                    It's worth rebuilding mupen64plus from source to see if that makes a difference.

                                      If installing from source doesn't work it means your RetroPie-Setup is out of date - you should update the script first - there was a recent fix for a build issue due to directory name changes in the upstream code.

                                        Ok, I will look, into that, please note it works after a image upgrade, just update some other image, so it works on the new pi and n64 works 100%

                                          @j2001m What image upgrade ? Note I am not interested in hearing anything more about 3rd party images.

                                          if you mean it works after doing update all packages, then that's good and it means the bug is already fixed (There was a bugfix applied recently that may have been done after I last built new images).
