      @hellasius Try to enable the verbose logging in the Runcommand menu, maybe the log would be more detailed. Does your sound work ?

        I tried with another ROM for pokemon ruby and I have the same issue.
        I run the ROM with verbose command, same. Where can I find the error file? that I can share it with you.
        I do not have a daptater for mi Pi zero to try the sound., I don't know if it's working.

          @hellasius said in GBA roms not starting on Ras Pi Zero W:

          Where can I find the error file?

          Same file as before - /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

              @hellasius Do you see text like 1679/ -/ Pokemon/ Rouge/ Feu/ (F)(Rising Sun).gba in the grey box if you start your ROM?

              Look at the slashes /

                    @hellasius The log file doesn't seem to report any errors, but have you tried to see if the ROM is ok ? Load it in another emulator - on a PC maybe ? - to see if it works.

                        Roms are all working on my PC.
                        I realize it was just a issue during the transfert of the rom to my raspberry, now it should work.... but actually my raspberry pi seems not to respond to my SD card.
                        I tried to reboot on the new retropie IMG, and nothing. Green led blink twice, then nothing.... when I try the same SD card on another pi It's working.

                        If you have any advice for this issue, that would be great.
                        You already helped me a lot. Thank you.
