Error messages received: None

$ No such file or directory

Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide): Set up guide on Retropie website.

Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS)

GBA emulators.cfg

lr-mgba = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/lib$
default = "lr-mgba"
$opie/configs/gba/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"

How to replicate the problem:

1. I have placed a bios with the md5sum of a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6inside of the BIOS folder retropie creates

2. Then placed the ROMs inside of the gba ROMs folder

3. Restart EmultationStation

4. Launch the GBA title with either MGBA or lr-vba-next

The game freezes upon the splashscreen starting to load, but the game audio will continue to play. The only way to exit out of the game is to completely exit out of EmulationStation. I have tested the games I am trying to use on a Windows PC with VBA and they launch without issue. All other systems are launching fine in RetroPie. If there is any more information you need or any error log, I can provide it if you point me into the proper directory to find it.

You emulators.cfg for the gba system is corrupted. It should be:

lr-mgba = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mgba/mgba_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/gba/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
default = "lr-mgba"

Replace the file with the contents I pasted above and re-try.
