      Hardware

      • Raspberry Pie 3B+
      • retropie-4.4-rpi2_rpi3.img
      • Keyestudio 5.25 volt 2.4 amp Power Supply
      • MakerFocus RPI Armor Case with Dual cooling fans
      • Rockcandy Xbox wired controller
      • AmazonBasic Xbox wired controller
      • No Overclocking

      Issue:
      Emulationstation first looses audio then locks up. Console interface is dead, but ssh still works. This has happened running various games. I have run several stress test, with no problems. Easiest way to make it fail is to start up Donkey Kong 64 and just let it run it's intro loop. After 2 or 3 hours, Emulationstation will lock up. Ususlly locks up quicker while playing game.

      Tried:
      Upgraded emulationstation. Did not cure.
      Tried several different themes. All failed
      Built new sim frome same image and installed only 3 arcade games and 1 NES 64 game. Same failure
      Moved sim card to RPI-3B with same config as above. Same failure.
      retropie-4.3-rpi2_rpi3.img works fine on RPI-3B.

      opt/retropie/VERSION:
      4.4.4
      /dev/shm/runcommand.log:
      Parameters:
      Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh AUTO "/home
      /pi/RetroPie/roms/n64/Donkey Kong 64 (USA).n64"
      /dev/shm/runcommand.info:
      n64
      mupen64plus-auto
      /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64/Donkey Kong 64 (USA).n64

      /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg:
      video_refresh_rate = 60
