      I am trying to set up my Gamehat to play Sega Game Gear roms. I have transferred the roms in either zip or bin format (tried both) into the gamegear folder and have copied the bios.gg file as I am using the emulator lr-genesis-plus-gx. This is the emulator which I use with my other retropie system and the roms work fine but on the gamehat they either go to a blank screen and hang or just go straight back to the game select menu. Both raspberry pi boards are 3b+ ones and the gamehat is using 4.4.3 version of retropie. Other system roms work fine on the unit and it works fine apart from this. Any help would be appreciated. Interestingly I tried switching the default emulator to lr-fbalpha.gg and they seem to work but this wasn't listed as an emulator option on the GitHub page.

        Hmm...
        bios.gg in the BIOS folder.

        Try disabling threaded rendering in retroarch.
        Launch run-command, make sure there are no setting that look awry, perhaps resolution; launch with verbose mode enabled, and try to get the log from /dev/shm/ posted to pastebin here.
