Hello,

I ended up getting this error after a long night of configuring bezels and such. Took about 3 hours to appear. I guess delete es_settings? Any adverse effects I should consider? I am on a Pi4 with stock settings.

Hey i think i never solved it .
Tried different themes install the emualtionstaion again....
nothing really works.
TRY THAT
maybe it will help (think it helps , but not sure...)
Adding this on your boot config.txt at the end -
gpu_mem=512
Or just change it the gpu_me to 512 from raspi-config .
Hope it will help Let me know ;)

@shavecat do you still have this problem?

shavecat

@greenhawk84
didnt had it for a while now...
so cant promise im just afraid to jinx it ;) haha

@shavecat looks like it could be screensaver related. I opted to use the other video player for my screen saver because it displays the game titles. I will try to use OMX again to see if I have crashes and will report back.

This comes up for me after a very long session with the system on, which could be an issue when I finally set this thing up in my main room for guests to play. I don't want any crashing when I leave the system on ready to go.
