      Hello, and sorry I make so many posts, but whenever I go into a GBA game, my screen will occasionally go black. I have already boosted the HDMI output in configs.txt and it continues to go blank. The screen doesn't recover when it happens, and I have to pull the plug without saving.

      As far as I know, this happens during GameBoy Advance emulation only. I use the vba-next RetroArch core.

        Okay, so now I'm getting blanking AND random "No Signal" to the TV. The no signal issue recovers when I exit the game. Could it be my seven dollar HDMI cable?
