Any time I boot any settings and select games my RetroPie turns black

[abg038]

@mitu It won’t let me quit Emulationstation

[mitu]

@abg038 How come ? You can choose 'Exit EmulationStation' from the EmulationStation menu (accessible with Start) or just using F4 on a keyboard directly.

@mitu when I click quit Emulationstation it brings me to the black screen

[mitu]

The 'black screen' is probably the command terminal, where you should run those commands. Can you show a picture of it ?

[abg038]

@mitu but I doesn’t show the welcome thing and only shows my mouse I’ve tested and I can’t type anything

@abg038 it won’t let me send a photo

[mitu]

Resize it be under 1Mb, or upload it to imgur.com and provide the link.

Does this happen even after you start EmulationStation (on reboot) or just after you're starting the game (and get booted out) ?

[abg038]

@mitu it happens no matter how many times I reboot on the configuration menu before a game starts (but all my games are now booting but the still have that screen before they boot) and when I exit Emulationstation

[mitu]

Sorry, but I can't figure out what and why exactly is working and non-working. The 'configuration menu' before a game starting - I assume you're referring to the Runcommand launch menu - it's ok to show up.

If you're using Drastic for NDS games, there's a known issue with older version where it would produce similar results with yours, so I would update RetroPie and the installed packages to get the lastest version and see if it still happens.

@mitu sorry I forgot a comma I meant to say the configuration menu ,a game before it boots,And when I exit emulation station

[abg038]

@abg038 as I said early it would not let me access the configuration menu so I can’t access update setup script

[mitu]

In this case enable SSH and access your Pie via Putty, then start the update from the SSH session:

cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

If that doesn't work, your installation may be corrupted and you'll need to re-install.

[abg038]

@mitu how do I enable that

[mitu]

Follow the link and it's explained there.

@mitu I wiped my ds card and redownloaded RetroPie everything is good now
