      Hi there,

      we encountered a weird issue with Pilotwings64 (so far the only game this issue seems to happen with) and collections in EmulationStation (on a Pi 4 with Retropie installed from pre-made image, updated last week). I've set up a custom collection for my dad to easily find his favourite games and he reported, that starting Pilotwings64 from his collection will get him through the menu but will crash upon loading a level to play. This does not happen when starting the game "normally" by selecting Nintendo 64 in ES and finding and launching the game from there.

      Any ideas what can cause this issue? It's certainly not a major problem, since the game does run fine, but just not when launched from a collection.

        There's no difference in launching a game from a collection vs. a system - it's the same command - they use the same command to launch.

          @mitu That's what I thought as well, and that's why I found it really strange.
