      Hi, i have a raspi3B with latest 20 april version.
      I play the PSX with rearmed, and have changed the resolitions a few times.
      All the sudden i cant change or remove any setting.

      When i go to retro-pi menu and change some thing, then i after that i am able to change the settings again when booting.
      Can i solve or prevent this or is it a bug ?

      thanks

        Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

        All the sudden i cant change or remove any setting.

        Is this reproducible or is it something that happens at random ? Is any error shown when the problem happens ?

          Hi, i have no idea, it happens after a while.
          When i change the retro-pie setup menu render resolution to something, then it is changable again.

          When the bug occurs the whole menu works correct, only if i select another render resolution, or psx-rearmed render resolution, the changes wont apply ( the setting is still on 1920x1080 after press ok/apply ).
          This bug is in the menu that launches after pressing 'A' when starting a game.

          Note : i changed the resolution quite a few times.
          The selection does not matters, it hanged on multiple selections.

          When things work i play a few times, and the day later i cant change a thing.
          Even with : clear selection for psx-rearmed, wont work.

              I use the resolution change and the runcommand launch menu quite frequently, but haven't stumbled upon this issue (hanging or unable to change the resolution). Though these days I'm using a Pi4 more, which doesn't have the 'render resolution' option.

              If you find a simple way to reliably reproduce, please add the necessary steps - if it's a bug, we'd be interested in fixing it.

                Can you try resetting ownership for your ROMs? I believe there is an option for this in RetroPie setup menu. I seem to remember this coming up before and this being a possible solution.

                        @wild-snail you don't need to look at any code, just go to the retropie-setup menu and there should be an option there under configuration I believe
