      I'm experiencing issues with Screenshots and Retroachievements related to (it seems) Graphical Widget setting.

      1. If i have Graphical Widget enabled and do certan retro-achievements (like 1UP achievement in SMB1 for NES) it freezes/crashes the game. However the same achievement does not freeze/crash if I have disabled Graphical Widget.

      2. With screenshots it's the other way around. It quits the game instantly if Graphical Widget is not enabled and I take a screenshot, however it works fine if Graphical Widget is turned on.

      Is this a known issue and/or does anyone else experience something like this?

      I'm on RPI4 using latest retropie 4.6.

        I remember seeing a fix for 1. in RetroArch's repository, but don't remember seeing 2. There's a similar issue for 2., that was fixed after 1.8.9, but it looks like it happens with the new graphical widgets.
