@mitu oh, sorry.. yes. updated.

@mitu what i was saying is that I updated to 1.8.8 and tried to run a800. It failed the same.

Once I added that statement it worked. If I take that statement out... it fails again

@jamrom2 OK, thanks for the confirmation - have fun playing !

EDIT: you should close the issue you opened on the atari800 upstream repository, since it's not a bug in their emulator.

@mitu will do... thanks again! Great find and fix!

Wanted to say THANKS for the "menu_enable_widgets" fix and to share some more info.

First, it was interesting that ROMs were fine and that ATR disks were all failing.

I tracked down the segmentation violation in the /dev/shm/run command.log:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1283: 31257 Segmentation fault      /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-atari800/atari800_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/atari800/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari800/Mule.atr" --verbose --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

I took a look at line 1283:

eval $COMMAND </dev/tty &>>"$LOG"

All this is doing is running the right command, explicitly getting input from the tty, and tying file descriptors to the log.

I ran the command from the console and it worked fine without redirecting STDIN/STDERR. It also worked fine just redirecting STDOUT (fd 1). But every time I redirected STDERR (fd 2), I got a segmentation violation.

Not sure what exactly the widgets have to do with this, but apparently they do. If anybody wants a strace of this I would be happy to provide.

I hope this is helpful, and again, thanks for the fix!
