      Hi People!

      I have Problems with my EmulationStation:

      After i unintentionally clicked in the retropie setup there was suddenly something installed and after that, my emulation station freezes. it also required sudo powers after that. i not use bluetooth with my retropie and i wonder me, what it has installed and why i cant undo that. i have a bt keyboard, but use it not in anyway with retropie ...

      me es_log:

      I dont know what to do now .. first i thought its about my overclock - but this works fine as all emulators and roms ... just the emulation station freezes after several seconds .. sometimes longer, sometimes shorter ...

      Many thanks
      Ricardo

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

          what it has installed and why i cant undo that

          You can find a log of the installations done through RetroPie-Setup in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs, maybe look there and see what you've accidentally installed.

            rpi 3 b+

            overclock settings:
            gpu_mem_ 320
            arm_freq 1350
            cpu_freg 575
            gpu_freq 500
            sd 500

            ... but also with defaults settings emulationstation freezes.

            It has something to do with the Input/bluetooth because:

            After the freeze and killing it, my bluetooth keyboard suddenly doesnt work anymore and its also disconnected ...

            something has happened since i accidentally clicked on bluetooth by the retropie setup .. i cant say what, because i reinstalled it now, and it happens again ...

              Ok, it was my fault:

              It was having something to do with my overclocking settings!
              I believe maybe something with my voltage, ill use now the default settings.

              Since then, no more freezes!

              Doing up this great work.
              Superb Community, answers after Minutes.

              Thanks
