      Pi Model or other hardware: 3B
      Power Supply used: 2.5A from Amazon
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.7.1
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website (md5: 642114d141a6251285c6aeca7d3db5db)
      USB Devices connected: Apple keyboard, Retronic USB adapter
      Controller used: Intellivision Flashback controller
      Error messages received: None
      Guide used: https://www.retronicdesign.com/en/configuring-a-raspberry-pi-as-an-intellivision-retro-gaming-console/
      Emulator: jzintv

      Followed installation instructions in the noted Guide. All is well and the emulator works great... for most games. However, two games - and so far, only these two games - won't load:

      • Slam Dunk pro basketball: On selecting the game in the RetroPie list, I get the "Launching" message, and then the games list reappears.

      • Chip Shot golf: On selecting the game in the list, I get the "Launching" message, the splash screen flashes for about a half second, and then the games list reappears. The splash screen also looks like there are errors - along the top are random characters, and the title "GOLF" appears in the center and I'm pretty sure it should look different. It happens too quickly to get a screenshot.

      Am I missing anything here? I'm using ROMs from the 2014 collection. Please advise!

        Found the issue - no "cfg" files in with the ROMs. Could have sworn I copied those into that directory before, but those files were missing. Adding those files did the trick and the games work great!
