[INFO] SET_GEOMETRY: 256x240, aspect: 1.215.
[INFO] Loading state: "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pcengine/Blazing_Lazers_(U).state.auto".I see you're auto-loading/saving the state for the ROM, could be that it's a corrupted save state ? Can you try renaming/removing the auto-save file and see if the game starts correctly ?

@mitu tried removing the save states. Still seeing nothing but a black screen. Here's the log:

[INFO] [Cheats]: Load game-specific cheatfile: /home/pi/.config/retroarch/cheats/Beetle PCE Fast/Blazing_Lazers_(U).cht
could be the cheat files corrupting the memory. try removing (you'll have to simultaneously remove your save state as well - to be honest i would disable the auto saving/loading whilst you're diagnosing this)
also remove the srm internal save file '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pcengine/Blazing_Lazers_(U).srm'

I used to have this problem with several of my TG16 games. The way I fixed it was by downloading the Ootake emulator on my PC, and using it to open all of the games that gave me a black screen.
I can't remember the details exactly because I did this quite a while back, but Ootake will display a message about there being issues with the rom you tried to open, and it will give you the option to save a "fixed' copy of the rom. This fixed copy should work on your Pi without giving a black screen... or at least that's how it worked for me.

@vic-viper-001 yeah something was wrong with those roms. I found a new romset and they seem to work fine.
@dankcushions @mitu So a followup question: is there a low-impact way to swap the new roms for the old ones but keep the metadata?
Or will I have to run the full scrape from scratch?

Just use the same file name/overwrite the ROMs and it should be fine.

@mitu some of the filenames are just a little different, ie instead of blazerlazer (U) it says blazerlazer (USA). Will I have to overwrite all of these one by one?

@bberlin1 unfortunately you probably will have to
