      Hi, i just bought the new raspberry 3/B and installed the retropie on the sd.
      After some issues on booting now, the retropie boots ok.
      BUT any games that i try to boot, also the preinstalled games, wont work...
      If i try to boot doom for example it says:
      sem_post: no such file
      stack smashing detected /usr/bin/python terminated
      Any idea to solve the problem? thanks!

        Hi there!

        Did you flash the SD? Which version are you using? Have you tried an alternative SD?

                  Glad it worked!

                  Which is why I would always advise anyone to keep a cheap 4/8GB known working SD card at hand, just to test with in case these things happen!
