      Hello, I installed retropie zero onto my old rasp-pi 2, I installed the UAE4ARM emulator and put some games in the ROMS file (via SAMBA-Shares), then restarted it. The main screen now showed Amiga, when I selected it, it took me to a configuration screen, when I started the emulator I got a black screen, nothing else. I left it for 10 mins or so (the old pi can take a while to do anything) and still nothing. I committed a mortal sin and pulled the power (since f4, or any other button did nothing), and restarted it, and exactly the same thing happened.

      I thought it might be the old pi so I downloaded the new retropie for rasp-pi3 and imaged it on the sd, and followed the instructions from the first install, got it going, installed UAE4ARM, transferred a game, and got exactly the same problem: a black screen. I have tried putting an atari 2600 game on there since the emulator is native, but haven't managed to get more than a black screen on that either.

      What's happening? It's really starting to annoy me, and is taking a lot of my time.

      Thanks for your help and apologies if this has be dealt with before (I did do a search)
