      Hello Everyone!

      Newbie here to Retropie, doing my first build of what I hope to be a retro appreciation machine for me and my daughter. I recently installed the child-friendly / favorites experimental package and am now seeing issues on Roms that were working previously. This isn't isolated to one system, and anecdotally seems to be affecting ~30% of the ~150 games I have installed (across 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, GB, DS, N64, PSX, MAME). All of them seem to fail on the same line (851) of runcommand.sh w/ a Segmentation Fault. As a user, launching the title doesn't seem to do anything but briefly flash the "Launching Game" screen, then dump you back to EmulationStation.

      I'm wondering if in the collective wisdom of the site, it would be better to:

      1. Rebuild from stock image (after all, child-friendly is "experimental" for a reason, though I'd love to find a way to get this merged to EmulationStation proper as I think it's a wonderful feature to have, and could perhaps contribute!)
      2. Try other emulators / roms (I have multiple copies of some games, some with a [!] in the name and some without, and it isn't 100% the case but the non-[!] files seem to work better)

      Pi Model or other hardware: 3
      Power Supply used: 5V 2.5A Something I had lying around
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
      Built From: Pre-built Image, but w/ Child-friendly installed manually
      USB Devices connected: Wireless 360 Receiver (using wireless 360 controller)

      Here is the verbose output of one such SNES game getting the Seg Fault starring a female space traveler that I've omitted from the logs below to make extra sure I'm following the "don't mention things" rules
