Don' know exactly why, but theres some Nes games that with the default emulator doesn't launch. I mean, It shows a black screen and then return to the frontend. If I select the other nes emulator installed (lr-fceumm instead of lr-nestopia) then those roms works. All my roms are no-intro roms.

For example, these roms works with lr-nestopia:
Hudson's Adventure Island III (U) [!].nes
Super Mario Bros. 2 (E) [!].nes
Super Mario Bros. 3 (U) (PRG1) [!].nes

But these don't:
Hudson's Adventure Island (E) [!].nes
Super Mario Bros. (JU) [!].nes
Super Mario Bros 2 (Lost Levels) (Unl).nes

Thanks a lot in advance!

@Carcayu update the emulator from binary or update RetroPie (via update all installed packages).

Carcayu

Yes it works updating the emulator! Thanks a lot BuZz!.

Just curious, was it an emulator bug?

BuZz

@Carcayu yes. An old one too (but triggered only in certain conditions).

@Carcayu No-Intro ROMs are not named in that format. They look like Cowering Good format.

Carcayu

@windale you're right, I've made a mess , it is a Goodnes romset (I used it before for an arcade cabinet project a few years ago and I didn't remember the romset I used)

@Carcayu hey man did you ever get Super Mario Bros 2 (Lost Levels) (Unl).nes to work in retro pie? could u share what you did exactly?

thanks so much

@briandamico it just worked for me. You might want to try downloading the lost levels from another location. Not sure if mine was named the same becauase i remove the garbage in the name.

briandamico

@edmaul69 i looked in a few places and couldn't find it. i have had it for a few years, using it mostly on my mac and on a GB Advance rom cart. but have not tried on the pie.
you suggest i remove garbage from the name of it? wanna give me a hint of where to look for something that works?

briandamico

@edmaul69 i got it

i removed the garbage lol
good tip
