      Power Supply used: (If using a Pi)
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.1

      USB Devices connected: None

      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. 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.

                @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)

                    @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.

                      @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?
