Same issue here using Raspberry pi 3 with the retropie 4.1 release, have you solved it?

@GGHendrix Start a new topic and describe your issue (after reading - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first)

I am not saying that the issue in this topic is power supply related so it is kinda off topic but I am new to this RPi stuff and I had some troubles too at first, troubles like weird RPi behaviour or emulator performance issues, until I finally got all of them sorted out by getting the "right" power supply setup.
Maybe we can have a sticky link to a wiki page that clearly explains the difference between all those power supply units and micro USB cables.Some people buy the 2.5A USB AC adapter but use a regular micro USB cable from a phone or whatever they have laying around which most of times barely cover 1A or if lucky 2A. Or some cheap sellers sell those PSUs as 2.5A but pair it with a regular micro USB cable which again is not enough to power a RPi3 or maybe even a RPi2. I needed to buy a micro USB cable that clearly stated on the package that the cable is made to use for up to 2.4A.
Then there are the other PSU like the official Raspberry one (white colored) that don't use a separate micro USB cable and therefore should be able to power the device correctly.
I am sure we can reduce the amount of topics by just adding that info somewhere where people can see/read it. Even though there are many that can't or don't read the current sticky link in the forum. But I guess it should be worth a try.
What you say?

We have some information on the wiki, but I'm happy if some more information is added to the existing "read me first" topic - if someone split off the PSU stuff from https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Overclocking#power-supply to it's own page on the wiki we could link to that (As it's not just linked to overclocking).
Not that I think it will make a difference as you have noticed - people don't bother reading it :-)

I have added some info to the sticky

@mediamogul
I keep having the same issues as this person and it is not the power supply it is due to the load up code, in particular, a failed one. The fail I got was "Failed to start HAProxy Load Balancer. see systemct1 status haproxy.service' for details. " this is where the problem is coming from because on the first load it works fine but as soon as it reloads it fails this part of the code and will not work. -
