I am using all defaults, and connecting via HDMI to a dell monitor. I’m not sure what res it runs at. I’ll have to see if I can get that to you later when I have everything hooked back up.

Here’s the video settings:
state 0x120016 [DVI DMT (84) RGB full 16:9], 2048×1152 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
I thought it was running my display at full res, and now I have confirmation.

The only two emulators I’ve used are the default SNES, I think it’s the lr-snes9x maybe, only saw it flash on the screen briefly, and pifba. Both exhibit the same behavior. It also doesn’t matter whether I switch to a new game in the same emulator or the other one. I have to reboot between picking a new game or I get the black screen.

The only changes I’ve made to the 3.0b2 img is adding the xboxdrv and blacklisting xpad. Then I configured the controls and loaded some games. That’s it.

I recently set this up on my pi. What I did was blacklist xpad, and install the xbox 360 driver from the retropie-setup script. Search for the blacklisting thing if you haven’t already run across that. There are several posts on it in the forums and elsewhere.

After that I ran the retroarch-joyconfig, I think also using the retropie-setup script.

Once that was done, I then setup the emulation station controller config. I think if you do that first, you will have problems later after installing the new xbox driver from retropie-setup.

My first attempts at editing the .cfg files directly were a big fail, so I reloaded the img onto my sd card and started from scratch. The second attempt was much smoother.

HTH.

So after looking through all the logs I found this error.

retropie kernel: [ 259.529122] detected fb_set_par error, error code: 16

Maybe this has something to do with the issue. Looks like a frame buffer error, but I’m not sure where I should look to troubleshoot it.
