I changed the gles2n64.conf and now it seems to work:

I still have the problem. I also thought it would be something with the resolution. I still have a CRT-TV. Sometimes it worked by changing mupen64plus.cfg, but the next time the error comes again. The mupen64plus.cfg will always be overwritten. Why?

Same problem with mariokart 64. Sometimes freezing after the nintendo logo with a white screen. I also had the problem with the rpi2.

[Swampy]

popcornmix has fixed the problem. Thank you all for helping me.
A sudo rpi-update will do it now!

[Swampy]

Willing to test but does one use the rpi-update tool for this?

First you have to update with sudo rpi-update. I think that is not necessary, but I have done that, to get the latest firmware and kernel. Then you must download the testbuild https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3669512/temp/firmware_scale.zip. You have to unzip the file and copy the included files to the /boot directory of your retropie-image. The old files must be overwritten. If popcornmix will include this in the next version of the firmware, you only have to do sudo rpi-update.

I have tested the testbuild https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3669512/temp/firmware_scale.zip and it solves the problem for me. I only have tested emulationstation, not the emulators. Perhaps, somebody of you would like to do this.

[Swampy]

I always used a retropie-image. I think popcornmix (https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/484) has builded emulationstation from source. Is there anybody, who might help popcornmix to reach the main menu.

[Swampy]

I opened a ticket on https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware and I hope I described the problem correct.

kernel: Bump to 3.18.13 (Commits on May 9, 2015) is the last which works good.
With firmware: video_render: Use crop rectangles rather than port parameters to handle opaque images (Commits on May 13, 2015) the problem appears.

Last working:
https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commit/8521fd34c8f66b6d109acce943f6e25ec93ec005
First not working:
https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commit/03b44377dd1f410900d93ca92d39cdacba3544ac

[Swampy]

OK, i will check that in the next days and post it. I never opened a ticket on github. I hope I will manage this.

Thanks for your help!

[Swampy]

OK, just tried kernel: Bump to 3.18.12 -> works too

Bump to 3.18.12: sudo rpi-update 2f4703cbee9801ef04adcf63d74823961cc3c275

The problem must be somewhere between kernel 3.18.12 and kernel 3.18.14.
I will test them too!

For now the screen-problems disappeared with kernel 3.18.12

[Swampy]

OK, just tried kernel: Bump to 3.18.10 -> works
kernel: Bump to 3.18.16 -> Don’t work
kernel: Bump to 3.18.14 -> Don’t work
kernel: Bump to 4.0.5 -> Don’t work

Bump to 3.18.10: sudo rpi-update 8751db9fd7138848c29cc55ec05f95c9eea80acb

My TV: Panasonic TBM8E2145 (CRT)

[Swampy]

Thank you for your fast post. One additional question:
What was the firmware/kernel-version of Retropie 3.0?
It would be easier to test, if I have a specific timeline.
Then I can reply from which version the problem appears.

[Swampy]

I think, you have to press the Test or Service Button. Then you must exit the internal menu of the rom. After that, you can normally start the game.

[Swampy]

You have to edit the dosbox-SVN.conf! Set usescancodes=true to usescancodes=false. You might also change keyboardlayout=auto to keyboardlayout=gr too.
