That usually means your emulator or rom isn't working correctly. What are you trying to run?

I tried running several GBA and GBC games that are working fine in other emulators. Also verified that they'd launch using the version of RetroArch that was installed, and when launching them from within RetroArch directly they do work.
Do any of the games included work at all, or is it specific rooms separately supplied...?

Not sure about anyone else but the scripts get to a good start and then displays this.

Things go good for a bit and then another one.

Hi @josephrooks I think that the best solution is to start again on another folder and trying to start the script by navigating to the folder on console.
Looks like a problem on locating the files by the script then wrong paths are saved on the configurations file
Any further news? Otherwise I'm going to close this isuse.
I'm having the same issue, When I try to play a rom, the screen flickers black and back to rom selection screen. This is what the log shows.

the last line is the problem, disregard the rest I replaced my name with ***
Hey JoeP24,
Could you uninstall EmulationStation, remove everything you previously downloaded and run the 'one liner' command on the main page.
I've made a few changes and I've tested each game and it works locally when the only thing I do from a clean slate is run the above command.
Hi Francommit, thanks for the help. I did a clean install as you suggested. Install worked perfectly but still get same issue. Pick a rom, fade to black, back to rom selection screen. Could it be that my user folder consists of my full name with a space in between?

It could be because of the change on fbneo name on retroarch. It needs more investigation, but I had this problem on the past.
It happens on all system for you @JoeP24 ?
Yes @PRElias
Ahh what rom are you trying to load? That's a retroarch problem. I just had the same problem when adding a NeoGeoPocket ROM.
Will need to grab another core I suspect and change the template for others.
same issue, all roms for all systems. So definitely something on my end.
Do I need to do anything besides run one liner and then put ROMs in respective folders? I see the cores folder on my desktop too, does anything need to be put in there? Very new to this all.
Click on rom ES fades away cmd window opens and closes immediately ES fades back in This happens for all systems all roms
Hey Joe,
I've done a bunch of work. Could you grab a new copy and try again?
Thanks
Thank you Chris,
I was able to come up with a work around. I had to create another user in Win10 with admin privileges and then the one liner ran without a problem and ES is working fine. The problem seems to be that my normal account has a space in the user name. Even with all the online research and trying every combo of inserting quotes in the commands in the system cfg file nothing worked at all. But thank you, I will do another clean install with your updated one liner when I get a chance.
I'll try it out again with the update too, just grabbed a copy and put it into my "stuff I need to install" folder. (Hi other Joe!)
Have you guys managed to get around to trying again?
Hey @JoeP24 and @josephrooks , had a chance to try it out again?
Haven't revisited, have been drowning in work too much to do any tinkering. Feel free to close this issue unless you'd like to wait and see if someone else can confirm it's fixed.
Done a bunch more work and tested it on a few systems, LMK if it persists.
As the title says, I'm running into an issue getting ES to actually launch any games. It's just showing my desktop for a second, and then returning right back to the game list in Emulation Station.
I'm running a 64 bit version of Windows 10, so not sure what the issue could be.
