wow, very well documented issue. Thanks. one previous question: did you update manually cores using retroarch online updater? this can produce seg fault for cores since they are not optimized for RPi.

If not, you can try to go to retroarch settings>plyalists and check if your playslists are assigned to proper cores, or try with another cores for those systems.

Another hardcore option is to remove retroarch config file (rename it) and launch retroarch, it will create a new config file, maybe there are some corrupted lines in actual config file or any mistaken data in playslist lines in the file.

Finally, there is no need to do this in LibreELEC, it is just for OpenELEC: -Patched for Issue #41 retroarch 1.3.6_LE7

Had to patch for #41 otherwise it wouldn't load at all.

go to retroarch>settings>playlists and assign "FCEumm" core to "Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System" playlist

Stavr0 commented 7 years ago

Did that and the Playlist items are now working. Thanks!

I think the initial install of Retroarch needs to have a few more defaults setup to avoid unnecessary debugging,
