Reply To: RetroPie white screens during loadup with certain roms installed

[phillipjfry]

I’m having the same thing, emulationstation boots up with a white screen after the ES splash screen. At first I thought it was because I kept building from source, then I started just updating my SD card using binaries only, testing with a reboot each time.

I’ve been running into this issue repeatedly since I started using RetroPie at 2.1. SOMETHING happens during my configuration/copying each time. So far overclocking, changing the overscan to disable and updating the binaries have not been the issue.

The last few things I changed during this current attempt was I added some roms from backup (that were originally on the retropie) over ssh/scp, changed the locale/keyboard/timezone, moved over some backup files to .emulationstation/downloaded_images and .emulationstation/gamelists files.

I’m going to either back out some of my changes or start over and see if I can configure everything and not put anything new into roms or BIOS folders. I’ll update later if I’m even posting correctly.
