Hi, i just installed lakka on my laptop, but whenever i start a game the screen goes black and the lakka logo apears. then it goes back to the menu again as if it had just restarted.
hope you can help and thanx in advance.
Possibly the same issue I was having? Does your laptop have an ATI/AMD Video card?
Same issue here. Thanks
I will try to provide an X11 version of Lakka, and see if it fixes this bug.
I am having this problem, too. Sonic for the Genesis worked the first time, but nothing else ever worked. Now every game including Sonic reboots the OS.
I’m using the version from the download page (not the nightly one)
andrewjcole, is your card an ATI?
I believe it is, yes. It is a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop.
OK, please try this image http://static.kivutar.me/Lakka-Generic.x86_64-devel-20150518150748-r21009-gd55ab55.img.gz
It uses X11 for rendering.
It could fix the bug.

All I get is something like this now. I have it running live and I added some roms to the “roms” folder on my thumb drive.
OK this is a known bug. It happens when your retroarch config file is corrupted. You can simply remove that file while retroarch is not launched, and it will be created again.
Anyway thank you for testing that image. I got some reports from other users on github and facebook, and it does fix the ATI compatibility.
Also, since this image is a nightly, and there is a new bug in RetroArch, you will have to disable OSD messages in font settings to prevent some crashes.

I can see the cursor thingy for a sec, and then it reboots.
Ah, this happen when your config file is corrupted. You can either delete it or reflash.
That is a different, fallback menu called RGUI. You can switch back to the XMB menu that Lakka normally uses by going to settings > driver settings > and then change the ‘menu driver’ setting to XMB.
Ah, this is another bug, sorry. It happens when your retroarch.cfg is corrupted. Please reflash, or delete that file.
Gee, I sure have to delete my config file a lot. How does it always get corrupt? I’ll try again.
Oh wait… nevermind…
Also, flash emulators have been working better than this, which is a shock to me.
flash emulators?
Games emulated online using Adobe Flash player.
Is this the standard behavior when Lakka attempts to launch a game that is not compatible with any of its cores?
I downloaded a large number of arcade ROMs from a website which claimed they should all be compatible with FinalBurn Alpha. Now I am realizing FBA does not have the universal compatibliliy of MAME and a number of the ROMs I acquired are for arcade hardware FBA doesn’t emulate. When I have happened to try to launch one of these ROMs Lakka reboots itself.
Maybe in the future just a simple message indicating that the ROM isn’t compatible or something would be nice instead of the abrupt reboot that doesn’t really convey any information on what the problem is?
