Unable to play SNES games

So here is the situation. I installed lakka on an all in one pc, install went fine, I had to map the buttons on my retropad to get everything to work, no problem there. Added SNES roms, once again no problem. The problem starts when I go to launch a game, I select it, hit play, the screen flashes and I’m back at the main menu. I am at a complete loss here, no idea where to proceed and I am unable to find any post with someone having the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you download any cores first? You can get them from the online updater.

how do i go about doing that? I didn’t see anything in the tutorial on how to even proceed with that.

As far as I know, you do not have to download any additional cores. They are already there. Why don’t you try any of the nighlies releases? I have got much better results with updated builds.

Hi Hardcoded, sorry but I can’t help you. I’m unable to reproduce that bug. For me, snes games just launches fine.

Thanks for the help, I’ve since given up on this project for now, this was meant to be a simple system for my kids to play snes games on and I have yet to get it to work.
