      all games - no matter which rom or which system - fail to start. As soon as I choose a game from the menu, the game screen is shown for about one second. then the screen returns to emulationstation (unuseable, because it has a too small screen resolution). When I then start a second game, the game initially started is shown for about 5 seconds before the screen again returns to emulationstation (with broken resolution).

      Here is .emulationstation/es_log.txt

          hello @Substring , thank you for your support

          I did what you suggested and restarted emulationstation. The strange thing is that after restarting it, the games work as expected. I can't reproduce the error this way. Here is the output:

          # /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation restart

          Another thing I tried is, launch the game without restarting emulationstation (will end up in menu with broken resolution) and then restarting emulationstation. I was then immediately returned to the game and being able to play. Here is the output:

          # /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation restart
# tvservice-client: Failed to connect to TV service: -1
lvl0:   Error initializing SDL!

            Problem found. Earlyer I followed this guide in order to load my roms from a remote network share. As part of the guide you do the following:

            cd /etc/init.d/
mv S31emulationstation S92emulationstation

            One of the past system updates must have re-created the file S31emulationstation on my system, so as a result I had two of them. So I guess the problem was that emulationstation was running twice. After removing one it worked. Thank you @Substring for your hint with the restart command, that brought me to the idea.

              It is written in this wiki.

              Warning :

If you update Recalbox, a new S31emulationstation will be created. So restart from : Now edit S31emulationstation
