        Ok, I'm going crazy...

        Installed a bulk of roms (SNES, N64, PSX, MAME, and SEGA MEGA CD), and now no roms works anymore!

        What am I doing wrong!?

        Still runing 4.0.1

          @Frederico-Rabelo try doing a new, complete clean installation, formatting the whole card again. You haven't tried anything out of the ordinary wirh the installation, right?

              Formated the SD card, did a clean install. No fancy stuff in installation.

              Now i think i recognised the pattern:
              The roms works for one time, and them stop working (black screen forever). For every core the same thing. The game works fine for the first "boot" and them stops working.
              I'm using a regular microsoft keyboard, and using "esc" to leave the game.
              If i restart the system, the roms work again for the first time, and them black screen forever.

              SD card is a Samsung EVO + 32GB.

                @Frederico-Rabelo you first told you were quitting the games with HK+Start, which is only possible from a gamepad, but now wrote that you are using a keyboard. What is your setup exactly?

                You should read the wiki and set the prefered video mode for your tv like suggested before.

                  i'm using both ps3 clone controller GASIA and kerboard.
                  As i said before, already tried setting video mode, but no lucky.

                    @Frederico-Rabelo did you already updated to 4.0.2? If not, do it.

                          I'm having the same issue and neither solution worked for me.

                          I did copy my shared folders/files over from a pi 2 to a pi3.

                          Oddly, the one game that works is mvsc2 but it it goes to a memory card "create file" screen and I can't even exit the emulator.
