@Dman-0 Ok. Just tested out if it's a problem with the roms i loaded up or not. Doesn't seem to be the case. I reflashed the micro sd card with recalbox experimental 9.2. Let it load without doing anything anything else. Went to super nintendo. And on uwol quest for money went into it's settings. Was able to click down the list. Went to show only favorites. Clicked. And it stuck from there.
Powered it down from the power switch. Powered it back on with the switch. It loaded the intro video. Initialized. And we're back to the splash screen with pacman enemies. Can't do anything but power it down from the switch again.
