      So, I have a Raspberry Pi 3+ and used to play normally until Dec 2018. A few weeks ago I noticed the Recalbox 6 release and flashed it as usually. But now most SNES games are buggy: some have pixelized boxes instead of normal sprites and others gets black screen. Only a couple of games are running without any error.

      How could I troubleshot this? Is there any log that I could search for?

      I'm asking this because I don't know if this was a software issue caused after updating or it is a hardware issue (my son let the RPi fall on the floor recently and I didn't like the sound it did).
      P.s.: I already tried to redownload Recalbox and reflashed.
      P.s.2: Sega MegaDrive Sonic 2 and 3 works perfectly.

        @coutoreis ,

        Hello, you can't update from any Recalbox before v6.0 to 6.0. Too many changes. You need a fresh install.
        Updates will be back for next versions.

        https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/17011/a-lire-processus-de-mise-à-jour. Here is a post for a safe upgrade (not update) to 6.0. It's in French but Google Translate is your friend.

        Rpi 3B, Shanwan PS3 controllers x2 with external BT dongle, Sandisk Extreme microSD 16Go, Sandisk Ultrafit 128Go exFat USB 3 key
        GPI Case, PI0w, Sandisk Extreme microSD 64 Go

            If you did a fresh install and try with the roms and the theme provided, it may be a hardware failure.
            Try another SD card and at last an other RPI (if possible), If you have a case, Retroflag ... try without it.

            Sorry, I can't help anymore.

              @coutoreis Hi, my snes romset works perfectly from former version to the latest. If you did a fresh install, try the different cores and see if your problem is solved or not (give us a feedback).
