      @enkidu you and me both, I’m so annoyed that I updated. I need to start having an “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality.

        I had the same problem on raspberry pi 3 and 8.0.2, the first time was entering retroarch on an n64 game following the highres textures tutorial.
        Then I reinstalled recalbox, and this time after I enter on retroarch menu of an n64 game started with paralell it frozen, and after use the poweroff command when I try to run the same n64game with paralell it doesn´t start

          Same for me...
          Updated to 8.02 and the screen freezes on using retro arch menu.

          When i change the controller config on ps1, it starts errors like "memorycard 2 not found" and freezes as well.

          Thank you so much for your great work ..but.. updating recalbox is quite often buggy. If i get a proper usable version i think about stop updating.
          What about s.th. like a stable and a beta build?

            I achieve to make paralell run again deleting all cfg files into retroarch folder, the after run a game it seems it create them, the first time the game doen´t run but after reboot it seems that creates a bew files with original configuration

              I saw in other posts that this problem could be related to resolutions on 4K TVs. But I don't use a 4K TV, but I have the same crashes when navigating the Retroarch menu with Rpi3.

                  @zing Thanks for the tip

                  I looked at two links you suggested, did some testing and came to some conclusions here:

                  Note: I am using a 16” 1360x768 resolution HDMI monitor

                  In the link https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/26015/bug-recalbox-8-0-1 from what I could observe the proposed solution concerns only problems that occurred on Pi4 and Pi400.

                  In the link https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/26171/rpi3-and-recalbox-8-0-2-freeze-solution, the proposed solution actually avoids the crash when leaving Retroarch and returning to the game emulation .

                  I've tested this several times with the various pre-installed systems, and none of them have encountered the Retroarch output.

                  Now what I noticed is with regard to crashes when browsing Retroarch. If I set the “global.videomode” setting to work on “CEA 4 HDMI” no crash occurs.

                  But that's not the native resolution of this monitor I use as I mentioned above. Now if I set the configuration to work in "DMT 39 HDMI" (monitor configuration I use) or leave it set to "DEFAUT" then crashes occur when browsing Retroarch.

                  Thanks for your dedication @zing and the entire dev team.

                    But in that link bkg2k mentions:

                    Nous essayons d'avoir plus d'information de la part de la fondation concernant ceproblème, apparu avec une mise à jour des firmware Raspberry du mois de Juin 2021.*

                    Translating to English:
                    We are trying to get more information from the foundation regarding this problem, which appeared with a Raspberry firmware update of June 2021.

                    This sentence makes it clear that the team is aware of the issues, and is trying to resolve them directly with the Raspberry foundation, as the source of the issues was a firmware update that the foundation made, so it's not just up to the Recalbox developers.

                      @enkidu i had the same problem. Lucky I had an ISO with 7.0.1. Other than that, I lost a pendrive that was in raw and several games I will have to download again.
