Black screen after loading screen

[gothrek]

Hi, tks for answer.

i works with recalbox for the last 4 weeks, i use it every day and i put news roms every day.
i stop the emulation copy the roms by network and start the emulation.

yesterday, after start the emulation, a very long time for start (i understand that depend from the numbers of the roms) i receive a black screen. (i have 100Gb of roms)

i can see the loading screen but when complete i cannot see nothing.

i dont know if there is a timeout or other thing.

tks for link but 100G in usb its complicated

@gothrek With emulation you mean starting a ROM? So the system itself works or it fails on boot?

I use this usb stick for example (Its a swiss page, but I think you'll find it also in your country:

@lackyluuk i cannot see the menu for choising a system (snes or other), going to black screen after recalbox loading. the emulation is started but i cannot use it.

@gothrek

above you has written that you transfer a lot of roms to the system.
Have you looked that you have not transfered a non compatible character in the romname?
for example
correct = 720 Degrees.extension
wrong=720°.extension
This maybe can make problems.

When you can access the recalbox-manager via ip, look into the logs.

EDIT: the example file 720°.extension can be show up as 720?.extension in gamelist or your romfolder

@abunille tks i m going to check, but it's improbable cause i use clrmamepro for check/change all name before copy. i try to delete the last roms and try again.

@lackyluuk by emulation i think he means emulation station

[gothrek]

@voljega i talking about this:
/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start

[gothrek]

i dont found any solution about it, i reinstall all and copy all roms (excluded mame 24G), works, i try tomorrow to put again all mames roms.

@gothrek You can easily save your roms to an external USB key : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Use-an-external-usb-storage-device-on-recalbox-(EN)

@substring i copy all roms (more then 100g) in windows with extend2fs virtual volumes.
i put my sd in my notebook.
