Batocera 5.19 randomly goes to black screen with batocera.linux prompt in the upper left hand corner
AMD FM1+ A8 3800 apu
8gb ddr3
60gb ssd
might be tied to when I enable wifi?
still need to experiment, also alot of the roms wont fully load most of the time or I'll hear audio but only have a still image any ideas?

kaito96 try reflashing batocera again. I had the same problem too, I ended up flashing batocera on a bigger usb stick and weirdly enough it worked. For audio issues, if it's retroarch go into settings and I changed it from NTSC to PAL and also turned off overlay (bezel) to speed it up. There's might be better ways but this method worked for me

ushilives I ended up reloading the OS, to an older build with an alternate gpu as well seems to run alright now thanks

Not sure if it's related, but I can't get the x86 v5.19 version to boot on my 64-bit machine at all. I had intermittent problems with earlier versions too, but booting first on a 32-bit machine fixed the problem.

I posted a thread on this here:

The 64-bit works fine for me, though. I presume that's what you're using?

As for the ROMs, are you using a MAME version that corresponds to the ROM versions you're using? I used a Windows program called "Rom Center" to audit the ROMs and fix them to ensure compatibility with the MAME version in Batocera.
