Game launch issue Recalbox 9, Raspberry pi zero, Retroflag GPi CASE, have run chmod 755

[PanzerPandaNinja]

Hi, when truing to start the game from recalbox 9 it only shows a black screen,
but wen I run launCharc verbose ~/../roms/makecode/arcade-jumpy-platformer.elf from CLI via SSH first it starts and I can play a few seconds before the recalbox menu comes up, if I start the game again it continues where I left off. Here is the output from the SSH session:

getting a similar error here. Newest version of Retropie. Game runs for a few seconds and then crashes. I've also tried Recalbox 9, but I don't even get this far on that platform.

EDIT: I've since tested on Recalbox 8.0.1 and I get similar behavior. The game runs for a few seconds and then crashes back to ES. Perhaps there's an issue with rPi4?
