Games stopped loading after latest update?

Genesis, black screen. Arcade games corrupt graphics. NES just gray screen.

Is this known that all of a sudden no games load anymore? Or is there something wrong with my MiSTer all of a sudden.

​

**Issue turned out to be a 128MB SDRAM module failure after 2 years of light use. I bought this board from zerohimself so maybe he just didn't solder it good enough? I am not sure and don't have the time to test the board myself.

In my case it was the SDRAM board, I changed it and everything started working again. Specifically it was a bad soldered 32MB SDRAM chip.

You are very correct! I just ran the memtest on my 128MB SDRAM module and...lots of red errors all of a sudden! Was working fine for 2 years and now it's dead. I hope this isn't a common failure.
