Retropi freezes

Just to tell you my actual doing... Root cause: My Gameboy Zero is just freezing during idle...
-Trying an other backup image does`t help
-speeding down the SD card write/read speed inside the config.txt may decrease the issue for some minutes
-today I bought a new sandisk extreme but unfortunately this doesn't help as well. Since I aspected an Sd card issue...

I am now on installing a plain new retropie version with all the small necessary adjustments everywhere. What a time consuming story...

But it helps me to collect all mandatory files and necessary steps on the console through SSH. I am recording all steps and noting some mandatory codes...

Hoping this freezing issue will be solved tonight...

Update:
looks like my behavior is an known issue: freezing just when emulationstation is in idle...
Inside games is fine... wasted time to do a plain new install. Still this issue... Looks I have to learn to live with... just be inside games, what the gamboy is made for.

I also noticed my pi consumes less power when on a game than on emulationstation home screen.

Did you guys opened up a bug ticket in emulation station git so that developers can dive into this ?
