    @pheedback I had the same issue when I got my RPI4 a few weeks ago.

    I have a fairly old 1080p Sony Bravia, first boot nothing so then all the usual cable swapping etc and managed to get video but no sound out of the other hdmi port. (Sound only from hdmi port 0 by default but can be changed).

    After reading some posts on the official rpi forum, I tried a newer 1080p tv which ran perfectly. I have since read it could be the 4K output is not compatible with old 1080p tv’s, maybe an old hdmi version on the old tv?

    I’ve gone back to the Sony TV and it works perfectly now, maybe the rpi has defaulted to a 1080p signal that it detected from the newer tv.

    Every time I power on the arcade cabinet it plays a random track from about eight (while in EmulationStation).

    Okay, there is some problem with the onboard bluetooth. The documentation already mentions that the case interferes with 2.4 GHz wifi. The same is true for bluetooth, and I added a USB bluetooth adapter to mitigate that.

    Just for context, here is a comparison of uncached read performance:

    SSD

    $ sudo hdparm -tT --direct /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 520 MB in 2.00 seconds = 259.69 MB/sec Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 902 MB in 3.00 seconds = 300.36 MB/sec

    SD

    $ sudo hdparm -tT --direct /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0: Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 84 MB in 2.04 seconds = 41.13 MB/sec HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid argument Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 124 MB in 3.02 seconds = 41.11 MB/sec

    Definitely worth the effort to me. Instructions for making the RPi4 boot from USB can be found here, btw.

    Mame builds are single threaded? Can they be compiled for multi? (I want to play cave games at full speed-_-;)

    @Ecks You can boot from the SD card and copy the whole system over to the SSD, it's just that you still need the card for the booloader. Look it up in the Raspberry forums.

    @matchaman normally at a flee market you could find some in decent condition for like 5$ each and the kit is like 20$ so 25$ for a wireless OG controller would be the best but for me when i play my console games on my Pi i use the SN30 Pro and Pro+ but when i am on my Switch i use the official one they offer when you have the Nintendo online service (which i have not tested on my Pi yet).

    it does have a dynarec right now but it's WIP, especially on ARM. i just tried it today. works for wipeout great (but still some audio cut outs), but tekken 2 locks up fairly quickly. once it's ready for prime time we will get it added.

    I poked around a bit more on this and noticed this behavior persists also in Mednafen running in Windows. I opened a ticket with the Mednafen as a bug since I believe this core is base off that. I tested out the old Handy emulator and did not see the issue there.

    Very interesting, then I should definitely give it another chance on an older Pi 3 setup!

    @dankcushions Yeah, the ROM I used was one I just had lying around from years ago when I first got into emulators. The emulator I used back then worked with the game fine, so it's probably just an issue with QuickNES as you've referenced. I've decided to use NTSC in the future. Cheers!
