@mitu Thank you for your ongoing support to the community, much appreciated. I just learned that you do not support 3rd party images, which I fully understand. And honestly I have not created this setup on my own, as my knowledge is very limited. However, when I try a fresh install, everything works as you described.

@iandaemon I was transferring files via ftp on ssh (laptop on wifi, pi on ethernet). I’ve tried a different sd card and still the same so have ordered a new hdmi cable coming today to try that. If not I guess it’s the Pi itself. If I change themes I also lose the sound as well. I do now believe it’s hardware issue, still driving me mad! Thanks again for replying.

NEW Experimental PiBoy Discord!
Alright.. I've been using the Eperimental Pi PiBoy w/ various Linux distros and it feels like the developer / creator is extremely busy to help most of the time..
I created a PiBoy Experimental Discord for discussions , ideas and help.

If you have one, come join...
Cheers..

@jamietuley You don't need to overclock, I was just checking that you didn't have that enabled, overclocking usually needs more power for the GPU/CPU and that might affect the USB current output.

A powered USB hub is one that it doesn't draw power from the Pi's USB port and has its own power plug. This was your IPAC and USB soundcard will be powered separately.

@buzz I am using the right port (the normal output one), and it works fine, then all of the sudden it blanks out, unplugging and replugging seems to help.

@avendosora You can't use the trackball to select games in ES. Which emulator(s) are you trying to use? More information would be appreciated.

@buzz Thanks so much for this !!!!!! I am not sure what happened with last update a few months ago but I had the exact same problem when I tried to to get the latest update. None of the retropie menu options worked and the command like setup did nothing. Your command has certainly helped a huge amount. Now I am just getting "Temporary failure resolving 'raspbian.raspberrypi.org'" errors and "error cannot lock ref 'refs/tags/4.7': unable to resolve reference. But great progress, thank you

@dankcushions Perfect. Thanks!

My setup is complicated by my son having a specific ROM set and my using a share to connect to those. It sounds like I might be better off just using MAME2003 core and finding the ROMS for those versions and keeping them all on the SD card of my Pi 4.

The favorites are stores in the gamelist.xml file of each system. As @Lolonois said, if you copy the config you should be alright.

@obsolete said in Naomi Error 01:

Create a folder with the title of the game.
Put the rom inside.
Create a folder within the folder with the same name as the rom.
Put the CHD in the folder.

Working as a charm. Found out same solution after searching a few hours ^^

Thanks. I'd completed the installation it without issue.

Running RetroPie from the desktop is not a supported configuration on the Pi. Use raspi-config from a terminal and configure your system to auto-boot to console as the pi user - https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/raspi-config.md

@mitu The file had the wrong file extension. I got it to update now!

@maschine You need to import them into the Skyscraper cache before regenerating the gamelists. Read how to do that here.

EDIT: Haha, just noticed you already commented about that yourself. Oh well.

Have you also noticed that the audio quickly mutes whenever the core changes the resolution ?

Yes, but I expect this to happen with emulation, since probably the emulator needs to re-calibrate and re-sync the audio to the video.

It only seems to happen on Raspberry Pi, i've tried Android and PC and they don't do it. The Android device I tried was a Firestick 4K which is a lot slower than a Pi 400.

it's weird how a clean install on a Pi 3 sets it as 'alsathread'

Not sure which version of RetroPie you're installing, but alsathread is not explicitly set as default anywhere in the latest version, regardless of Pi version. Could be that RetroArch chooses it as best at runtime.

I installed a clean version to my old Pi 3 from the Retropie Downloads section. The first thing I did was look at the audio section in Retroarch, it said 'alsathread'.

So to sum up, this whole thread was a pointless report and looks like we're stuck with it !
