@aimbit said in Flashing (outdated?) image to a new Pi 4 - Error Message on boot (Req. new software):

Is this something I can update on there, make a new backup image, and flash to my newer pi?

Update your system from the RetroPie-Setup on the old system - say yes when asked to update the included kernel and OS packages - then transfer again a backup to the new system.

@mitu
Thanks. I guess I just want the error suppresed and any other errors as trawling through a gamelist.xml for mame is going to take some time.

@MDtar7 Im running out of ideas, but try enabling SMB 1.0 support on your PC.
Its in Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows Feature On or Off and select SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support. Restart your computer and try it again.

@mitu Great thank you for the feedback and your patience. This process has been super frustrating. I have a internet doggle ordered and otw.

@BuZz thanks. I decided to start from scratch with the latest. Mark this as solved.

@mitu thanks for the comments.

@mitu my fault with the 3rd party images. I appreciate the help though. I’ll check it out and get back to you with my findings. Thanks again.

@quicksilver @mitu

It worked! Thanks for the help!!!

@mitu thank you, Mitu! I bought another memory card and it works!! You're the best :)

@hostolis
yep its gpu_mem=320.

@dreaded_walrus Please use a meaningful title when opening a topic.

Thre is not root password in the RetroPie image for the PI. The pi user has sudo privileges, so no password is needed if you prefix your commands with sudo.
What is the command/action you're trying to acomplish ? Move a file, edit a file, run a comand, etc. ?

@mitu

No something messed up as none of my keyboards worked either. I restarted from scratch. New image on and card and am setting up the usb load prior to adding my game collection

@starrslytleangel said in PSX Game Metadata does not save after exit error message:

By downloading the image will it erase what I have put on the retro pi?

Once you flash the official image to your card, it will erase everything prior, leaving you with a clean system.

I had the same error once on a fresh install with one of the carbon theme files. Like I said it was a fresh install and i never touched the file. I ignored it and i believe it was mentioned by someone else here. Deleting and reinstalling carbon fixed it. But yeah i think sometimes git has this issue.

IT WORKed on a download manager

@joykill06 Please give details about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Answer the questions there, then describe what package you're trying to install and the exact error you're receiving.

got it

hdmi_mode=82 1080p 60Hz

fixed

Ordered a processor that will support a 64 bit OS, and then I'll install a 64 bit version of Ubuntu. Will see if this fixes the issue...
