What's in the boot partition of the SDcard ? It seems only config.txt is being read and the other files are either missing or corrupted - including the firmware files needed to start the boot. Did you get any errors during the update ?

You can copy over the files from a good known boot partition, but they'll have to match the kernel you have installed. You can save your sdcard as an .img file, then re-install RetroPie and do an update again. Save the boot partition contents, restore your initial image and copy over the saved file from the correct boot partition.

My quick question is, since the 4.6 official image is a couple of months old, if I really want to make sure to start from the best basis, does it suffice to run the «update packages»?

i would, but generally you shouldn't update unless there's something specific you want. and, as always, take a backup.

Does it covers everything there is to update? And are there things worth updating from source to get latest improvements (especially if regarding n64 performances)?

see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#binary-vs-source-updates

the best thing for n64 improvements is patience. some good improvements should be in the coming weeks/months.

Thanks @hhromic .

I knew that it's not easy to migrate from Jessie to Stretch.

Maybe, I should wait for the next evolution of Raspberry Pi... For me, do this migration is a vast amount of time moving files out and in the system.

Thank you!

@melusham said in Slow games list loading after a full update:

Is it a known issue ?

Not really

Is there any solution appart from reinstalling ? (a file to delete or modify ?)

Why would you reinstall ? Don't you want to try and fix the problem ?
Do you have a lot of artwork for the Arcade ROMs ? Are you running the ROMs from a network share or USB drive ?

Ok. Thanks for the answer !
Wasn't sure if you needed that driver for any on/off switch hooked up to the pins.

@buzz ok good, i deleted it. Thx now its all fine. ;)
