      When I launch raspberry pi and I go into setup it says no usable temporary directory found and then keeps repeating underwoltage detected
      all happened after loading in 948 sega genesis roms
      games work fine but I can’t get to desktop due to those 2 errors
      Specks:
      Raspberry pi connected to an lcd screen
      Not overclocked
      power supply apples 5.2volts and 2.4 amps
      games were loaded with usb stick

          @koogelpotato said in RetroPie low voltage and no usable temporary directory found:

          By the look of the warning messages you get and the 2.4 amps, I'd say your power supply is not very good. If you have 3B+ and/or you power up the LCD screen from your PI, then you'll definitely need a better source.
