        *Sorry it keeps trying to mark this post as SPAM when I use the code box

        @idbl_fanatic said in Corrupt after every reboot:

        Ok, so here's the deal and I cannot figure it out. If I shut down, or reboot the Pi (using either the interface, or sudo shutdown/reboot when it come back on, the resolution is HUGE, and then the games have no sound, after I restore from a backup, everything is fine again.

        I have tried multiple SD cards, and power supplies, same thing

        If I let it go and not restore it get to the point that my monitor says "No input"

        Pi Model or other hardware: 3
        Power Supply used: Argon ONE Raspberry Pi Micro USB Cable Power Supply 5.25 Volts 3 Amps
        RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
        Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website (retropie-buster-4.6-rpi2_rpi3.img)
        USB Devices connected: 2 Zero Delay
        Controller used:
        Error messages received: None
        Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant):
        File: (File with issue - with FULL path) ??
        Emulator: N/A (all)
        Attachment of config files:

        For more options and information see

        http://rpf.io/configtxt

        Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

        uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode

        #hdmi_safe=1

        display_rotate=1

        uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

        and your display can output without overscan

        #disable_overscan=1

        uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

        goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

        #overscan_left=16
        #overscan_right=16
        #overscan_top=16
        #overscan_bottom=16

        uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus

        overscan.

        #framebuffer_width=1280
        #framebuffer_height=720

        uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

        #hdmi_force_hotplug=1

        uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

        #hdmi_group=1

          Your information is incomplete - how did you install RetroPie ? Version 4.1 is a very old version.

              What resolution is your display and how is it connected ? Have you tried forcing a specific resolution through raspi-config ?

                can you explain a little about your setup? obviously you've got a rotated display - what changes did you make to achieve this?

                  I just added display_rotate=1 to the config file for my cocktail cabinet

                    Sorry, I didn't see your question, the display is 1280x1024, no I haven't tried forcing it, because I figured that would have nothing to do with the sound

                      So I just forced the resolution, that fixed that, but the game have no sounds

                          Ok, thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I forced the resolution, which fixed that on start up, then it got me thinking., that was only for the system level, so I started poking around the retropie configs, and set the audio to HDMI, and changed the audio driver to SD12 and everything seems to be working now
