      *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

                      Oh, I might add that the start up video has sound

                        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
