      Pi4 argon one v1 with expansion board
      500gb ssd WD blue
      Retropie 4.7.1
      Official psu

      boot screen

      Hi, I just installed my own retropie setup on my ssd inside my argon one case.
      Everything works but I have the above boot screen.

      I'm sure it's nothing bad that some config needs changing to ignore the sdcard check or similar.

      Can someone give me some advise. I can post cmdline or boot config etc if needed.

      Also it feels extremely slow to react emulationstation compared to on sdcard.

      Opening up menu in emulationstation and scrolling has big delays compared to sdcard. The activity light seems to be on alot more.

      I previously tried a fast recommended usb ssd drive and had same issue and thought an internal would be better.

      disk info

      Updated OS
      And now have
      Bootloader

      But still a constant green activity light on pi and slow.

      PS I found a solution on GitHub page
      Adding dtparam=sd_poll_once to boot config.

      Now all working as it should
      Thanks
      Sim
