      Done

      Still the same issue

      Honestly, I've wasted too much time on something that I was led to believe was easy to set up. Even you are stumped.

      I got my Raspberry Pi on Saturday it is now Tuesday I've since then spent over 40 hours on this in forums, YouTube, etc I'm about to just return it to Amazon.

      All I wanted was an emulation machine with retro achievements and this just isn't it. It's very clear to me that this doesn't work it might be user error but I have posted everything you've asked and you say everything is fine and should work.

      I am out of ideas and so are the countless hours of YouTube videos I've watched

      I'm starting all the way over from scratch hoping I missed a setting somewhere

        It would have been best to use a supported Pi platform, like Pi3/Pi4, instead of a Pi5, which doesn't have an image available and is still an a beta supported platform.

          The YouTube video you posted suggests using Pi OS with Desktop, which is incorrect. Could this create issues? Did you use this image?

              @mitu I would like to thank you for all your help it was helpful more than you know I appreciate what you mods do for free and how much time you spend helping people like me out. Thanks again Mitu

              If you're wondering what I did all I did was format the SD card and start from scratch so anyone who buys the Raspberry Pi 5 Canakit please format your SD card first and then follow the guide I used and not the Os that is provided on the SD card.
