Error screen help
-
k, so I'm wondering if anyone can make sense of this for me.
This is a fresh image on a new 512gb sd card.
It's going into an iconic arcade in which I've swapped out most of the parts, new controller boards, 4 way to 8 way switcher, and a spinner with two buttons.
Running a pi4 with 4gb of ram, the control boards are reconized as dragonrise and its a tos 4way to 8 way switcher and thunderstick spinnerFirst boot i configured a ps4 controller and when i went into the menu to set local wifi options the controller buttons wouldn't work... forced to do a hard reset and i was presented with this screen.
Prior to this I built an image with a 200gig card with no issues, I wanted to add more games so i backed up my image and wrote it to my first 512gig card. Upon first boot of that it was sluggish, but workable... after 30gigs of transfers it just stopped... and on reboot i would get this screen or something similar.
Attempted again on new memory card I got as far as transfering files but again it stopped at around 30gbs of roms and I would get this screen.
This is now my thrid time, can it really be the memory card? can it be some of the extra components plugged in? I'm really at a loss but my 200gig card still works fine.
Ideas or feeback are welcomed.
thanks! -
It's most likely the card. If your other card is working fine and the new one is just a clone of the old one (so they have the same settings) , then it's most likely the new card is failing.

@mitu that's 3 x sandisk 512gb cards that failed... all ordered from amazon... i dunno man
-
@stevejp1978 there are some sdcard testing utilities, created in order to spot fake capacity units, you may want to run a test with one of the cards.
Another possibility would be an over-aggressive overclocking - but since the other card you have still works and has the same config, I've ruled that out. -
@mitu i've used h2testw and it came back ok
-
@stevejp1978 OK, so it's not the card. Are you using a proper power source ? Please add the rest of the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Pi Model or other hardware: Iconic Arcade pi 4@ 4gb
Power Supply used: 12v 7.5a
RetroPie Version Used (4.8
Built From: retropie-buster-4.8-rpi4_400
USB Devices connected: 2 dragonrise control boards, thunderstick tos 4way-8way switcher, thunderstick spinner, two usb hubs
Controller used: dragonrise w sanwa buttons
Error messages received: see screen shot
Verbose log (if relevant):
Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide)
File: (File with issue - with FULL path)
Emulator: (Name of emulator - if applicable)
Attachment of config files:
How to replicate the problem:
-started with script update, system was sluggish upon first boot, critical error when forced to hard reset after updating retropie script
-another time (different card) error happened when transfering roms stopped abbruptly, after reboot received error screen.
-Currently sucessful transfering roms on my third card, I have not updated the retropie script. -
Hard resetting the Pi may lead to filesystem corruption, which would produce a similar error like the one in the pictures. Since the joystick issue should be solved now, try to do the update and don't reset the Pi during the update.

@mitu must be the sd card... i can only transfer so many gigs until everything goes to shit.... the transfer just stops and on the next reboot usually i get a blank screen or the error screen that i posted. This is consistant with all 3 x 512gb sd cards. weird man. guess i'll just be happy with 200gb.... however i am able to use my controller again in the setup menu, so thanks for sorting that!

@stevejp1978 If you try to copy more than 200 Gb on the system where you've run h2testw, does it work or it stops there too ?
-
@mitu stops there too, I got 80+gigs of DC games, tried transfering the whole batch, failed 20-30gis in and couldn't transfer anything else. Upon reboot I usually get a black screen or a scan which leads to kernnal error. I've also tried not expanding the file system (just leaving the 183g image on the 500g card) and got the same result.

@stevejp1978 funny thing is that all 3 cards will pass the h2testw

@stevejp1978 you may also check your cards with
f3[1].As you write you use a 12V 7.5A supply: Make sure it delivers constantly (ie. even under high load) over 4.65V (5.25V max) to the Pi as SD cards are picky on undervoltage [2].
Here are some test results from 512GB cards [3], maybe you find additional pointers specific to your make and model of SD card.

@Lolonois thanks, not sure how to ensure it delivers a constant voltage while writing... however I'm not planning to waste any more time on this matter.
The cards in question is a sandisk 512gb ordered from amazon that i had for years and worked fine in my switch. I got the write error in my arcade and i thought the card was done, so i ordered a new one form Amazon. That card didn't work either... Amazon was good enough to send a second card for free and that one also failed.
Who knows, maybe a voltage issue makes sense, but there's no indication of undervoltage on the machine itself.
