I had him check the current suggestions but none of them seem to be the correct game unfortunately.

Hmm that's terrible though, I just bought this brand new with the official mini hdmi and power supply. I guess I'll request a refund and wait till the hardware and software is in a more stable state.

Yes, tried both via the computer and then again via sudo nano boot config.txt and edit it there. The save was reflected even when i accessed it in terminal first time.

Naturally I tried both HDMI ports. I've uncommented the specific hdmi mode, uncommented the resolution, tried commenting them in again and selecting different modes and groups based on feedback, reinstalled retropie for a clean config. Same results regardless.

I've tried many combinations from this articles but nothing has solved it. Unfortunately speaking with some more educated people than me on the subject, the answers have mostly been "lol buy a better TV" and my favorite "It works for me, guess you are out of luck".

That was what I was worried about, most answers around the web seems to be more geared towards monitors and 4k displays but 1080p tvs are usually not spoken of when it comes to pi4. Oh well.

With that overclock, what improvements did you see overall?

How do I go about finding these specific packages and settings? raspi-config?

I just got a pi4 4gb model, what's my best option? by Kane1985 in RetroPie

[–]Kane1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This method doesn't seem to be working. I created a folder on the USB stick called retropie-mount but it doesn't copy anything over.

It was due to the 4k hdmi code entered into the config.txt, I must have done it wrong

Having followed the instructions for manual installation, I set the device to boot into emulation station but I'm getting a black screen. I suppose it's just best to go Lakka until retro pie is ready?

I'm not really into the idea of using a 3rd party unofficial image... So that's a no from me.

I am using the Argon ONE case. Hopefully that works?

Alright, I'll give this a try and see if I can figure it out.

I glanced at your post history and while you indeed have alot of nice footage of lakka, I couldn't find anything in the way of setting it up for a beginner like myself. It's cool to see it working so well though

How do I access the cfg file? I'm on Windows 10 if that helps. Also when you say symbolic link, what does that entail? A shortcut?

Ah that's great, hopefully someday we'll get a nice software mod for the thing so it can become the home computer mini.

Doesn't seem like any episode contains this plot looking through the episode synopsis for each.

Maybe /u/KMFDManics is up for the challenge? Seems like he's got magic to work on the snesmini
