  • [RPi5] Error in mount_flash

    Quote from chewitt

    Windows does not understand and cannot 'see' Linux EXT4 partitions like the second/storage partition that cannot be mounted so it will not find issues with them or solve anything.

    The default disk management program in Linux Mint also didn't find anything.
    I don't know how to use GParted. All the options are unavailable. I can only display information.
    Can you help with GParted?

    Never mind. First I had to unmount the flash drive. GParted didn't find anything either.
    Someone wrote that it might be a problem with initializing in time.

  • [RPi5] Error in mount_flash

    My main PC is running Windows 11.
    Windows didn't detect any errors on the SD card after formatting. I used this command:
    chkdsk g:

    "Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
    No further action is required."

    And after the first reboot, this error appeared again.
    Ok, back to SanDisk.

  • [RPi5] Error in mount_flash

    Sometimes after restarting or turning on the RPi5 I get this message:

    Code
    *** Error in mount_flash: mount_common: Could not mount UUID=0111-4635 ***
### Starting debugging shell for boot step: mount_flash… type exit to quit ###

    I've had the RPi5 for a week, and the SD card is also new. It was a fresh LibreELEC installation, and then I restored a backup from the RPi4. It worked fine for a few days until yesterday.

    This is what it looks like after I typed exit several times:

    I tried another SD card (an old 16GB SanDisk) and so far I don't have this error. It was a fresh install and a backup from the problematic SD card (a 64GB Kingston Canvas Go! Plus).

  • [RPi4] How to run emulators?

    I have two more questions:

    1. How do I increase the volume? I have it maxed out, but it's terribly quiet.

    2. How do I disable automatic savestate?

    ---

    Okay, I found the option to disable automatic savestate. It's in Kodi's settings, not the emulator's.
    I don't know what happened to the sound, but it's fine now.

    But.

    Enabling analog stick controls (L1+R1+Select) in Ace Combat 2 doesn't work.
    And god forbid, don't enable the original resolution in the PS1 emulator if you're playing on a modern TV. I don't even know why there's such an option.

    And MAME can't read games packed into zip files.

  • [RPi4] How to run emulators?

    It's possible, but the ones I want to test don't have an "Open" option. I've only tested PS1 and MAME emulators. Are these add-ons for some main plugin?

    By the way, I don't know why LibreELEC can't add RetroArch to its official plugins. Retro gaming systems have Kodi built in, but playing through Kodi isn't possible. At least not in a straightforward way.

    ---

    Okay, I read it again and understood. I'm using Google Translate. However, launching games like this is unintuitive, and you have to manually select RetroPlayer to run the ROM file. Of course, the savegames must be in a different format than RetroArch. I'd have to learn it all over again, because why add the excellent RetroArch emulator when you can complicate everything and cut it into a million pieces... X/

  • LE 11.0.1, RPi4, slow SSH, commands not working

    Translator:

    SSH and editing the config.txt file is so slow that I had to use my most powerful computer to change a few lines of text. Also, some commands don't work. For example, turning off the LEDs:

    # Disable the PWR and Activity LED

    dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=none

    dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off

    dtparam=act_led_trigger=none

    dtparam=act_led_activelow=off

    [pi4]

    # Disable Ethernet LEDs

    dtparam=eth_led0=4

    dtparam=eth_led1=4

    SSH was very slow with this script.

    Now that the only change in the config file is overclocking the RPi4:

    over_voltage=2

    arm_freq=1800

    SSH works pretty well. But it's not perfect anyway.
