Re: Initial challenges with cores loading
Thank you for that. I took a quick look, and none of the arcade cores were the ones I tested - which would infer SDRAM is not required for the ones that failed for me.

Re the main problem of most arcade cores not loading, I noticed the following error message as it tried to load the arcade cores. Attached.

Initial challenges with cores loading
Hi, first post here - and new to MiSTer. Just got my system up and running - very vanilla - imaged the SD card, copied over and ran the update -all and wifi scripts. Pulled down arcade roms as part of the update -all. Loaded some NES and SNES roms into their respective /games folders. Input is a USB keyboard and Mayflash stick. Output is HDMI to a ...
