No sound card (yet) roms won't start

Post by blameblaine » Fri Jul 21, 2017 8:08 pm

@helder or @wermy I need your help!

So I have all my pieces and parts for the MintyPi build. Sadly during my process I messed up my sound card. I decided to go all the way without it and add it on when I get another. But for some reason when I go to start a rom there is an error and the rom won't start.

I believe it has something to do with the software not recognizing there to be a sound card attached. Is there something in the software I can update to fix this until I get a new sound card? Thought I would ask you two since you both probably worked on the MintyPi image and how to setup the usb sound card.

Thanks!

Nope, it should start fine even without a sound card. What kind of ROM is it? Is it one that requires a bios, like GBA or PS1?

Sadly it's just an NES rom. I wish I could recreate the error message I get, but it goes so fast I can't read it or copy it.

Just let me know if you have any suggestions. I've tried Super Mario Bros 2 & 3 for the NES and it happens to both. I will try some other systems tonight.

You'll likely see an error on screen while it loads - it'll complain about there being no USB sound card. But it should still load the ROM.

Ok you were right. Very sorry for posting this now. I uploaded other roms for other systems and they work fine. Must have just been an error in uploading the roms I was trying in the first place. Thanks for your help thought Wermy!!

Glad you worked it out. Moving this to the software help section now since it's, well, software help. :)
