Plugged SD card into my new Raspberry Pi 4B. And when booting it is open to a black screen, with information at the bottom. References a start4.elf: is not compatable ; This board requires newer software.
I apologize if this is a dumb question....

Hi nts31180,
No, it's not a dumb question at all. The cause is that the firmware/boot loader is too old for the newer hardware revisions of Raspberry Pi 4. Sorry about that.
I will update the image file and re-publish it. Stay tuned.

The image has been updated. See the original post of this thread for the new download link.
Let me know if this solves the issue you're experiencing. Thanks!

Thanks so much, this did fix the issue.
Now just to work on uploading ROMs. Is there any write up I missed in the comments of how to do that? Has to be done through Sambra i'm seeing?
I'll have to research Sambra.

Hi nts31180,
You first need to expand the /data partition. To do so, execute this, once in a SSH session to the Raspberry Pi:
--- Code: ---./expand-data-partition.sh
--- End code ---
Please, refer to the README.txt file in the home folder (to viszualise the file, type: less README.txt). Refer to the "ROMS MANAGEMENT" section to know how to transfer ROM files to the system (and manage them).

Thanks, Used the expand data partition. And then using ethernet I was finally able to map the Sambra drive to be able to transfer roms!
Thanks for all the help. Hopefully smooth sailing from here.
