Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When I select my image why do I get a
message saying “No Image Found”?
A: Make sure that the software image
filename does not exceed 60 characters and is
either a BIN, ISO or IMG file.

does it not boot to the Menu System?

Board correctly and the ‘MENU.SYS’ file has
been copied to the root of the SD Card.

Port is not corroded or damaged and that the
cartridge is plugged in firmly.

any audio. Why can’t I hear any music or
background audio?

CDDA, please refer to the ‘Systems Manual’
